Preventing Blisters

Overview

You can help prevent foot blisters by following these tips.

• Wear shoes that fit properly.
  • You should be able to wiggle your toes in your shoes while you are sitting and when you are standing.
  • The inner seams of your shoes should not rub against areas of your feet.
• Stop an activity if you notice an area on your foot is getting sore and red.

  A blister could be starting to form.

• Decrease friction to the skin of your feet.

  Try applying petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline, or tape to areas that are likely to be rubbed by poorly fitting shoes.
