Stress fractures to any of the bones in the foot are common amongst walkers and soldiers, hence the name a &#8216;march fracture&#8217;.
The most common bones to develop a stress fracture are the metatarsals &#8211; the long bones in the mid foot. The heel bone (the calcaneus) is also sometimes involved, as are some of the [...]]]></description>

Feet blisters are a massive complaint amongst walkers. Everyone can relate to the pain and longstanding discomfort they can cause.
