I've found some blister prevention patches that I'm definitely going to buy called ENGO. They are supposed to prevent blisters by preventing friction from rising to blister-causing levels. They also give immediate relief of blister pain for those that already have a blister. And they're supposed to be long lasting-lasting 4-6 weeks. All you do is select a patch based on the area you need covered, peel ENGO from it's backing and apply the adhesive side t dry footwear, socks, insoles or equipment. These are a definite must have for this October!

These little (or big) guys were what caused me the most pain on the 3-Day last year. I had like 5-6 blisters on each foot by the beginning of the 3rd day. And they HURT! I had two on each pinky toe: one on the tip of the toe and one on the bottom. And when they finally burst (while I was walking on the 3rd day) it felt like my toenails were coming completely off. So, I'm going to try to prevent blisters from happening again this October during the 3-Day but I've also been reading up alot on Foot Pain Relief. Hoping to not get blisters this year like I did last year.
