The sad part is that I would choose open sores and hairy legs over you.

Where is @Austin.Was.My.Hero ?

I tried giving up, educating the ignorant on footwear.
Here we go again....

Blisters are caused by friction, which means improper fitting shoes.
Try wearing an extra pair of socks or add an insert so you can tighten up the laces, so your foot does not move around. Get your foot snug in the insole and try loosening up the laces towards the top of the boot where rubbing and leaving the sore spots.

Sounds like great news for me.... and Rowdy too! No ride in the creepy, stalker van with a chloroform rag over my face......bonus!!

Forget new skin.

I use super glue, no sting!

Wrap your ankle with a maxi pad.

So, I know that everyone here was terribly concerned about my oozing sores (lol), but I took a lot of suggestions from here; getting low top boots, using thick socks and wrapping up in gauze, and I'm happy to say that I'm able to work again and the sores are no longer oozing

Thank you for the helpful suggestions and the funny comments to boot! Maybe one day I'll be able to shave again … lol!

 

[UnconTROLLed]

lol ^^

Peak 2011 I worked 14 hours in newer boots, my feet were never so torn up. Blood everywhere, a mess. These were not "new" boots, infact I wore them all week @ 8-12 hours. The difference was that I delievered 80 stops in a rural, very hilly area that Thursday, as an emergency FT air driver. I have never climbed so many damn hills and had my legs hurt so much, nevermind feet. the boots were broken in but, on that day, NOT for that terrain and duration.

Wrapped feet, lots of nsaid and wore old boots next day.

I got to this thread kind of late. I think you just need to give your feet a rest, like you have been. Take a load off every chance you get when you're at home.

So below is one of the wounds I'm dealing with. Please stop calling me a wuss. I've tried bandaids with moleskin on top, these still got worse. Any suggestions in light of this?View attachment 63228

I'm not going to waste my time shaving in the winter!

 

[Brownslave688]

Wow how did I miss this thread? @TLady send me your address. I'll take up a collection for the razors and tampons you so sorely need.

Maybe that's why you are not married.
