[QUOTE="Roby, post: 907454, member: 84752"] Quality shoes (waterproof GoreTex because I want to avoid wet feet at all costs), quality seamless socks for hikers (I prefer synthetic materials because they dry quickly and the foot is always dry in them) and on every break longer than 10 minutes, I take off my shoes to let the socks dry a bit and to have the shoelaces adjusted again to a foot that is probably a little swollen. Sometimes I massage my feet a little. If I feel a stone in the shoe or a hot place, I react immediately, take off the shoe and solve the problem, time must not be wasted because a blister can form very quickly. Every 4-5 days I smeared my feet with Vaseline before bed or after an afternoon shower. I would be very careful with larger shoes because slipping your feet in them will also lead to rubbing of the skin and then to blisters. In an oversized shoe, contact between the toes and the shoe can also occur and this can lead to a black toenail. Other than that, I don’t use absolutely anything else, nor do I need extra attention on my feet. [/QUOTE]
