[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 861598, member: 16334"] Boots are a bad idea when working preload, high tops ingeneral. What you can try to do is wrap or place napkins or spacing between the spot with the blister. I used to play a lot of ice hockey before working here, and my feet are used to abuse. But I would get blisters or ( even worse ) trench foot while working preload, it isnt fun I know. The best you can do is get a comfy pair of walking shoe/ work shoe, non slip, non meshed and low tops. In two days your feet should heal quickly. You can pop the blister. Use a pin, something with a sharp point. Heat ( lighter ) the point until its black, so it sterilizes the pin, wait till it cools off. Take the pin and poke a small hole into the blister and let it leak out. Place a bandaid over the area. When putting your shoes on, feel the area within, does it hurt? Does it feel like it rubs on that spot? If so, take napkins and try to space the area out between the shoe. Keep placing the show back on, lace up and try walking around. If it feels good for the time being, it will work for awhile. If you feel it again, repeat the spacing process. [/QUOTE]
