Hi gang, me again.
I've been hiking for a long time now (just crossed 500 miles, woo hoo! www.gdbdp.com/at (http://www.gdbdp.com/at)) and haven't had any blisters since about the 5th or so hike. Yay boots! Tried out some new boots this week after breaking them in at work, and got a blister... no worries, I'm figuring the boots still need some time with my feet... they were otherwise really comfy.
My question is about moleskin... I've got some moleskin patches I got several years ago. They're small squares with adhesive backs. My dumb question is this: If I've got a blister or a hotspot, do I simply put the adhesive side of the moleskin ON my hotspot/blister? That seems odd to me. Hopefully me and my new boots will soon get along together as well as me and my old boots did and this won't be a problem, but still, this seems like something that would be good to know.
Thanks,
alphaPig
