Did you know that up to 76% of runners and 95% of walkers suffer from foot blisters?

Nobody likes blisters on their feet they are messy, painful and they can pop up when you least expect it on your heels, toes and anywhere in between. Despite never being welcomed blisters are very common in sports like football, netball and tennis and they're common when we buy new shoes start a new activity or spend more time on our feet.

So why are foot blisters so common and so hard to fix?

We often blame heat moisture and friction - but there's more to blisters than meets the eye.
Blisters aren't caused by rubbing on the skin. They're caused by stretching under the skin surface. The weak point is just under the skin surface. The connections that hold skin cells together fatigue and break. This is how blisters begin. Finally, fluid slowly fools the area making the skin bubble up to resemble what I'm sure you recognise as a blister.

It's a subtle difference, but it opens up many more effective ways to prevent blisters than the impossible pursuit of trying to keep your feet cool and dry when you exercise.

Podiatrists know this. They're experts at finding ways to stop blister causing shear by changing the way your bones move, or using special materials in your shoe to absorb shear, reduce pressure and friction levels.

So if you're training for a race or an adventure, if you want to get through the next game without blisters, if you're exercising more for your mental and physical health, or if your feet seem to be blister prone and you've simply had enough, see your podiatrist and ask for a blister plan.

They will discuss your blister history, examine your feet, gait, and your shoes, they’ll discuss your susceptibilities, and understand your goals, to create your very own written blister plan that you can easily follow.

So get in touch with your local podiatrist today and ask for your blister plan. For more details, head over to the Blister Prevention website at https://www.blister-prevention.com
