Abstract in brief
Friction blisters commonly affect active individuals during activities like running and hiking, but their exact causes are not well understood.
The traditional belief attributes blister formation to heat, moisture, and friction, while the real culprit is repetitive shear deformation involving bone motion, high friction forces, and repeated shear events.
This article aims to challenge traditional views on blister formation and present a new perspective on its causes and prevention.

Rubbing doesn’t cause friction blisters—it can actually prevent them! The real culprit is what’s happening under the skin surface. It’s called shear deformation and it is triggered by the movement of foot bones!
