We got our itinerary today and one of the tips was this:


anti-perspirant sprayed on your feet is known to prevent blisters.

LOL I've heard it, but when I heard it it was something along the lines of 'the Army tells its' troops to use stick deoderant on their feet before long marches'. My husband, a Marine, laughed and said he had never heard of that.

I had heard about the white stick deodorant (solid), too. I think it was on an All Ears newsletter. Haven't tried it.

Well I dont know if it works or not, but, we just went for 8 days( July 8-16) and we never got blisters. I wore my airwalk flip flops, tennis shoes or my "ugly" shoes (also airwalks but Teva has them) and I never got blisters once or even started to.

My deal was that I worried too much about stuff that I didnt need to, this for me would be one more thing that just wasnt neccessary.

Just my opinion.

Well, I'll be the first to admit that I worry about stuff I probably don't need to.
