A couple of weeks ago, I got my first blisters from barefooting. I’ve
\nhad a few hotspots before from form issues but have been able to use

This time, I went out at lunch time, after the sun had been baking the
\npavement for a good few hours. Air temp was around 27C (80F).<\/p>\n
The pavement felt pretty warm, but not immediately burning hot. By the
\ntime I left the pavement, around 500m, I had some beauties on the ball
\nof both feet.<\/p>\n
Like a fool, I carried on for the rest of my 5km run, and by time I finished, I was running on little water beds. Silly, but it gave me the opportunity to try a technique I read about on Colin’s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check out his post for the gory details. I’ll probably write it up some time myself, but in the meantime, here are some pictures:<\/p>\n\n I’m happy to report that the results were pretty good. I experienced (so far) none of that problem where the covering skin splits and detaches, leaving raw skin underneath. It might come off eventually, but it seems to have re-adhered to the underlying skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A couple of weeks ago, I got my first blisters from barefooting.
