Can you power through foot blisters? Whenever I run I get blisters- and always in the same spot. If I keep running on them will the skin harden or will I just make it worse? should I stop when I feel my feet getting hot?

just let the fuckers harden by themselves. I don't see what people's aversion to blisters are. What the fuck is the point of taking it off?

Don't run when you still HAVE the blisters or they'll just get worse/infected. Wait until they heal, then go back to your running. If you still get blisters, let them heal - again. Eventually your skin'll toughen up and you'll develop calluses. Duct tape is for if you have a marathon or something; it's a short-term solution.

toughen your feet up with some surgical spirit

When you feel a blister coming on you should stop. If you stop before getting a blister, you'll be back on your feet tomorrow or the next day. Get a blister, and who knows how long it will take to heal. Don't run on a blister; you're not doing it any good.

You'll get calluses. You just have to go easier until you do.

Hey, I have previously humped a very long distance with some very large weight on my back with boots. Anyways, I never got blisters until I ordered new boots and tried out some new socks. Shoes that fit wrong, thick socks and moisture, and the terrain are the factors most involved in blisters. When you get one the size of a baseball (not joking here) on the side of your heel that turns purple and swells out a literal inch you start to understand why people cry so much about blisters. Honestly the tiny one on the bottom of my heel was ten times worse and was a quarter the size. Anyways>>425848has the best advice until you figure out the cause. I ran far in new shoes (had to run, didn't have a different pair) and formed large blisters on the run, popped them, and got them infected within eight hours. My feet are prone to athlete's foot (the feet falling the fuck off kind) so it may not affect you so negatively. When I was in the field I would just pop it and wipe it with a baby wipe after draining it to keep it down, I didn't have much of an option. If you can figure out the cause and take it easy; do it. Always clean your feet with some sanitizer/baby wipes/alcohol just to be sure. Any kind of friction with any bit of moisture can cause blisters, so you may want to switch to a different material in your socks (more synthetic) and/or find thinner ones. If you always get it in the same spot I would say the first thing you should do is switch your shoes. I did this and it fixed mine.

I formed and popped them ON the same run to be specific.
