Athletes: How To Treat Blisters On Your Feet

How should an athlete treat blisters on the feet?

An athlete should treat blisters on the feet very carefully, and it really needs to be paid attention to. The most common cause of blisters is a poor-fitting shoe. Using padding or a band-aid, using vaseline between the toes when long-distance running, getting a good shoe fit, sometimes wearing two socks are all helpful. Many long-distance runners will actually change shoes in the middle of a long race to avoid developing blisters.
