Blister help
I bought boots back in January and have used them on all my training hikes. They were okay the first couple of times but then started causing blisters. This past weekend was a very difficult training hike and I came home with horrible blisters. One on the bottom of my left foot and blisters on both sides of my toebox. Before you offer suggestions…. Here’s what I’ve tried:
Sock liners
Wool socks (darn tough and another brand)
Wools socks with liners
Moleskin with sock liners
Leukotape
Leukotape over moleskin
At this point I think it is just the shoes (which I was professionally fitted for and yes they have the Goretex to help with moisture wicking etc)
I feel like I’m doing everything right but now I’m panicked about a 12-day Philmont trek. I know there isn’t time to break in another pair but what else can I do? I’m very close to buying a pair of Hoka boots and just wearing them 24/7 until we leave lol. They seem very breathable. Help?!?!
