blister prevention

Stopping skin bubbles

Blister prevention refers to measures taken to avoid friction blisters, especially on feet during hiking or athletics.

Common strategies include wearing moisture-wicking socks, breaking in new shoes gradually, applying lubricants or tape to friction-prone areas, and addressing hot spots before they develop into full blisters: Good blister prevention starts with properly fitted boots.
