Hey Everyone,

So lately I have been picking up running again, but I notice that my feet have been sliding a bit in my shoes and I keep getting hot spots/blisters on the inside (medial) part of both feet. Are there any inserts/modifications I can make to help with this? My shoes are Saucony's I got at a running store, the treads on the bottom are not that worn out, and I can't afford a new pair right now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    if your feet are sliding around there are a number of different techniques for lacing your shoes to help mitigate or alleviate the problem. do a quick google search for tying running shoes and you can find some easy solutions to better hold your foot in place. Its hard to recommend an insert or a new shoe without knowing your foot type and running gate/pronation.

    Edit: Also proper lacing is more likely to solve the problem than an insert anyway

    Try to find a running store near you that can fit your shoes and assess your gait. There is a store near me that does this and even watches with a slow motion camera as you walk to help find the right shoe. You may not need new shoes but the information would be helpful to know if you are in the right type to begin with. Good LUCK cuz!
