Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer
I picked this up after suffering through several blister bouts from my mountaineering boots (including one particularly painful one in the Tetons where the ENTIRE back of my heels peeled off). I had already changed out the insoles but still had blistered heels. The package says that it helps prevent and treat blisters. I bought it for the prevention end. Instantly, after application, my boots felt better. I spent an 8 hour day in the Wasatch making a spectacular loop below the Pfeifferhorn through Maybird and Red Pine gulches. After returning to the car I discovered the adhesive pads had sluffed off my heels, leaving my skin unprotected resulting in more blisters. The moist pads are great, but the adhesive pads would gain a great deal with stronger glues to keep them in place. Next time I'll use the Moist pads in conjunction with Band Aid Tough Strips!
