This irritates the skin, so it reacts by forming pockets of fluid to cushion the irritation. The answer: don't sweat. Put antiperspirant on your feet. Be sure it's antiperspirant, not just deodorant, or you'll have flowery-smelling blisters. I prefer the spray-on kind, although I've had good luck with roll-ons, too. I also prefer a separate bottle for my feet than my underarms, but that's just me. Either way, if you put antiperspirant on your feet they may get tired and sore, but they won't be blistered!
