seniors<\/a>, blisters are simply a part of everyday life \u2013 they\u2019re an inconvenience to our training and quality of life. Whether your breaking in a new pair of shoes or trying to outperform the other seniors on the bowls green \u2013 the chances are you\u2019re going to develop a blister sooner or later.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are a few preventative strategies you can follow to reduce the chances of you developing a blister while you\u2019re running or playing your favorite sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wear comfortable shoes with accommodative toe-boxes and heel support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wear socks made with moisture-wicking materials to prevent your feet from getting wet while you run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apply moleskin bandages to the areas of your feet that are at high risk of developing blisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reduce moisture in the shoes by using an antiperspirant foot spray before you put on your shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid using two pairs of socks \u2013 the rubbing of the layers causes additional friction that leads to the formation of blisters.
