About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Dial in blister prevention by matching socks, footwear fit, and lacing to terrain, load, and conditions. You’ll also review how to spot hot spots early and choose the right on-trail response.

Every question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can think through scenarios like wet crossings, steep descents, or long mileage days.

Common pitfalls hikers run into

Many problems come from waiting too long to treat friction, using the wrong tape on damp skin, or tightening laces in ways that increase pressure points. You’ll learn to avoid “quick fixes” that feel good for five minutes but worsen rubbing later.

Difficulty and settings

Difficulty is mixed: easier items cover fundamentals (fit, sock materials), while harder ones test troubleshooting (lacing patterns, blister types, and prevention tradeoffs). Choose your question count and difficulty before you start to tailor the session to a short refresher or a deeper practice run.

Quick checklist to remember

  • Treat hot spots early: stop, dry, and protect before they become blisters
  • Use sock strategy (liner/outer or single) based on friction and moisture, not habit
  • Adjust lacing for heel lock, toe relief, and downhill control instead of overtightening
  • Keep feet as dry as practical: manage sweat, change socks, and air out on breaks
  • Pick the right protection: tape, blister pads, or lubricant depending on skin and conditions
  • Re-check fit during the day as feet swell and terrain changes
