did a quick search which didnt turn up much. what is the best way to deal with blisters ? i have been popping them and then cutting the dead skin off which is obviously a little sore for a few days so was wondering what better ways there are.

dont know where im going, dont know where ive been, all im doing is running, running to have fun.
If you like pain get some tinc benz, that will sort em :-))
Or surgical spirit, says do not apply to broken skin, ignore that, slap it on then peel yourself from the roof!

sounds good, i like pain thats why i fell run. ill give it a go and let you no the results when im down

Once you've got em sorted keep dabbing the feet with surgical spirit, hardens the skin, and apply vaseline before you run, not had blisters for a while now, not even a hot spot at the Lakeland 50 this year. Finding a shoe that suits you goes a long way as well, trial and error, what's good for one ain't good for another. Good luck Reuben.

yeah know what you mean about the shoes. my racing flats are just slightly narrow which has caused the blisters but got to wait to be paid off a job before i can buy some new shiny ones. may get some nb minimus because all the reviews say they have a nice wide forefoot. plus i dont like built up trainers. thanks for the advice

I don't often get blisters, but occasionally I get one on a heel from my Walshes; and with current ground conditions, Walshes are the only footwear I own (apart from walking boots) that will ensure that I stay upright going through the mud.
Anyway, on today's walk (2 hours 40 minutes, so nothing excessive) a blister formed and burst, leaving me with a tender, red patch nearly 2cm wide (and some loose skin hanging off). I will leave it open to the air as much as possible, to give it the best chance of healing, but I'm sure I will want to put on the Walshes again before it's fully healed. Any recommendations on preventing further damage?

She knows a bit about blisters.
Short walk today, with a Compeed plaster on my heel, but not Walshes (I chose a route where I could just about step around the worst of the mud). Everything felt fine.Originally Posted by Mike T

I use surgical sprit on my feet, applying it liberally with cotton wool, approx twice a week.
Whether it does anything to the skin to prevent blisters, i'm not 100% sure, but it certainly cleans out any little cuts etc, and i practically never suffer with blisters unless breaking in the odd new pair of trainers, or if i get a stone lodged in my shoe mid-race.
