I suffer with blisters on every Camino regardless of all my foot care, shoes and socks. As in the article I use Kinesio-Tex when I feel the pain coming in. On the tender points of the fatty toes and around the bottom of the heels i now use the tape before it starts feeling tender. Great tape

Whether it has or not, it is a great resource. John Vonhof's work is classic. Another great resource is the advice from Rebecca Rushton at https://www.blister-prevention.com/.

Even though I only had one tiny toe blister on my first Camino, after I discovered Omnifix tape during my second walk I have been applying it to my known blister prone areas every morning. I consider it a sort of insurance policy against blisters, and it works better if I use it, than if I leave it in my pack waiting for a problem.
