[QUOTE="copepod, post: 819674, member: 21372"] Which parts of your feet are affected? The solutions will be different for eg heels, ball of foot, toes etc. Are there intact blisters or are they ripped open? Or merely red skin? When you explain problem areas and exact condition of skin, I'll write a proper reply, as I have lots of experience of treating other people's blisters on long mountain races eg Dragons Back Race 2012 and will be at DBR 2015, Steve Birkinshaw's Wainwright Challenge etc. See [URL]http://www.dragonsbackrace.com/[/URL] [URL]http://stevebirkinshaw-wainwright2014.blogspot.co.uk/[/URL] You should be tapering training now, so there's time to get your feet in better shape by start line of Brighton Marathon. Part of the solution could be changing the way you lace your shoes, the types of socks you wear - perhaps consider socks with toes eg injingi toe socks are the best known brand, come in various thicknesses and length up leg, and probably the easiest to acquire quickly.
