      That’s why I prefer bikepacking hahaha. I would have not find it worth it if I ended up like that 😅

      I do some longer day trips, so feel your pain. 

      My only tip is to stop when you feel wear on your feet. I do a cross with two bits of thick tape on the effected skin and more tape on the sock over the area. Usually works, but it’s still a ticking time bomb.

      Wth. Even with wet feet i never had this. And i would walk 10hrs a day. Merino socks, hanwags with extra padded third party soles

      Had similar after hiking Møysalen last year and was simply physically not prepared due to not having enough rest after the travel to it. I took the wrong routes and had poor technique and 13 hours later I was home and my boots had lots of blood inside, then I had to tape my shit up and continue for the next couple weeks.

      As a Dutch person, I hope to avoid this when I’m in Norway in October by treating so called “easy” hikes by locals as a challenging hike.

      I’ve always struggled with blisters in basically any shoes.

      But after I started taping the spots on my feet where I usually get blisters, with kinesiology tape, I’ve had very few issues. The tape has to be water resistant / repellant, so the usually cheaper sportstape that’s just paper, doesn’t work.

      I also highly recommend Darn Tough socks.

      Here is the secret:

      1) A pair of good wool socks. Extra pairs of socks in your backpack, switch as needed. These stay dry on your feet.

      2) A pair of new grocery bags. The sturdy kind you get in Norwegian grocery stores, not the stuff you get in other countries. Check that they are airtight (and therefore waterproof) when you buy them. By default they are, but sometimes you can get unlucky. Bring extras of these, too.

      3) A 2nd pair of socks to hold the bags in place and protect them from the boots. If your boots don’t hold water, these will get wet, but your feet won’t.

      Have a nice hike!
