Sterile needle: Drain blisters with a sterile needle by puncturing them . Apply zinc oxide and Bacitracin oint. Sparingly and cover with sterile gauze. Blisters are caused by repetative movement in a moist environment. If they occur on the bottom of the feet you can get an inner sole made of neoprene(ex. Spenco), if they occur on the tips of the toes use the double eyelets on the top of the sneakers.
