🦶 Bunions + blisters? Think low bulk. Bunion edge = optimise width + ENGO 2-patch technique. Big toe edge = ENGO on insole or gel toe sleeve. Between or tops of toes = gel sleeve or see your podiatrist for something customised. Match the prevention to the site. #BlisterPod

👟 "Just break them in." If a shoe needs breaking in, the fit is probably wrong. Kids' feet grow fast. Too big = sliding. Too small = compression. Neither fixes itself. Check the fit. Check the blister location. Fix the cause. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #SchoolShoes

🦄 17 blister myths busted. Reducing friction = reducing rubbing? Nope. Lower friction means earlier sliding. Hydrocolloids prevent blisters? No. They’re dressings for deroofed blisters. 14 more on the blog. Link in bio. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #MythBusted #Podiatry

🚶 Walker. “Back-of-heel” blisters. Tried everything. Assessment: not posterior heel. Posterior heel edge. Cause: curved, rough insole heel cup concentrating shear. Fix: flat Spenco Rx Comfort insole + ENGO patch in shoe + slightly shorter stride. #BlisterPod #Telehealth

👧 Kids won't tell you their heel hurts until the blister is there. Growing feet + sport shoes + running and jumping = heel blisters. ENGO Heel Patches are the immediate and long term fix. Get ahead of it before the first game. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #KidsSport

✅ ENGO application tips: Clean surface. Place where the blister forms (trim if needed). Press 30 secs. Wear for next 30 mins. Don't forget the other shoe. Simple steps, big difference. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #ENGO #HowTo #FootCare #FootHealth #ComfortFirst #HealthyFeet

🏐 Netball forefoot blisters: hard court + grippy shoes + sudden stops/pivots = high shear under the met heads. Try an ENGO Patch on a 3mm Spenco insole, +/- pressure deflective felt padding. #BlisterPrevention #Netball #SportsBlisters #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #Netball

🔨 Work boots don't have to blister you. Steel caps, stiff leather, long shifts - it doesn't matter. Blisters are optional, 1. For example: ENGO Patch on the heel lining; gel toe protector to protect from the steel toe cap. Pure relief. Stop toughing it out. #BlisterPod #FootCare

Callus protects against abrasion. Not blisters. Blisters are caused by shear, not surface wear. Thick, rigid skin can actually make shear worse. Callus at a blister site = evidence of a blister-susceptible area, not the solution. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #MythBusted

Tried everything and still blistering in the same spot? Some blisters need more than generic advice. A 25-minute telehealth consultation. I assess the shear pattern and build a personalised prevention plan. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #Telehealth

Your blister kit has tape, probably moleskin, and maybe some antiseptic. The Advanced Blister Kit has ENGO Patches, gel toe sleeves, adhesive felt, sterile scalpel blades, tape, antiseptic and more. Treatment AND prevention in one compact bag. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention

Blisters don't form when things slide. They form when everything sticks. Static friction locks the skin while bones move underneath. Shear peaks. Once sliding starts, shear drops. The sticking phase is the danger zone. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #StaticFriction #FootPain

A dressing on a blister is first aid. Not treatment. The blister keeps hurting because the shear still happening. Meaningful treatment = first aid + prevention. Reduce the shear. That's what does the heavy lifting for pain relief and healing rate. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention

“Just pop it and get on with it.” I hear this all the time. Draining may be appropriate sometimes, but popping a blister doesn’t address why it formed. That’s what needs managing if you want less pain now and fewer repeat blisters later. #BlisterPrevention #BlisterTreatment

Volunteering at athletic events? 95-100% of your time = blisters. The biggest impact isn't at the finish line. It's pre-event education. Read the full blog → pro.blister-prevention.com/b… #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #AthleticFootCare #SportsPodiaty

Blisters don’t all come in one size, so neither do BlisterPod Hydrocolloid Blister Plasters. Available in 3 sizes: Small, Medium & Large. And 4 pack options: S, M, L & Mixed. Individually wrapped, sterile, with fixation tape included. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention

Friction isn’t the enemy. Without it, you’d slip with every step. It gives you grip, traction and propulsion. The problem is when friction locks the skin surface in place while the bones keep moving underneath. #Friction #Grip #Traction #Propulsion #Movement #Biomechanics

Tight shoes cause blisters? Then why do loose shoes blister just as much? Because it's not always about fit. But it's always about shear: bone movement under your skin. The shoe isn't the cause. #BlisterPod #BlisterPrevention #MythBusted #FootCare #Podiatry #FootHealth #ShoeFit
