You can use duck tape in the same way as you use mole skin. Both as a
treatment and as a preventive. Some swear duck tape is better. It may be
because it sticks more effectively and it is thinner, so the shoe won't rub
it loose as easily.

This advice is from 2004 Philmont Ranger Creighton "Bubba" Welch:

Wake up early.

Leave camp early.

Sleep in at least one morning; a morning when the hike is short and easy.

Though tired, take all the side hikes and participate in all the activities
you can, it's only 10 days and you have a lifetime to sleep at home.

Though the food will be "different," eat it, all. The more you eat and
drink, the better you'll feel and the more you'll get to use the red roof.

Human sump, all the way.

Duct tape your feet, you won't get blisters.

Keep a journal. If it means leaving something else out of your pack, do it.
You don't really need a pillow anyways.

Enjoy.
