[pct-l] Foot care secrets in the desert

[eyakel at earthlink.net (Eric Yakel)]

When my feet start getting hot and feel a little bit swollen I stop at least
every hour and take off both shoes and socks.  I let them cool off for 5-10
minutes.  This seems to work wonders.

> Anyone have any nifty secrets they'd be willing to share?  The basics
being a given, of course:  treat hot spots immediately, use moleskin
liberally, and make sure that shoes/boots fit perfectly.  Anyone have any
problems with new insoles causing blisters or anything else that really
surprised them in the desert segment?
