Primary outcomePrimary: Count of Participants With Any Foot Blister in Taped or Untaped Area of the Foot — 106; 30; 81 Participants

Summary

Friction foot blisters are one of the most common and often debilitating complaints of all athletes, and hikers and runners in particular. Blistering rates in the literature of outdoor hikers range from 7%-54%. This study's aim is to build on Pre-TAPED I, and determine whether applying paper tape to the areas of the foot where blisters historically occur in endurance runners can prevent the incidence of friction blisters.
