Blisters: Blisters come from shearing forces. Often from wearing shoes that are too loose, where the foot has room to slide back and forth. It can also happen from biomechanical issues related to your individual foot function and abmormalities in gait and function.

Mostly Friction: Pressure from weight and friction can cause blisters. Blisters are wounds beneath the skin caused by rubbing from shoes or socks during activity. Wear thicker socks and make sure your shoes fit properly. Change socks frequently and wear proper shoes for the types of activities you are participating in.
