The Museum of Runners' Foot Care: 6 Exhibits

The Museum of Runners' Foot Care: 6 Exhibits

Every exhibit is a real answer from a real running thread. Most of them even work, for a bit. Exhibit four explains the rest.

Every one of these is a real answer from a real running thread. Most of them even work, for a bit.

Buys four days.

Exhibit 2. Orbital sander, 220 grit

Yes. Really.

Exhibit 3. Produce bag and coconut oil

Exhibit 4. Sacrificial sock

Where the Vaseline went. Look at this one long enough and it explains the others. The balm before bed was always the right idea, but merino wicks, so by midnight it is in the sock and out comes the glue.

The sacrificial drawer

Exhibit 5. Nail clippers

You know what you did.

Exhibit 6. The one that does not get ruined

A sock with a bonded inner face that does not wick. After the run, over whatever you use, keeps the balm on the callus overnight, takes nothing off. Never race in it.
