Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela

what do you mean when you say 'plaster'?
can you explain - it's not a word we use here

Sorrry, this is the term in incorrect German!

Also called moleskin padding: a soft cotton flannel padding that protects feet from painful shoe friction. Here's photo of the US version by Dr. Scholls. Here's a photo:

.

Although the instructions for blisters or broken skin recommend to cut a piece to fit surrounding area, I covered the entire blister every morning before putting on my boots and removed it after showering and draining the blisters. At night, were uncovered or protected by a bandaid.

Each package contains 3 strips 4 5/8" x 3 3/8" that will last at least a week!

Thanks everyone for the good foot advice. I had a terrible time on my last Camino with all sorts of foot problems. This time I have been walking more prior to the start date, plan to walk shorter distances, remove my shoes and air dry often, and I'm using smart wool socks on well broken in shoes! I hope to be a wiser pilgrim in 2008.
