Vaseline applied before walking can prevent chafing. To prevent blisters: take action early and adjust laces or apply blister plasters.

When you stop in warm weather, take off your boots and air your feet. Additionally, it may be possible to make use of a cold stream.

If your toenails are bruised or blackened after a walk, trim your nails or get better boots.
