To understand taping to prevent blisters, you should read the book [[Book Review – Fixing Your Feet|Fixing Your Feet]]. This page is my personal experience with taping as an augmentation to that book.
==Tapes==
* '''Micropore<ref> http://www.zombierunner.com/store/categories/foot_care/tapes/product6.html Micropore at Zombie Runner</ref>''' This is my default tape, partly because I have been using Micropore from my earliest memories due to my skin condition. Micropore is very thin, smooth and inflexible, but not very sticky, so you need to use it with an adhesive promoter. The biggest problem with Micropore is that it is not very durable. I find it will last well enough for a race, but I like to tape a day or two ahead of time to make sure the tape is right, and it can suffer wear in the mean time.
