How to Avoid Blisters When Hiking

This video shows you one boot lacing technique that may prevent you from getting blisters ever again. It's easy and you can do it right now!
Assuming you have a correctly fitting boot, I believe it is the environment within the shoe that determines whether you get blisters or not - in other words it comes down to how you tie the laces and what kind of socks you are wearing - I recommend a wool synthetic blend of very high quality.

The box knot tip for uphill is brilliant.Thanks!

[@hikersam20]

Good tip. If you make another "surgeon's knot" with the final bow loops you end up with a turquiose turtle knot or shoeman's knot. It is more secure, rarely comes loose and yet is easy to untie just like a regular double slipknot.

Want to thank you for the advice - found your video clip after some really bad blistering on my heels; have done two day hikes since without any issues 👍

[@ClaireYang130]

Thanks a lot for the tips:) I will use them on my trip to Zion National Park.

Fantastic im going to try this..going on 8mile hike in portland so i cant wait

[@willmpet]

I worked standing on hard (concrete) surfaces for years and found that just wearing better shoes really helped. Including better tying techniques could help too. Thanks!

[@MrCmon113]

Walk on that concrete barefoot and most of your feet will be blister-proof.

[@davidjacobik5451]

Yes! That looks like the solution to my boots and my blisters and my hill!

[@tommybraas5881]

Thanks for the tips! I can't believe you finished off with tying a granny knot instead of a much stronger loop knot... 😧

[@JP-rr5zg]

You finished it with granny knot at the end. You can tell that by the two rings that tend to line up vertically instead of horizontally. That'll come off anytime. Correct way is left over right then right over left, or the other way around.

This is great for hiking boots, but I have this problem in ankle-level trail shoes as well. Ideas?

[@BluePatch-pc7sx]

Nice thanks, bro

[@jesusistheonlysavior3312]

The best thing to wear 2 layers of wool socks one thin and the other thick and that’s will do the trick,
