Trying to source a local distributer for US product Blistershield.
2Toms charge a heap for postage so if anyone knows a OZ distributer or a similar quality product would much appreciate a heads up.
Will try Striderm but note it doesnt contain Teflon so wonder if its as good?
cheers!

I know CR Kato used to be a local supplier but had to drop it. Shame cause it is the best product for feet I have found.
I am rationing out my last tub.

No, it's not as good, but it's still ok. I have found that I have to use more of it, to the extent of roughly 2x (approx 2 teaspoons) as much in each sock, but it doesn't make my feet peel like BlisterShield did.
I would buy BlisterSheild over it any day but, as it's definitely the better of the 2.

Thanks to both of you for the speedy response...appreciate it despite the fact its still not looking good for a local distributer it seems.
LBP....so how much of the striderm DO you use in your sox? and does it gets a bit claggy after you have had a long hot sweaty run? I really hate the way some talc based product does that...
I may just suck it up and buy from OS yet!

I use about 2 teaspoons (but not heaped teaspoons) worth in each sock, hold the top of the sock shut then shake the sock around to coat the inside of it well, that way it doesn't all end up in the toe area only, this also stops it getting claggy I think. I have done 8-10 hours at two recent ultras with the same set of socks and the same lot of Striderm, before a change of socks and fresh lot of powder (the change was mostly due to them becomming wet from sweat in the NSW humidity), without any dramas, so I'd at least give it a try
