United StatesGreat, pair with Coverroll tape
I recommend first applying a layer of coverroll tape, this will prevent irritation or allergy from the leukotape adhesive.

I love Leukotape for preventing blisters. Like others have mentioned, have scissors/knife or pre-cut strips at hand--tearing it is impossible. I am, however, allergic to it. I have no prior known allergies to adhesives or tape. I am so allergic to it that I had to go to urgent care twice for steroid cream and tablets after getting hives, blisters, innnnnnnntense itchiness, and raised redness in the exact shape of the tape. This was after a backpacking trip where I immediately removed the tape and remaining adhesive after leaving the trail. It lasted almost a month before resolving. I had zero blisters, though! :D I'm definitely in the minority for this allergy, but I wanted to let people know that testing a small piece of this on your skin is a good idea before committing to a full foot installation for a hike/trip. You can also use cover tape underneath it (my PT friend recommends this anyway) to make it easier to get off and nicer to your skin.
Leukotape on Mt Fuji
Hiking Mt Fuji I could feel a possible blister starting to form. I stopped and put a precut strip of Leukotape over the tender area and completed the hike blister free! For reference, we took 12 hours to hike up and down Mt Fuji in one day. Very important to precut strips with a scissors before your hike as it’s impossible to tear off a piece from the roll. I precut a bunch of different lengths and put them in a ziplock bag in my backpack. Well worth the price!
