Almost reluctant to post as foot care, shoes etc... can set off a firestorm on hiking forums...
BUT if it helps anyone else I thought I'd share this worked for us (a family of 6 that hiked over 1,100 miles last year).
My two oldest sons had some foot issues on the Le Puy route, and about 3/4 of the way through this route before starting our Spanish stretch to Santiago we met a nice lady who shared what she had used to help her blisters.
She recommended "NOK" cream.
She recommended square gauze that was soft (there is a difference)
She recommended this kind of medical tape that you cut from a roll and it stretches. The roll was pretty big, but since we had several of us I didn't mind that burden of carrying.
***************
I could not find NOK in Spanish drug stores, but did get my last container in SSJP.
***************
I thought I couldn't get it here in the States but all along I have been spelling it wrong and just now found it!!!

**************
I will try to post a picture of what we used, as I remember taking pictures with the hopes to share.
I also remember the NOK smelling good!

Make sure you don't order more than a flight will let you take on board...
