Socks And Boots

Socks And Boots

Remove boots and socks and allow feet to rest and cool. A soak in a cool stream would be ideal. Shake out and dirt and sand or pebbles from boots and socks. Apply a soft piece of moleskin to the red area. It may prevent the development of a blister. Change into fresh socks if at all possible and/or apply some cooling foot powder.

Although blisters are not entirely preventable, the right selection of socks and boots and a little common sense will help to keep you hiking long distances. Don't let a little heat and water ruin your day.
