[QUOTE="Cdancer, post: 771317, member: 85775"] On my first day of the Camino I met people who had walked multiple times on Frances They use A and D baby ointment which they gave me a spare tube. It worked great except you cannot get it in Spain. Being a pharmacist I understood that blister are caused by friction so here is what I found you can make a pretty close copy of A&D ointment by mixing the following 2 parts petroleum jelly ( vasoline ) one part mineral oil and one part lanolin. All of which you can get at Claire’s throughout Spain. You will find that this works much better than the Vaseline alone I also use a 12 percent urea cream at night before going to bed to soften and deep moisturize my feet. I used comped occasionally and had only one small blister on a day I did 25k. I wouldn’t have had that one if I would have re applied during that day of my longest walk. I also used saloman boots which were well broken in and the best merlon. Socks. Best money I ever spent after seeing all the people with foot problems. PS I am 70 and felt bad for all the tennis shoes kids with blisters [/QUOTE]
