[QUOTE="Deleted member 61803, post: 907387"] As a blister free hiker can I throw two things into the melting pot. 1. Don't put a Compeed blister plaster on a hot spot. That is not what they were intended for. 2.try and ensure you get properly fitted boots or shoes in the first place. When getting fitted, by properly qualified fitters, always go in the afternoon, try and be on your feet as much as possible before going, and wear the socks you intend to wear whilst walking. This should allow your feet to "swell". Learn how to lace those particular items of footwear to stop toes banging off the front of the footwear and heels rubbing against the back. (The worst blisters I saw were on one person's heels due to the shoe not fitting properly and being improperly laced. They had to give up by Logroño) Shoes/boots that fit in the morning with a pair of thin nylon socks may not fit very well in the afternoon having walked up and down hill for 6 hours or more with thick socks. Lacing is often overlooked but is very important. Plenty of help via YT6. [/QUOTE]
