You're either looking at an improper fit or a breaking in period. Try wearing socks for a while to ease the blister pain. When not wearing boots, allow the blisters to dry out and heal. Ocean water is great for drying out blisters and helping them heal quicker.

Here;s the secret to preventing blisters:\n\nProperly fitted shoes!\nDry Socks!\n\nAnd to treat them?\n\nUse Moleskin to cover the blister.  This prevents further rubbing, which is what caused the blister in the first place. Alternatively, use Molefoam.  Cut it into the shape of a donut, sticking it to your skin around, but not on top of, the blister.  Both are available in the foot care section of most any drugstore.

Did you ever get a blister from a new pair of shoes? Or maybe last fall you raked a lot of leaves and developed a callus on your hand? Or maybe you're a dancer and have noticed painful little bumps called corns on your toes?\n\nBlisters, calluses, and corns can be uncomfortable, but they're also pretty common and easy to prevent. All three happen because of friction - which means that two surfaces rub against each other. In the case of these skin problems, one of the surfaces is your tender skin!\nWhat's a Blister?\n\nA blister is an area of raised skin with a watery liquid inside. Blisters form on hands and feet from rubbing and pressure, but they form a lot more quickly than calluses. You can get blisters on your feet the same day you wear uncomfortable or poor-fitting shoes. You can get blisters on your hands if you forget to wear protective gloves when you're using a hammer, a shovel, or even when you're riding your bike.\n\nAreas on your body that form blisters and continue to be rubbed every day (like your feet because of the same pair of uncomfortable shoes you always wear to school) may go on to form calluses.\nWhat's a Callus?\n\nA callus is an area of thick skin. Calluses form at points where there is a lot of repeated pressure for a long period of time - such as the hours spent raking leaves. The skin hardens from the pressure over time and eventually thickens, forming a hard tough grayish or yellowish surface that may feel bumpy.\n\nCalluses can be a form of protection for the hands. Gymnasts who perform on uneven parallel bars and other apparatus often get calluses on their hands, which take a lot of abuse. Guitar players also get calluses - on their fingers - from manipulating the strings. Once formed, calluses may make it easier for the person to swing around the bars or play the guitar.\n\nCalluses on the feet, however, can be painful because you have to step on them all the time. They usually form on the ball of the foot. (The ball is the roundish part on the bottom of your foot, just behind your big toe.) Some calluses also form on the outside of the big or little toe or the heel. Tight shoes and high heels often cause calluses because they put a lot of pressure on your feet at points that aren't used to all of that stress.\nWhat's a Corn?\n\nLike calluses, corns are also areas of hard, thick skin. They're usually made up of a soft yellow ring of skin around a hard, gray center. They often form on the tops of the toes or in between toes. Like calluses, corns come from pressure or repeated rubbing of the toes. Corns usually develop after wearing shoes that are tight around the toe area.\nHow to Prevent Blisters, Calluses, and Corns\n\nThe best way to deal with blisters, calluses, and corns is to avoid getting them altogether. So how do you do that?\n\nTo avoid getting blisters and calluses on your hands, wear the right kind of gloves or protective gear. For instance, you might use work gloves during yard work or palm protectors called "grips" for gymnastics.\n\nTo keep your feet callus free, choose your shoes wisely. Try to shop for shoes in the afternoon - that's when your feet are their largest. Why? Because they get a little swollen from you walking on them all day! And be sure to try on both shoes and walk around a little bit before buying them. Even if they look really cool, don't get them if they don't feel right. Often, a different size or width can make a big difference.\n\nAnd even if you love a certain pair of shoes in your closet, don't wear them all the time. Mix it up by wearing a variety of shoes. That way, your feet will get a break and won't always be rubbed in the same places.\nCaring for Blisters, Calluses, and Corns\n\nIf any skin problem gets red, inflamed, or looks infected, your mom or dad will want to check with your doctor. But more often blisters, calluses, and corns can be cared for at home.\n\n    * Blisters usually ju

