Blister Prevention
Blisters Blisters are a condition that can lead to infection if not properly treated. They're not only extremely painful, they also can affect your running form and may seriously disrupt your training for a few days. A blister that becomes infected may take several weeks to heal. There're several reasons runners get blisters.
Friction causes blisters.
Blisters can occur anywhere on your foot, but
they're most likely to develop on the ball of your foot or your toes. Because they can become infected if they're opened and exposed to
germs, you should avoid "popping" blisters.
Avoiding blisters is easy if you follow the following tips.
