What can i do to prevent blisters on my toes while playing basketball?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimize friction...: ...By wearing good shoes that fit. Wear absorbent socks that decrease moisture. Tape your blister-prone toes before each game; I use duct tape because it's more durable than ordinary cloth tape. Another option is to apply petroleum jelly or talcum power to reduce friction.
