First, as much as I advocate the use of Leukotape for blister prevention and maintenance, it is not my choice of tapes for sandal-packing. Leukotape is a soft, pliable tape with a wicking surface. Thus, when it becomes exposed to nature's grit and grime (as it will, when unprotected by shoes and socks), it becomes a sticky, gooey, ugly mess. The alternative is a tape that is smooth with a washable surface. The obvious answer? Duct tape!Duct tape's key limitation is the lack of stickiness of its edges when applied directly to the surface of the skin. As with Leukotape, this limitation is easily resolved by applying compound tincture of benzoin to the skin surface prior to application of the tape, and by rounding the corners of the duct tape patch to minimize peeling.The final piece of the foot taping puzzle for sandal-packers is the use of a lubricating agent on the outside surface of the tape. While this increases the potential for the tape to get grimy via the absorption of dirt throughout the day, it's a grime that's easily washed off the slippery surface of duct tape at day's end.
