Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Toe Caps - Package of 4:

I was a bit skeptical when I bought this product. However, my toes are so blister prone that I was willing to give it a try. In 2006, during a 210 mile hike in JMT; I got 5 blisters on my left foot and 6 blisters on my right foot.

Recently(in 2008), I went back to do a 100 mile section in King Canyon's National Park. I wrapped my most-prone toe(pinky) with J&J tape and snugged in this cap. For other toes except my big toes; I applied some Vaseline and snugged in these caps as well. After several days of hike, I had a hot spot developed on my pinky toe but other toes remained well - no blisters :)

One drawback is; it won't fit MOST big toes. Mine don't fit - but I don't get blisters on my big toes. I will definitely buy them again in the future. Well worth the investment for my blister-free quest....

They turn brown quickly though; to prevent any bacterias and germs from growing in there; I applied some Neosporine to kill them. Also, they do retain moisture so I take them off several times a day when I take a break. Nothing is perfect I guess but instead of getting 11 blisters; I got none this time :)
