Category: Blister Activities

Blisters from Cycling

Not an obvious sport that you would associate with foot blisters but yes, cyclists, although they are technically, a non-weight-bearing sport, do get affected by blisters!

Blisters from Windsurfing & Watersports

This is an interesting one as you would think that waters sports would be exempt from blisters and to a large extent that is true.

Blisters from Dance Shoes & Dancing

Dancer’s feet are by far the hardest working feet that podiatrists see, mainly because for most dancers it is an occupation not just a leisure activity.

Blister Management for Triathletes

These are three very different sports it is hard for the body and feet to adapt to all three activities in one go to prevent blisters and other injuries

Blisters from Ice Skating, Hockey and Roller Skating

Ice staking looks so elegant and easy but I know it isn’t but I can really appreciate those guys who make it look effortless, that takes a lot of hard work.

Foot Blisters in Tennis & Court Sports

These activities are grouped together as the body movements of these sports are very similar, the body action of twisting, turning accelerating and decelerating quickly

Blisters in Football Boots and Field Sports

All of these sports have similar body actions of stop-starting, twisting, sideways slipping and accelerating and decelerating very quickly.

Blisters from Running & Marathons

What is the right running shoe to wear, it depends on the type of running you do!

Blisters from Hiking Boots & Walking

Blisters from hiking boots and walking are the most common that we see.

Tough Mudder, Spartan and other endurance events

I’m sure there will be some discussions over which of these two events are the most difficult to complete but I shall leave that to the purists! The effect on the feet is the same for both.

Climbing and Mountaineering

Preventing blisters is the most important thought to take away from these top tips, whilst preparing for any activity please make sure this small check list is followed

Blisters From Horseriding

This is probably another sport, like cycling that you wouldn’t expect to get foot blisters but they happen too and usually at the back of the heel which is boot related.

Blisters from Ski Boots & Snow Sports

Getting blisters from ski boots and snow sports can ruin your day. Skiers control their speed on a straight run by putting more weight on one ski than the other
