[QUOTE="MTtoCamino, post: 377809, member: 24296"] I have been thinking of what I learned from my walk so I will share. With my Keens if I walked more than 6 hours I would still get blisters under the ball of my foot. So I realized the extra friction was in that area. I fixed it by cutting another set of foot pads just the front section I slid under the existing pad. (I took extra pads) That worked until I wore out the top pad. I had a really good set of Sole pads with me heated in the oven that create a customized fit. ( I was leary to try them ) They turned out to be the best thing ever! I kept the extra foot beds in my Crocks the extra thickness helped stabilize while waking around at the end of the day. Blisters: The care of blisters is a discussion that will forever be a hot topic of how to deal with them. Not everyone will agree to my method but it works for me. 1. Hands feet must be washed before you start. 2. You will need a needle, antibiotic cream, mole skin, a very hot flame (cigar lighter under pressure) a mini blow torch. Use the mini blow torch to sterilize the needle. Very carefully puncture just the blister & drain completely as you can. Don't slip or drive the needle into your foot. Dry the best you can Cover the wound wth antibiotic cream. Cover with mole skin. [/QUOTE]
