How to prevent blisters - taping technique

Published 2023-01-30
By placing a layer of rigid tape over the most frequent friction areas we allow the tape to take the brunt of the friction preventing the skin from being damaged.
Ensure you remove the tape carefully after your game or event as the skin will be moist and can be fragile as a result. Alternatively you could apply hyperfix below this to assist protecting the skin.

Great video

Big hiker. Leukotape-P and Joshua Tree Climbing Salve over it to prevent it sticking to the sock. It is an almighty godsend. Good video! I have found the tape sticks better if I round it. I usually take individual strips and put them on wax paper. Good placement you have for distance backpacking or running though!

My toenail (toe next to biggest) formed a blister under the nail bed and eventually came off

What s name for this tape?

Hi, I tend to get blisters under the arch of my right foot when running. I don’t have orthotics so I’m not sure what my foot is rubbing against. It happens all the shoes I’ve ever had so it’s not the shoe. Do you think it might be my foot strike? Do you know of any way to prevent it besides taping?
-
Would this method work to prevent blisters during travel while a lot of walking is happening?
-
These videos would be much more helpful if there was a second person taking a close-up video of the foot rather than the foot taking up 1/40 of the screen of the video. Definitely requires a close-up on the toes. There’s too many videos that focus on the arch. Please post another one with better video technique and thank you for your content.
