We couldn’t find a better title for this one because
it is true, Blisters Suck…big time.
That’s why we wanted to put together this episode and
share some experiences, tips and suggestions on how to try and prevent getting
blisters on your hiking adventures.
There’s not one-single miraculous solution for them.
Since each human being is unique our feet react differently to blisters’
formation, so in order to avoid them and keep them away we’re laying out a
bunch of solutions for you to try and see which works better.
Episode
Highlights:
- Figuring out the best system for you to prevent from

for your skin. It all depends on your situation

- What to keep in mind when buying your hiking shoes or
boots to avoid getting blisters
