    No Blisters over 560 Km (or any other foot issues)!

    ...IMHO, for no blisters! I loved how lightweight they were as well! My second shout out is a thanks to Dave, @davebugg for recommending the Engo Blister prevention patches. I only needed to use them on the toe box area, as it is always my toes that get blisters. They seemed to help change...

    Final Long Walk Before Departing for the Ingles

    I can’t wait to hear about your journey together when you get back. I laughed when I read about the floss. Jill sounds incredibly focused and delightful with her joy in doing this Camino with you. Safe journey. I’m so happy for you both. Health is all we need and then each other. Buen Camino &...

    Final Long Walk Before Departing for the Ingles

    Dave do you and Jill live in Vancouver Wa or Portland Or? You stated the loop on each side of the Columbia River. I live in Vancouver. I’m in Santiago. Finished the Frances late last week.

    Final Long Walk Before Departing for the Ingles

    ...routines. This has also allowed me to help Jill fine tune her shoe-sock-anti blister 'protocols', too. In fact, I just finished applying some Engo patches to strategic areas in her shoes and on her insoles. So, I guess we should survive walking a Camino together :) Today, among other...

    Hot spot on toe close to leaving on Camino

    Hot spot on toe close to leaving on Camino

    I have not used engo patches but possibly they may help you here. Essentially they are Teflon patches that adhere to the insides of your footwear to reduce friction. The following links to a forum search on engo. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/search/799615/?q=Engo&o=date [Edit...

    Where to Place Engo Patches?

    ...days’ walking and now wear them all the time. But they do take up room in your shoe/boots, so may not work so well for wider feet. I also use engo patches, mainly to prevent heel blisters. I have read (maybe in @davebugg’s post) that they can be applied to the insole which may work for one...

    Where to find Engo patches?

    ...your feet. BTW Compeed patches are a blister treatment for de roofed blisters, not a blister preventative. Here's information on how to use Engo patches https://goengo.com/help/how-to-use-engo-blister-patches/ And here's information on how to use Compeed...

    Where to Place Engo Patches?

    Engo patches treat the friction that happens between the shoe/sock/foot. They don't help with toe overlap or rubbing toes. I think the only thing you can do is tape one or two toes or add a rubber spacer between them (which, with wide feet, will probably just cause your outer toe to press...

    Where to find Engo patches?

    I am little confused about this. Are these another brand of Compeed?

    Where to Place Engo Patches?

    Many thanks for this. I love Rebecca's site and I joined to get more info a few years ago. I put engo patches on my insole where I've had hot spots but I did wonder if they were pointless for the little toe blisters... what you say confirms this. So I guess that saves me buying additional...

    Where to Place Engo Patches?

    This from blister guru Rebecca Rushton: "ENGO Patches need to apply to the shoe to stop blisters and so they can’t stop blisters between the toes – because there is no shoe surface to apply them to (except Vibrams of course). We do have customers that stick them to toe-socks. But they won’t last...

    Where to Place Engo Patches?

    I have the same problem with curling little toes. I don’t know about Engo patches, but I have tried a lot of other things and the only thing that really helped was using “Hiker’s wool” or something similar, natural lamb’s wool with high lanolin content. You can wrap it around the toes and it...

    Where to Place Engo Patches?

    ...tubes... and I rest and air my feet. It’s a bit of a performance but I do everything and anything to stay blister free. I also use engo patches. I’ve watched all the videos but I’m still not 100% sure of the best place to stick them to help with my little toes. Can anyone resident...

    Vaseline on feet?

    ...blisters on my camino in 2017. Doing a last minute (leave in 2 weeks) camino beginning in Leon and worried sick about blisters. Would the Engo Patches help to prevent blisters on the toes? Not worried about my heels. Using different shoes (Hoka's instead of boots) and maybe going to try...

    Blister under callous on heel - do I ditch my shoes??

    ...who writes this blog. And then start to experiment. Tape the heel, or wear thicker socks, or add something in the shoe to reduce friction (engo patches, for example). Do one thing at a time and see if any of them work. If not then try two at a time. And If nothing works, ditch the shoes. The...

    Where to find Engo patches?

    Unfortunately Eula no longer carries the Engo patches. I received an email from their co founder who indicated that Engo patches were now classified a medical device by Health Canada and it was too much hassle for Eula to comply with necessary paperwork ☹️. Will try Amazon.ca or it seems eBay...
