- Q I frequently suffer from blisters on my feet after a run. Are there any socks that could help prevent blisters?
- A Blisters are caused by chafing between the skin and another surface - for example the socks. It is important to identify whether the socks are the problem or whether ill-fitting shoes are the cause. If your socks are responsible for the problem, you should look to wear seamless socks made from man-made fibres that will help transport moisture away from your feet, thereby keeping them dry. You could also consider wearing dual-layer-type socks, which contain two separate layers and are like wearing two very thin pairs of socks. Using dual-layer socks can help to alleviate the problem of blisters.
