[QUOTE="scottpt, post: 1465055, member: 84217"] Sounds to me like your forefoot is sliding around in your boot. Treatment of blisters is one matter ... preventing them from forming is another. I'm talking about prevention. In your case I'd probably take the boots you have and add a piece of felt under the tongue and laces so when you tighten things down they create a buttress on top of your forefoot so it can't slide forward and backward in the boot every time you heel strike and push off. The location of these blisters is also very common for those having a cavus foot type or (high arches). High arched feet tend to be very rigid and inflexible creating pressure points on the contact surfaces ... i.e. the metatarsal heads and your great toe. Treatment of these afterwards I'd try a layer of 2nd skin gel (made by Spenko) covered up and held in place by a waterproof bandaid. Good luck!!! [/QUOTE]
