WHAT do YOU do for "foot care"? What things do you do to prevent and deal with things like blisters and "hot spots"?
Personally, I gave up "moleskin" ages ago. (I know many people still swear by it). I find that it doesn't stick super well and causes as many issues as it solves. Now, I pre-tape potential friction spots with "leukotape. (I use the cloth kind--not the "plastic" kind of leukotape). (For many years, I used duct tape, but I like leukotape MUCH better). I MIGHT sometimes place a band aid as a first layer and to serve as additional padding in some spots--and I then tape over it. Here is leukotape: www.amazon.com/BSN-Medical.../dp/B07KB5KSB2 I have gone back to often using two pairs of "socks"--one pair being a "liner" . (For me, my liner is now a first layer-and it is a pair of Injinji 'toe socks"). Here is a link to those liners: www.injinji.com/shop/liner.html I have various other tricks and tips for foot care. What are some of yours?
