I've been doing the mandatory hiking to San Jacinto, Baldy, Wilson, the Santa Anas and putting in lots of milage, but this year, my feet have not handled it as well as last year. I tried to do a boot change earlier in the year and still haven't found the right mix. But, my legs feel great as well as my calves, hips, etc. My biggest problem has been some blisters during the downhills. My boots (both pair) are being worked on at a boot repair currently.
I was told that putting alcohol on your toes will toughen them up, but can dry the skin between your toes, causing other problems. Any thoughts?
Check this pic out below that I found on a search. They are NOT my feet.
