DC PODIATRIST PROVIDES TIPS TO AVOID BLISTERS AND LOST TOENAILS

If it’s particularly hot, lace your shoes higher to prevent your foot from moving around in your shoe, which can cause too much skin friction. “We often get blisters running downhill because the foot is moving forward in the shoe,” Firestone says.
