Joe Martin gives advice on how to actually make your skin callous faster, by walking barefoot, training till you have hot spots and not using poly liner sock when training so you develop them.
They advise to use lotion often on your feet and extra attention (lotion) to your callouses.
VS
Joe Martin says to use an alcohol bath after marches and spraying your feet with Arrid xx dry durring training to close off the sweat glands and also toughen feet (and dries them out, not moisturizes).
They also talk about using different lubes on your feet for certain portion of training (wet portions).
VS
Joe Martin preaches "keep your feet dry"
moisture+friction causes blisters.
So maybe some of our more experienced members could shed some light on this contradictory statements.
