As we all know, proper foot care is the difference between a fun outdoors hike and a painful nightmare. I've been using a new athletic tape (new to me) to prevent hotspots/blisters for a about a year now and it works better than anything I've tried (duct tape, spenco adhesive knit, etc). Its called Leukotape P. Its pricey but a roll lasts a long time. No affiliation with the company or anything. Just wanted to share it with you guys as I learned about foot care the hard way. Lots and lots of blisters.
