What are the best ways to prevent blisters from forming in the first place?

Asked 4 years ago

Hey, I frequently experience blisters when going on longer walks. I try to stay on the lookout for ways to prevent them from forming in the first place. I always make sure I pack plasters in case I get one. I really would like to know if anyone has tips to stop the blisters from forming in the first place. Any help would be appreciated and would stop me from a lot of potential pain.

Preventing blisters on your feet involves addressing the underlying cause. If you develop a blister due to friction, wearing properly fitted shoes is the first line of defence. If your feet rub along a specific shoe area, wearing an insole may provide extra padding and reduce friction.
