<DIV><FONT size=2>Marcia's tried and proven way of preventing blisters is to rub
anti-fungal on your feet a couple times a day. We like to vary brands to
get different fungal treatments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The anti-fungals have 2 benefits we have noticed -
First they have some pain killing function that just makes the feet
feel better really quick; Second they toughen the skin after a couple of
days of use. It must be hard to form blisters on cardboard-like skin. A side
effect of the tough skin is that you need to be careful of splitting heal skin.
I don't have that problem, but Marcia does.</FONT></DIV>

I am soliciting information regarding hiking shoes/boots. I know
everyones feet are different and I thought I had found a good hiking shoe in
the Invo 8 flyrock 310 but blisters galore! Blisters on the bottom of
my feet (both). So any advise or recommendations would be
helpful. I am now looking at the Montrail Hardrock or different
inserts?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Dan<BR><BR><BR><BR>
