Question:
How can you cure or prevent foot blisters?
My husband has started a new job where he walks for miles but has to wear new safety boots... he is getting terrible blisters... can anyone tell me how to cure them or to prevent them? thanks
Answers:
2 pairs of socks, first pair snug fitting for preference out of silk bu you will be hard put to find them smooth pure cotton are okay if you can get seamless all the better l. second sock slightly thicker usually wool blend again no seams are best.
Next thing you can do is put talcum powder on your feet first
What you are trying to achieve is a slip not a rub effect.
You can also use padded insoles like you would get for sports trainers these reduce impact and there fore the force of any rubbing.
Do not lance blisters if you can avoid it you risk infection
Break boots in before you need to use them in anger (20 mins half hour a day and build form there) wear them around the house for preference.
Good foot care, at the end of the day take of the boots put the sock in the wash, wash your feet dry between the toes apply moisturiser (cheap baby stuff is OK) let the feet breath
Blister care:
Hydrogel blister "plasters" or similar, use same foot care regime let feet dry thoroughly and let moisturiser absorb fully then apply plaster, if you have a burst blister use antisceptic cream not moisturiser
Final thought do not soak boots in bath and walk around in them it ruins the leather and really doesn't help.
