→Taping
To reduce friction, you can use a lubricant on your feet. A powder can act as both a lubricant and a drying agent. I like Hydropel, which lubricates and helps prevent the skin absorbing moisture; it's particularly useful in wet conditions. (See <here>.) Blister Shield powder is Teflon, which I found helps a bit, but tends to form clumps when wet.

== [[Taping ]] ==If you have serious problems, it can help to cover the area with tape. Many people recommend duct tape, but it does not breathe, and the adhesive is not very strong when wet for a protracted period. I have found Micropore with tincture of benzoin, which is an adhesive promoter.
