There are lots of reasons as to why your boots may be causing friction against your feet. Because of this, it is important to take care of your feet and prevent blisters and rubbing from happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feet will get blisters because friction against the soft, inner skin causes heat to release from boots that consistently rub against constricted skin. Some simple ways of fixing this problem are to wear thicker socks, toe caps, insoles, or runners tape. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With such a common problem, there are many ways to fix it and help to alleviate the pain, which makes walking and running in boots much easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes the worst part about getting blisters is that the boots are either too close to the skin or too big, which causes more friction than normal. It can save your feet in the long run, pun intended, if you use thicker socks to protect your skin against the rough material of the boot.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n It may seem like an unnecessary expense to purchase thicker socks, but they will last longer than just regular, department store socks. Thicker socks also help to prevent excess moisture from settling into your boots,<\/strong> which causes more heat and blisters to form over an extended period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Long tube socks<\/strong> will also decrease the chances of getting burns around your ankles and lower calves, which won’t cause problems or complications when running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most shoes and boots are incredibly flat for your feet, which can cause some pain in your arches. An easy way to fix this is to put insoles into your shoes.<\/strong> In the military, you will do lots of running, and breaking in new boots running is never fun. Insoles will help to form to your feet and add cushion to each footstep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gel insoles<\/strong> are the best option for your boots because they stay cooler than regular insoles while also forming to your feet for compression against the ground. If your boots are a little too big for your feet, the insoles will also help to fill up that space<\/strong> so your boots have less of a chance of rubbing against your feet to make blisters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Boots that are too large will cause more problems around your feet and also ankles. Make sure that there isn’t any space to create blisters around your feet or ankles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When boots are too large on your feet, there are more complications than you would think. This includes getting problems with your toes.<\/strong> Your toes can get large blisters, ingrown toenails, or even fallen arches from no support. You will be enduring a lot of running and exercising, so your feet will experience extensive damage if not properly looked out for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A great solution to limiting blisters and ingrown toenails is purchasing a toe cap.<\/strong> The less friction against the toes, the less likely for problems. Toe caps don’t come in a variety of sizes, so they fit most shoes and toes. The length of the cap can be cut down to fit smaller shoes, however, which can be beneficial for tighter boots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Toe caps are designed to eliminate stress to the toes and prevent friction. When running, the toes tend to scrunch and move around a lot when being pushed to the limits. They can be purchased on Amazon and are a fairly cheap investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWear Thicker Socks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
