[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 84979, member: 10982"] Georgia, I am really sorry to hear about the injury you have sustained, and that there might be problems with the boots you have bought. That might be so, but it seems from your description that the blisters are significant, which indicates that you didn't realise how bad they might have become while you were walking. It is always important to be sensitive to the little messages from your feet (ankles, knees, etc) when walking. My observation is that new walkers find this particularly difficult, perhaps because everything is so new and different that it is hard to know what needs attention, and what can be ignored for a while longer. It is always better to stop at the first sign of a hot spot and treat the area than to keep walking. Learning what those signs are is the difficult part if you are new. You might also benefit from pre-taping the danger areas with a tape or dressing product like Fixomul or Medipore. These proprietary products are very similar highly conformable dressing tapes. That is, they will be relatively easy to shape to your foot, and they can reduce the friction between your sock and foot considerably. [/QUOTE]
