Blister Causes & Prevention

Although we tend to cover up our feet during the winter months – boot season is quickly approaching, people – that doesn’t mean we should neglect our feet. Plus, when the sun does make a comeback, you’ll want to make sure your feet are ready to be on display again.

Keen to get fit but struggling to maintain motivation? You’re not alone.

Let’s face it—travelling is amazing, but nothing puts a damper on your trip faster than painful blisters. And unfortunately, they’re all too common when you’re on the move. Think about it: long days of walking, unfamiliar terrain, and maybe even new shoes—it’s the perfect recipe for those pesky, painful pustules. Sound familiar?

Nothing ruins a nice big hike like a nasty little blister, and ironically the former is almost always the cause of the latter. There are, however, steps you can take (no pun intended) to minimise the possibility of blisters rearing their ugly heads, as well as treatment you can undertake to ensure an existing blister doesn’t ruin your walk entirely.

The wonderful thing about the great outdoors is that it’s there waiting for you at any time of year, and there’s nothing that can stand in the way of you enjoying it – as long as you are properly equipped and prepared.

Being active is so important for your health, but it can take a toll on your feet. Whether you’re a runner, gym-goer, or hiking enthusiast, your feet are key to powering through workouts and adventures — but they don’t always get the attention they deserve. That’s where we come in. From common foot problems to helpful tips, including our very own foot pain chart to help you spot any issues, your footcare routine is sorted.

Why sit around at home when the days are long and the sun is out? Whether you live surrounded by rolling hills or you’re in the middle of London, there are green areas that you can enjoy for free during the warmer months.

We’ve all done it at least once in our lives: chosen fashion over comfort.

As a relatively low-intensity exercise, walking will always be an excellent first step on any fitness journey – a great way to face the sometimes daunting prospect of getting moving through a gentle yet effective form of exercise that boosts both physical and mental wellbeing.

A hiker’s ear has heard this phrase countless times: “There’s no wrong weather, only wrong clothes.”

Foot care is super important, but if you’ve got sensitive skin, it’s a bit trickier. Your feet deal with a lot—pressure, friction, moisture, and sometimes just being ignored—leading to irritation, blisters, and dryness. For those of you with sensitive feet, finding the right foot care products and routines is crucial to keeping them comfy and healthy.

Anyone who has ever set foot inside a gym will know how daunting it can feel – especially when you’re starting out. Confronted by a landscape of complicated machinery populated with seasoned regulars pumping serious iron, it can be all too easy to feel overwhelmed. In fact, it’s the most normal reaction in the world!
