Moleskin: In areas of pressure, try using moleskin a soft sueded covering with one side adhesive, this may help. Consider the type and fit of shoe wear as improper fit or inappropriate shoe/boot type may be the source of irritation. Good luck.

Blisters: With any hiking, walking or running, blisters are common. This is due to repetitive friction and sometimes overuse. There are many excellent products I recommend that can help guard the areas of concern and tips that help to prevent injury. Take care and enjoy the outdoors!
