It’s no secret that I have really wide feet... and no secret that I really suffer from blisters. Over the years I’ve researched and tried to educate myself and I do everything I can to try and avoid these dreadful things.
My most vulnerable area are my little toes. I can get blisters on the front, side, underneath and in between but most often underneath where the little toes curls under the neighbouring toe. I understand the blister is formed from me stepping on my toe with every step.
I wear Altra Lone Peaks and this helps... Drymax socks work best for me and I tape with omnifix and sometimes I’ll also use gel/silicone tubes... and I rest and air my feet. It’s a bit of a performance but I do everything and anything to stay blister free.
I also use engo patches. I’ve watched all the videos but I’m still not 100% sure of the best place to stick them to help with my little toes.
Can anyone resident experts offer advice please (@davebugg )
