Banish Blisters (Part 1)
Blisters can be a minor annoyance or they can be a show stopper.
Avoid blister trouble by:
- Finding the right fit. Don't wear shoes that cause friction or rub.
- If you routinely get blisters on your toes, buy shoes that are a half size larger.
- Grease up. Apply a lubricant such as Bodyglide or BlisterShield powder to blister prone areas before running.
- Wear the right socks. Try anti-blister socks with Teflon.
- Trim your toenails. Cut nails so that they don't rub against the tip of the shoe, or an adjacent toe.
