Blisters from walking

Options
I have a question. I had a blister on the heel of my foot and it made walking uncomfortable, which is weird because I got it from speed walking. I had to drain it in order to walk at work. I figured I would stop for a few days. Being on my feet wasn't horrible. After a few days, I went speed walking again and the blister filled up and was larger than before so I had to drain it again. It's been well over a week and my blister has got larger and has had to be drained a 4th time. You can see how it gets bigger. It looks like the rings of a tree trunk. I don't want to stop speed walking and it doesn't seem to want to heal. Any suggestions? I am really curious as to why it fills back up again!

    I get them on my pinky toes. The blister band-aids work awesome on them...they seem to make a new skin on the blister while it heals!!! I have 5 pairs of sneakers and rotate them between work and the gym and still manage to get blisters in the same spot...only 2 of them are the same brand but different materials. I do wear thick socks too but it doesn't seem to help, only having band-aids on my toes helps. I know that I've lost some weight in the width of my feet and have tightened the laces but I'm not narrow enough to have to buy narrow width shoes.

    Rotating through different shoes helps. It puts pressure of different areas of your feet. So you don't constantly hit that same spot on your foot.
