taekwondomom Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Anyone have any advice on how to avoid blisters?Everyone at the dojang has them this time of year. The hot, sticky weather makes our feet stick to the hardwood floor, so blisters happen. I think we'd all rather have tough feet.Any advice would be appreciated.

bushido_man96 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I have never really had a problem with blisters. However, maybe less spinning would help reduce the problem some.Or, let the blisters callous, and then soon you won't have to worry about them anymore! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasi Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Damp feet are more prone to blistering. Use some cornstarch powder (NOT talc based powder!!) to absorb moisture. Ideally, switch to sandals an hour or more before class so that your feet can air out and dry out from sweating in shoes all day. The powder is an option if you can't switch shoes. You could also use sports tape wrapped around the ball of your foot, but you gotta use the good stuff that sticks really well. The cheapo stuff just won't hold up for use on feet when you're pivoting on the tape. what goes around, comes around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
