I have walked my little socks off this past week, walking on 7 consecutive days for a good 4 - 5 hours and I have remained blister free!! This is the first time that over such a period that no blisters have appeared and the secret? It appears putting anti-perspirant on your feet does actually work. Not being a fan of aerosols I used a stick of antiperspirant (and deodorant)and smeared over my feet and toes before putting on my socks and voila - no blisters plus the bonus of sweet smelling feet!
I am on clould nine because also for the first time in 3 months my knee has been pain free even with all the walking. The medial ligament appears to have healed itself - to walk with no pain is just unbelievable - perhaps after all age is not catching up with me!
