Can't see him keeping the footwear on, he's like a greyhound on P, the sleekest lab I've ever seen. I used to use the meths on my hands when I was rowing and kayaking and it worked great to dry out the surface and form tough callouses once the blisters were sealed. I could fit the old 20c coin inside the blister hole on my right hand with the callouses around it above the sides of the coin. Probably preferable to the other stuff I used. Salt water swims helped the healing.
