HELP Blisters on feet from running (pics included )

I've had blisters on the bottom of my feet before--not exactly in the same place as yours, though.

Couple of things to try:

1. New socks. There are double-layer socks that help prevent blisters--your foot will slide cloth-on-cloth instead of against the shoe. The brand I know off the top of my head is Wright, but there may be others.

2. Vaseline, Body Glide, or chamois cream on your foot. Lube it up before you run, especially before long runs.

3. New shoes. Last resort, because you want to get value out of the ones you have, especially if they're otherwise comfortable. But you're likely getting blisters because your foot is moving within the shoe, so you may need a tighter shoe. OR--and try this first! you might just need to relace them for a better fit.

Best of luck!

Definitely try these:-).

Have you been fitted at a running store?

This blister developed when I started running outside. It was just a blister then it started to turn brown. I bought some of those DR Sholls blister band aides but they don't stay on. Now I have another blister developing under this one. How can I get rid of this and keep it away. And is it normal for them to turn brown ???

Yes, they sometimes turn brown. If the blister is unbroken then it's nothing to worry about. It just means that there is a mixture of blood and serous fluid inside.

If you're going to be very active, you can still give your blister a chance to heal. Your best bet is to cushion the blister (cut out a piece of Second Skin or sterile gauze that's slightly larger than the blister) and then use a large, flexible bandage to hold it in place (I like Elastoplast, which is sturdy cloth but also bendable). At night, when you're not on your feet, it's better to leave it open to air.

Once your blister is healed, the previous posters had some good suggestions about preventing future blisters.

I used to get those from my boon dockers in the Navy. I just changed boon dockers every day. :happy: :drinker:

I've tried every sock going. No luck.

Hi, Is this on the base of your foot, near the heel?

Blisters are normally caused by friction so I would try all the suggestion people have made, sock etc. If the trainers seem to fit try different lacing techniques on your shoes to prevent slippage, google can churn out many alternatives.

If it is on your heel maybe look at your running action, if your landing on your heel a lot this could be causing problems.

THanks I love my shoes but I think they may be a tad big but me feet tend to swell so they put me in a half size bigger other than that I am loving the shoes. Maybe I need to try new socks. I do the vaseline thing before I go out

Running shoes are supposed to be half a size bigger than what you normally wear.

If you're wearing cotton socks ditch them and buy synthetic. Cotton is Rotten! I have several,pair of thorlo socks. They're really thick, synthetic, and comfy. They don't always stop blisters but it cuts them down significantly. Also do body glide and/or Vaseline like someone suggested. That works well too.
