HELPS PREVENT BLISTERS AND HOT SPOTS BEFORE THEY START A study funded by the National Institute of Health demonstrated this new technology to be significantly more effective at reducing friction than ten other commonly used products. Temple University School of Podiatry performed a study involving 100 subjects who walked 20 miles in warm rainy conditions. These walkers developed 5 times more blisters in areas not protected by the Blist-O-Ban. Field-tests involving special operations soldiers and competitive athletes also confirmed these laboratory studies.
