why dont you try putting a bandage/band-aid around your toes, or use talcum powder in your shoes for lubrication.
Reply:Each person%26#039;s feet are unique and you may not have the correct pair of shoes. You should put a few miles on your shoes to make certain they fit before any long trips. Duct tape works great for hot spots, but once a blister develops you have a potential for infection. At minimum, bring a sterile pin to drain blisters, and Neosporin to prevent infection.

Reply:You should never wear new boots when you are hiking!! It is what causes blisters because the material needs to be softened up. Try wearing long thick socks, while you break in your boots!
Reply:I have used mole skin for years on the problem areas. I stick it on before I go and I do okey dokey now. You can buy it at any drug store in the feet department!
Reply:get more comfortable shoes and new socks.
Reply:Band-aids on the spots that rub. Friction causes blisters. So does moisture. Invest in some foot powder or some baby powder. Anything that will keep your feet dry. Sprinkle some in your socks. It helped me a lot. So band-aids where friction occurs, and powder to absorb moisture.
Reply:change your socks often so they stay dry.. you could also get a special kind of tape or use duct tape or moleskin to wrap around your toes to reduce friction
