Read More Moleskin is the mainstay of all hiker's first-aid kits. Stick some on your foot to prevent blisters from forming, or use it to keep blisters from getting any worse. Moleskin is very durable, and easy to cut with good scissors. Remember to pre-cut your moleskin and then take the "ready-to-use" pieces with you. The only possible minus about moleskin products is that you must apply it to dry skin. However,once on, it is friction and moisture resistant. Most every hiker I know regularly uses it with success.

Read More It is better to prevent blisters than to bandage them. The best prevention is to frequently replace insoles, or when necessary, replace footwear. However, in an emergency situation, Moleskin is a great First Aid to have. Due to repetitive friction and pressure, the thin top fabric of an insole eventually rubs off exposing the rubber foam. When this foam comes into contact with the ball and heel of the foot, discomfort and even painful friction blistering can occur. Even though it is completely opposite of the directions, I found it sensible to stick a full (4 5/8" x 3 3/8") Moleskin strip to both of the dry insoles, than to the sore skin of each foot. (See picture) The reason for this is after a while moisture tends to bunch the Moleskin up when stuck directly to the skin. "When your feet hurts, everything hurts." Iudicium et Error
