Blisters form when friction, heat, and moisture combine—making summer the peak blister season.
Common Causes of Blisters in Hot Weather
- New or stiff sandals
- Bare feet rubbing on shoes
- Heat-related sweating
- Increased walking on holidays
- Ill-fitting footwear
How to Prevent Blisters
- Choose sandals with soft straps and cushioned footbeds
- Break in new shoes gradually
- Apply blister pads or tape areas that rub
- Keep feet dry with antiperspirants or powders
A podiatrist can assess your foot mechanics and recommend orthotics or padding for recurrent blister areas.
