There are tons of antifriction creams, balms, etc., such as Body Glide, Nok, etc. Decathlon stores have one too. And many people use Vaseline.I would love to hear from others about this product. I remember talking to a couple of French Canadians in Roncesvalies 6 or 7 years ago about an anti chafing and blister preventing product that they said all French people swear by. They said it was not available in Spain. That is was only available in France. I live in Mexico and the cost on Amazon Mexico is $80US!!!! I will be walking the Norte and was wondering if I can buy this in San Sebastian? I will not be in France at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a photo of it. Is this the miracle cream these people were referring to?
I use vaseline and it works very well. I have only had 2 or 3 real blisters in 3 camino. I was just wondering if the hype of the product was worth the price. Thanks for your input.There are tons of antifriction creams, balms, etc., such as Body Glide, Nok, etc. Decathlon stores have one too. And many people use Vaseline.

My husband and I are going to do our second Camino leaving Sept. 7 from St. Jean. My first Camino was in 2015 from St. Jean to SdC and my husband's was in 2016 from Pamplona to SdC. I had some issues with blisters as my feet are soft and no matter what I do, I can't seem to toughen them up. I came across this cream, Akileïne Sports NOK Anti-chafing Cream, and wondered if anyone had any experience with it. I don't want to have the issues I had before. Thanks for any advice you have. Buen Camino!
Hi, Tina. Are you the pilgrim Anne and I met at Corazon Puro on our first day and hiked with over the Pyrenees and down to Roncesvalles in May 2015? If you are, one of the French pilgrims we met at Orisson used and swore by NOK. I tried it but did not feel it made an exceptional difference. I used a combination of vaseline and taping the toes I knew were prone to blisters. I also bought some ENGO patches, which I do think have helped. You apply them to your shoes, not your feet, and you can search online to purchase. They are expensive. Let me know if you are my peregrina friend from Florida!My husband and I are going to do our second Camino leaving Sept. 7 from St. Jean.
