Blister Prevention & Protection

Blisters are most commonly caused by friction, which occurs when your skin repeatedly rubs against another surface, tearing the epidermis and filling the area with fluid. Sweating worsens this issue, especially during physical activities, making feet more susceptible to blisters. Ill-fitting shoes and toe deformities are frequent culprits.

Preventing Blisters: Tips for Friction-Free Feet

The key to blister prevention is reducing friction. Here’s how:

• Choose Proper Footwear: Wear shoes that fit well—neither too tight nor too loose.
• Inspect Shoes: Check for seams or worn areas inside shoes that could increase friction.
• Protect Vulnerable Areas: Use padding, blister patches, powder, or moisturiser to shield friction-prone spots.
• Wear High-Performance Socks: Select socks designed to reduce friction and wick moisture away.
• Keep Feet Cool & Dry: Change damp footwear and socks to maintain dryness and comfort.
