Let your Feet Lead the Way to Hiking Heaven

The British Isles is a fantastic place to live. We’re fortunate to have gorgeous countryside from Cornwall to Cumbria and totally stunning scenery from the Highlands of Scotland to the Welsh Brecon Beacons and the Peak District. It’s no wonder we Brits love getting our hiking boots on and getting out and about. But what can you do to keep your feet smiling and avoid your serene and uplifting walk turning into a painful disaster?

The Good…

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a hiking guru or simply love to venture out into the countryside with friends or family. Just to be outdoors surrounded by nature and beautiful surroundings is both enjoyable and good for you.

The Bad…

There are, of course, one or two downsides—don’t mention the rain, especially when we all know only too well that it’s your feet that does most of the work. But don’t let sore feet tell you what not to do. Of course, it’s important to know that the footwear you choose to step out in is not only comfy but reliably waterproof too. However, even splurging on the best walking boots doesn’t always mean you’re feet are exempt from problems.

And the Ugly…

Ultimately, looking after your feet keeps you and your tootsies in a happy place, and if you’re ill-prepared on long hikes, it can result in misery and pain. You don’t want your love of nature and the outdoors to be ruined by sore or painful feet. With blisters being particularly common with hikers, ignoring them can quickly turn them into ugly, painful sores that, left untreated, may become infected.

Healthy Feet, Happy Hiking! Walkers Foot Cream

Don’t panic Mr Mainwaring! Balmy Fox are here to put your feet on the right path. By simply introducing some basic steps into your routine can help avoid these annoying and painful flare ups. Applying moleskin to tender or target areas that you know maybe prone to blistering is a good place to start and is particularly helpful in preventing blisters from appearing in the first place. However, we’d still always advise going prepared for blisters… just in case.

Investing in an excellent moisturising repair cream is also vital to maintain skin health, especially when it comes to your feet and hands. Balmy Fox does a super-efficient repair cream specifically targeted to these areas—although you can use it just about anywhere. Our ‘On the Trail’ Hand & Foot Repair Cream is a marvellously moisturising natural remedy that helpfully contains Arnica to relieve inflammation and Tea Tree for its natural antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. Containing 80% organic ingredients, applying the skin repairing cream before starting off, during and post-hike not only keeps your skin moisturised but will help with any inflammation and healing too. Job done! And this can only be good news as it means you’ll be back out walking again in no time with not even a whimper of blister hell in sight!

So, What is the Ultimate Hiking Kit?

Balmy Fox for sports and outdoor skincare has put their heads (and feet) together with their crucial list of what you should pack in your hiking or walking kit:

  • A first aid kit with essential items such as blister plasters and alcohol wipes
  • Ibuprofen to alleviate pain and swelling
  • Extra socks
  • Moleskin tape to prevent blisters from appearing
  • Balmy Fox 'On the Trail' Hand & Foot Cream
  • Balmy Fox 'On the Trail' Lip Balm
  • Chafe Cream
  • And don’t forget the water, sunscreen and deliciously energy boosting snacks!

And Don't forget the other Exposed Parts!

Whilst our feet may do all the walking, it’s essential not to forget about the other exposed body parts. The British weather can sometimes be harsh and varied, whether it’s scorching sun or driving wind and rain. The great news is that our ‘On the Trail’ Hand & Foot Repair Cream does what it says on the tin and will take care of your hands just as it does for your feet—a two-in-one to keep money in your pocket and more space in your kit! But don’t forget about those lips, which can be the first part of your body to dry out, especially in windy conditions. However, with Balmy Fox’s deliciously moisturising lip balm packed in your kit, the word ‘chapped’ won’t ever cross your lips! Lovingly created to soften lips after just one application, our natural outdoor Lip Balm will aid in repairing dry, cracked lips, as well as providing hours of moisturisation. So, take it from us, inviting Balmy Fox on your travels can only mean healthy skin, happy feet and a friendly smile!
