Always try to wear comfortable shoes, as uncomfortable shoes are one of the main reasons behind blisters. So, whenever you buy new shoes, make sure there is a little extra room in the toes and heels. Also, try to avoid shoes with straps. In addition to that, wearing cushioned socks will also help in preventing blisters to form.
