    Blister Prevention That Works For All

    I found prevention right from the start. I put omnifix on all of my toes every morning including a strip around my heels and took my shoes and socks off at lunchtimes. Not for everyone but it worked for me. But still had sore toes and lost a toenail 2 weeks after finishing but no blisters lol.
