[QUOTE="HelenVanW, post: 906673, member: 61749"] This is good information, Rob. Thanks. In addition, I would say a product that we took with us from the USA that kept us walking after getting blisters was a wonderful item by Spenco called "Second Skin Blister kit" and particularly the gel squares. I haven't seen anything like this anywhere else, although there could be. We discovered these prior to our first Camino, and oddly enough my first blister was not on my feet. (We follow a similar regimen as you with our feet for preventing friction, moisture and heat.) It was on my collar cone from my overloaded pack! These gel squares are super helpful. Another item that helped us prevent friction in our hikers is a nifty product by Engo called Blister Prevention Patches. Essentially they are pliable teflon patches with adhesive on one side that you cut to fit and apply to your shoe if you have a spot that is rubbing too much. (We use these on all types of shoes back home, too, especially new ones we are breaking in.) These items are available from Amazon here. It's always helpful to share this information in case it can help someone. Thanks for yours. [/QUOTE]
