Duct tape applied carefully with no bumps or creases is the wonder solution. I have used it preventatively, on hot spots, and also on open blisters.

I often get bunching when wearing two layers of socks and that might help cut down on it. Also- I am planning on getting back into cross country skiing again this winter!! More to come....<br /><br />Janelle-Thanks for the tips!! I've come across that vaseline thing before and haven't been brave enough to try it- mainly because it sounds so messy. I think if I can't get the lastest round of blisters to heal I may give it a try though!

I unfortunately am just getting into the backpacking world myself so I have no experience hiking in either. One suggestion I do have is to try covering your blisters or the areas on your feet that rub directly with vaseline. This may sound strange but I have been an avid soccer player for years with my husband and we both have solved the blister issue before it pops up by applying vaseline and it works. I'd wear the two socks and just add the vaseline directly on the foot if the moleskin falls off after a while of hiking.

Just a piece of duck tape on the area you want to protect and rather than two socks, get the double layered ones, forget the brand, starts with a W I think. Meant for runners, but might work for hiking as well.ibagoaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562326944264507489noreply@blogger.com
