Also, the book “Fixing your Feet . . .” By Jon Vonhof. $25 for new 7th edition at REI and elsewhere. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for new to and veteran pilgrims. Buen Camino

I agree that the book, Fixing Your Feet is a great resource. Also, check out a new insole product, InStryde - it’s a game-changer for comfort and support.

I suffer with blisters on every Camino regardless of all my foot care, shoes and socks. As in the article I use Kinesio-Tex when I feel the pain coming in. On the tender points of the fatty toes and around the bottom of the heels i now use the tape before it starts feeling tender. Great tape

Have you used the blue Engo patches which you put in your boots or shoes to reduce friction? Buen Camino

Whether it has or not, it is a great resource. John Vonhof's work is classic. Another great resource is the advice from Rebecca Rushton at https://www.blister-prevention.com/.

Even though I only had one tiny toe blister on my first Camino, after I discovered Omnifix tape during my second walk I have been applying it to my known blister prone areas every morning. I consider it a sort of insurance policy against blisters, and it works better if I use it, than if I leave it in my pack waiting for a problem.
