    If OP still interested...


    I didn't actually read the article myself but apparently there was a news item in the Times this week (Mon Tues or Wed?) about a university researcher who'd established an effective method for preventing blisters just using surgical tape.


    Without having read the detail I'm not sure if that's obvious or not...


    (edit:apologies to grahamgoo. Must have been in Telegraph too.)
  • In terms of prevention try proper running socks as suggested above, or try two pairs with the inner ones made of a wicking material like Coolmax. Dry feet are less likely to blister. I've also heard of people using talc/foot powder or Vaseline at the blister points.
  • Hilly Twin Skin Socks are a god send!
