@urbansportsatskl Not usually as it is rare to get blisters on the middle ones as they don’t rub on the shoes so much. But you can if you need to
The only shoes I do not have blisters from are barefoot ones that are a size bigger.
Thank you for the tip. I have used your technique and it works fantastic. Thanks again.
yeah this ain’t gonna help with all the kids having Van’s blisters
IM A FOOTBALL PLAYER & MY FEET HURTS ME SO MUCH EVRYTIM I PLAY DAM IT
I’ve had blister like the ones in the photo from my military boots. It is horribly painful.
This is bullshit that this is even a thing. Incompetent manufacturers.
You are in luck! I found a fool proof solution no matter what your problem. Cloth rock climbing tape…I prefer Metolius brand because it tears easily. It is really sticky and cloth tape breathes so you don’t sweat off the tape. The tape won’t even come off the ball of your feet. Moleskin doesn’t work or anything else you have tried and if you think maybe you have a better solution you don’t. This advice will change your world! Please listen…I would not make such a claim if it didn’t work every single time…whether you have a blister already or don’t want to get one. Best wishes to you!
Hello! It seems good but how about stains or oil transfer to the actual shoes? Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the product… ❤
Fantastic advice sir! Thank you so much for sharing! Going to follow along on your journey! Would you mind giving me some feedback too? I’d love to hear your thoughts on my content. That way I can learn how to become a better content creator myself:)! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Will this still work if you’re running through waterand your feet get soaked?
Thank you for the video and the article! Any ideas on how to tape for matial arts where you exercise bare foot and need at least a bit of grip on the ball? My particular problem si taping the big toe and the part of the ball under it
I wear steel toe work boots daily and gotta say it’s the foot wear. Loose fitting boots or shoes cause it. I get horrible blisters depending on what boots I buy for the year. Thick socks always do the trick go for wool.
Blisters on the balls of my feet are a recurring problem if/when I walk more than 5-6 km without rest or if I repeat same over 2+ days. What can I do regarding footwear, socks, lubricants etc, to avoid or prevent having to tape the ball of my foot?
When you watch this Celebrity Dr. You can’t take him too serious! I don’t think he fully understands!!!!
I run on the balls of my feet and don’t allow my heels to touch the ground. This leads to lots of blistering around the balls of my feet. I’ll have to try this next time I go for a jog. Thanks for sharing!
Loved it, informative and I am using this technique for my hike tomorrow
This doesn’t work if you have leather boots where the zipper is at the back:’)
it doesnt work!:((((((((( i wore every different kind of sock and i did that runners loop method. these running nikes i bought were a complete waste. ugh!
I made a 100 Km walk a few days ago and my feet ended soared; if I would know this before it would not happened.
My first five star Saturday video! This series will NEVER be sponsored ��
I am so ghetto sometimes. I’ve been using duct tape and mole skin.
