Free UK Walking Routes Top 5 Tips To Prevent Blisters

5 Top Tips To Prevent Blisters

1. Wear two pairs of socks.

The technical theory behind this is that the inner liner sock moves with your foot and the outer hiking socks move with the boot. The friction is then created between the two layers. The other benefit to this method is that the inner liner sock wicks away moisture from your foot keeping it dryer and thus stopping your skin getting soft and wrinkly and prone to blisters.

2. Wear your hiking boots in.

Give them a good walking around so they get used to how your foot works and where it need to bend with your foot. It will also soften up the leather and fabric a little. Don’t go out on a long hike to break them in, but wear them about for short walks, around the house, that sort of thing. This one really can make a difference.

3. Get your hiking boots properly fitted.

Go to a shop that knows about the bio mechanics of the foot and leg and how it all works. Make sure that they measure your foot for both width and length. You’ll be amazed by how often people don’t really know the size of their feet. Your expert walking boot fitter will then be able to best match your foot to a type of boot that is suitable for you. Give the walking boots a good walk in the shop. Have they got a slope for you to try them on to see if your foot slips? They should have. Always make sure you have room to wiggle toes and that they are not up against the end of the boot nor are they too far away fro the end of the boot. There should be no heel slippage.

4. Tape up your heels.

If you have a pair of boots that weren’t fitted for you and you get blisters then use two roles of wide zinc oxide tape and put a layer of this across your heel. This is also a blister prevention method that works very well if you cannot find proper blister prevention plasters.

5. Get some Blister Prevention Patches.

These go on the inside of your hiking boot heels and they them seem to prevent blisters which are like a slipper piece of extremely sticky back plastic and they do work.

Enjoy these tips and enjoy your walking routes, blister free!
