Long-distance runners and hikers and soldiers on road marches are often told not to change their strides when they get blisters, because when you have 15 or 20 miles left to go, a lopsided hobble can seriously damage your knees and hip and back.
However, based on your comment, that advice is not meant for you. Since you were able to post this, I assume you’re not hopelessly lost in the woods. More importantly you’ve broken your toe. That is not a blister. For god’s sake, get off the damn thing, and get some damn crutches if you haven’t already done so and use them. If you’re not living on a fishing boat or something, you should be able to find some crutches somewhere. In the meantime, limp or hop or crawl to the bathroom or whatever when you need to, but take care of your foot.
Thanks for the reply. I finally got to see a podiatrist on Friday and now I’ve got a shoe that lets me walk with a normal stride because the bottom of the shoe is rounded. So it rolls naturally without me bending my splinted foot.
