Summary:
If you´re a serious runner, you´ve probably experienced the discomfort of foot blisters. Here are five ways to prevent blisters from running.

Details or Sample:
If you’re a serious runner, you’ve probably been subject to painful blisters on the feet, particularly when you change to a new pair of running shoes. Foot blisters can be quite painful, not to mention the negative impact they can have on your running performance. Blisters from running usually form due to the friction of the shoe against the delicate skin on your feet. The result is the appearance of a fluid filled bump that can give rise to a great deal of pain and discomfort. Foot blisters usually resolve on their own over time and generally don’t require extensive treatment other than protecting the area from friction. To save yourself from discomfort, learn how to prevent blisters from forming in the first place. Here’s how:

Prevent blisters from running: Select shoes that fit.

The most frequent cause of foot blisters associated with running are from shoes that fit improperly. Shoes that are too tight and narrow cause friction which promotes blister formation. Shoes that are too loose can also contribute to the formation of foot blisters. When selecting a running shoe, keep about a half inch between your longest toe and the tip of the shoe. When you buy running shoes, have them carefully fitted by a professional at an athletic shoe store. Walk around in them and even run on a treadmill in the store until you’re satisfied you have a good fit. Avoid buying running shoes online when you can’t try them on.

Prevent blisters from running: Keep feet dry.

If you’re prone to blister formation, it’s important to keep your feet as dry as possible. Always change into a pair of dry socks before running and sprinkle your feet with absorbent foot powder as an extra precaution. Avoid running through puddles where your feet can become damp.

Prevent blisters from running: Wear the right socks.

Choose socks made of synthetic material that have the ability to wick moisture away from the surface of the skin. These can be found at most sporting goods stores and are well worth the investment. Cotton socks don’t work well as they tend to retain moisture. Don’t forget to change your socks on a regular basis.

Prevent blisters from running: Lubricate your feet.

Lubricate your feet generously with lanolin on the evening before running. This works
