I tend to use Cream E45 on my hands. This keeps them soft and although
calluses build up, they tend to be soft and pliable so I don't get
further blisters underneath. My big problem tends to be when I
suddenly have to sweep row as I'm normally a sculler - not a lot I can
do about the blisters then.

I never had problems with my feet despite running two marathons
(except when I forgot to keep my toenails short). As with rowing, it
seems the best thing to do is to regularly perform an activity up to
the point where the skin has started to rub, but before you get a
blister. This seems to keep the skin hard, but not callused or cracked.
