    when a first post is a recommendation for a product or company, I'm always wary. I'm going to delete the link until the OP convinces me he's not spaming.

    Not sure about the prevention, but when I get blisters I've found that Compeed at least lets me continue running without too much bother. Tried some of the Scholl(?) equivalent before but just found that they fell off too quickly.

    As said I dont think it can be bought in Ireland, was just saying if anyone was using it or that was good product

    US company so dont care if pushed or not I know its a big thing with people suffer from these we all used vasline talc and it works but doesnt feel good this didnt so was just saying I found a good product and would recommend it

    is compeed plaster product as maybe a bit uncomfortable if it was but I havent used it so wont comment,

    It's a second skin type thing, but in appropriate sizes and shapes for blisters and a bit thicker and it stays stuck on very well ... usually.

    You'll often find individual sample in goodie bags after some races.
