[QUOTE="Rambler, post: 337069, member: 2038"] Linni: I have done two things to toughen feet up with very good success: [LIST] [*]Soak feet in strong hot tea- I soaked my feet several weeks before my first Camino in about a gallon of very strong black tea. I have used family sixe tea bags and made it as hot as I could stand. Let the feet soak till the tea cools. This done for 3-4 weeks before leaving, 1-2 times per week, will toughen up the skin very well [*]Rubbed pure lanolin- I would rub this on my feet the day after I soaked them. This is typically sold in the maternity area as a lotion for breast feeding mothers. It will soften your feet, but make a good strong waterproof barrier to reduce blisters. [*]Do also as stated above regarding double layer socks, lubricant before walking, larger shoes, etc. All these make a difference and taken together can make you blister free the whole trip.
