[QUOTE="Aidan21, post: 906762, member: 17003"] Hi Rob, I too am in the very fortunate position of never having a blister in 2000+ kms of Camino walking. I also have a regime that includes a daily dose of Vaseline, boots a size too big, boots properly laced and tied to anchor the heel and allow the toes to wiggle freely and when I have a hot spot to STOP immediately and treat it. Just STOP what you are doing the second you feel any discomfort and deal with the hop spot!!!! I use a compeed on a hot spot (not on a blister, just on the hot spot). If the blister has formed then you move to plan B and treat the blister, but treating hotspots is Plan A. Good preparation and immediate treatment I have found to be very effective. Aidan PS, on day one of my Caminos I have used a compeed as a Prophylactic on my heels and sometimes on the balls of my feet. I have found that to be helpful also as the first few days are when the feet are most likely to acquire a blister as they adapt to a new walking regime. [/QUOTE]