Soft ground boots come with replacable studs (usually 6 per boot).  These studs can be metal or plastic and screw into the bottom of the boot sole.\n\nFirm ground boots come with the studs already molded (usually 13) on the sole of the boot.  They can be small studs or in case of the newer boots nowadays, blades.\n\nUnless you are playing at an elite level, where you are playing on very good grass pitches that are properly maintained and watered, it is probably a waste of time buying '6 studs'.  Best to stick with the molded boots.\n\nKeep in mind too that if you play in a climate where rain is quite frequent (UK, etc.) it might be better to buy the 6 studs as you will be playing the majority of your games in those conditions.\n\nBest solution, if you can afford it, is buy a pair of each.\n\n:)

Washing your boots isn't bad at all.you're more hygienic than my best friend .Hes not washed his since he bought them(3 years ago).But the drying technique does matter a lot!You should preferably leave them in the sun instead of just putting them somewhere around the house.Also,use a toothbrush to clean the studs.Your detergent shouldn't be too harsh,should be something like Surf Excel.Also,during every wash,put a little dettol/savlon/any other medical disinfectant in the detergent solution(2-4 drops) so that your feet dont develop any fungal infections.

Wash with warm water, try and not walk on them too much, if you HAVE to walk on them wear a soft padded shoe and soft socks. Salt water works too.

I walk four miles a day, and I don't have any.  Last time I bought shoes I asked for the most comfortable shoe, and they told me New Balance.  They really are the most comfortable shoe that I own.  Make sure that your shoes aren't too small and that you're not tying them too tight. As far as treating your blood blisters Immediate care:\nLeave the blister alone. Elevate your feet when you're at home in a chair or on a pillow. Apply a cold pack. When pain subsides, apply padding or a splint to protect the injured area.\n\nOngoing care:\nKeep the wound clean, dry, and protected from chafing and bumping. Change the dressing every day, or whenever it accidentally gets dirty. After two days, you can resume washing (but always put a dry bandage on afterwards). When the wound looks like normal skin and feels like normal skin you can stop bandaging. Expect about 7 to 14 days for healing. The old skin can be snipped\noff when you're sure the area is healed.\n\nWatch for:\nSee the doctor if there is redness around the wound, red streaks, swelling, drainage, fever, tender bumps in the groin or armpit upsteam from the wound, or an unexplained increase in pain or tenderness.

I've done this.  There used to be a thing about not wearing open-toed shoes in the winter, but now everyone does it.\n\nSince it's winter, you'll want to wear hose/nylons.

Sounds like it might be plantar fascitis. I had that. It's an inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot. I ended up getting inserts for my shoes and had to do stretching and strengthening exercises. And don't climb round rung ladders!

Hi, I had the same problem before. Use heel cushions with your shoes. You will have a relief for sure.\nGood luck!

You just cant walk on your feet anymore without protection. Dont wear binding shoes. Wear loose, air flowing shoes to dry those suckers out! I think you should just see the Doc. because if it is worst case scenerio, then you might have a reaccurring infection that can lead to other problems. Dont pop em, because if they are the size of quarters, it'll hurt like hell! They do prescribe ointments that dry out the skin, relieve pain. I d go for the flip flops and try not to pressure your blisters. Sounds painful, but I hope your pain free!

You have to completely strip the polish, wash the outside of the boot with saddle soap with a soft bristle brush, Then you spray in inside of the boot with Lysol, Put in a Odor eater foot pad, Finally when you are NOT wearing them you put a cedar shoe tree. That will help with the odor, and absorb the moisture of wearing them.

Sweat and moisture collect near the toes, and with no space to escape, they are sucked by the tender underfoot skin.\n\nThese develop into blisters, and may progress to infection.\n\nDaily wear fresh socks. Avoid the Nylon types, cotton or cotton blended are the best. Use talcum or anti pespiration dusting powder before you out the shoes on.\n\nDry & air the shoes. Keep in sunlight for the stale sweat to be evaporated. Dust the insides of the shoes with taclum powder, and when not in use for some time, put moth balls inside to avoid fungus formation. And never use rubber/plastic insoles.\n\nI wear leather shoes for more than 14 hours a day since last 25 years, and this tried & trusted method has never let me down.
