Blister Protection – Buyer’ Guide
Painful blisters can form due to friction when you wear tight or unsuitable footwear, especially if combined with intensive or prolonged exercise.
This Buyer’s Guide will help you to choose the best foot care products to prevent and treat blisters.
Blister Plasters & Healing
Reskin patches, anti-blister lubrication and gel padding are all effective in reducing friction during activities and preventing the formation of blisters in the first place. Self adhesive blister plasters provide instant blister relief by preventing further friction. Blister plasters are available in a range of sizes to be effective on blisters of different sizes. By sealing out dirt and bacteria to prevent infection, blister plasters create a perfect environment for blister healing, with some containing special ingredients that provide soothing relief. You may apply the blister plaster before your activity, for the prevention of blisters, or to relieve friction on a blister that has already formed. Blister plasters usually stay in place for several days to provide protection, reduce foot pain and aid healing.

Blister Prevention Socks
Blisters form best in hot, moist conditions. Blister prevention socks have an inner layer made from a fibre that wicks away perspiration to the moisture absorbing outer layer, keeping the feet dry. This combination of fibres and movement of moisture maintains a comfortable temperature for the foot. In addition, the inner layer of the sock stays with the foot, whilst the outer layer moves with the shoe, thus eliminating friction on the skin and reducing wear. These special features of blister prevention socks help to keep the foot dry and blister free.
