Thank you for this helpful video! I learned so much!

It’s a shame this video doesn’t have a lot more views. Every ultra runner should be watching this and reading “Fixing your Feet.” I’ve been dealing with an annoying heel edge blister under the light callus of my left foot, and the tips and techniques I have learned have been invaluable! Thanks so much for putting this out there!

Yep

I need to run and have a painful blister on the side of left big toe by the joint. I went ahead and popped it two days ago with a needle and then put a Band-Aid over it and then cushioning over that but by a mile three I could feel it rubbing and hurting really badly now I have that blister plus the red raw around that blister and then two small blisters. I want to pop but afraid of infection.

They key to pain relif isn't popping the blister, it's negating the blister-causing forces. Here's what you need to know:
