[QUOTE="trecile, post: 906575, member: 52787"] That's what happened to me when I wore toe socks! I got a big bubbly blister right between my big toe and second toe. Fortunately, it wasn't in an area that got any pressure on it, so it didn't hurt. I just left it alone and it finally just healed. The other time that I got a blister on the Camino was during my first Camino. I had been walking with a "Camino family" from Roncesvalles, and we always took good breaks, the weather was hot and I always aired out my feet and checked them out during those breaks. Eventually the family drifted apart, and I found that when I was walking alone I didn't take the time to rest, and therefore wasn't checking my feet. I remember finally stopping for lunch in San Juan de Ortega, and there it was - a blister on one of my toes! Even though it was tiny it hurt!! Strangely, the following year while I was walking that stretch between Villafranca Montes de Oca and San Juan de Ortega that same toe started to be sore - it was almost like it had a memory of developing a blister at that point on the Camino! That time I did stop and checked it out, but there was no redness or other evidence of a hot spot, though I did wrap a small bandage around it. My "secret" for avoiding blisters is to put some Omnifix or Hypafix tape on the "trouble spots" - the balls of my feet and a couple of toes every morning. [/QUOTE]
