Really boring question…
Who has the hookup on Zinc Oxide tape?? I have reluctantly been paying $5.70 a roll at CVS… I looked online and found some “great deals” until I accounted for shipping. Am I best off buying a lifetime supply and only paying shipping once or does someone have a good source?
I go through more than I’d like. Any runs over 8 miles and I blister horribly. I thought I could train through it and it would callus over. It hasn’t been working out. Massive blisters has derailed runs for over a week. I have also incurred more serious injuries from adjusting form to avoid running on blisters (never again). So for now it appears I will have to tape pre-run.
Thanks in advance.
What is causing your blisters? May be easier to solve that problem.
I have all sorts of issues with my right heel on any runs over 8 miles. Sweat build up starts the chafing. I blame it in the Asics I’m running in right now. Did not have the sweat problem with the previous pair of Saucony.
Right now I am solving the issue by changing to dry socks after 8-10 miles. Longer term fix will be different shoes or socks or both.

Blisters in the same spot regardless of shoe or sock combo. Brooks glycerin 10s. Mizuno wave syonara. And my favorite pearl izumi streak 2. Brooks training day socks…darn tough socks… no difference. I blister on the ball of my foot behind the big toe starting at the crease. If I tape I get no blisters.

Well, I’d say the tape is worth it no matter the cost. Stock up.
