Use Zeasorb to powder your feet before a run or hike. Less moisture means less chance of blisters.

The challenges in running include hot spots and blisters on feet; skin irritation and chafing from shorts, shirts, sports bras; skin rubbing against skin; weather conditions with conditions ranging from sun to high humidity, low humidity, wind, rain and cold; and, the condition of your muscles and joints. They have an effect on your comfort, endurance, performance, and when you compete, your timing.
Choose between the small size, convenient for carrying with you on the run, and the larger size, for pre-run application. Or buy both!
