I have been walking the same for months now. On Wednesday, I walked 4.1 mph for about 5 miles. I did the same thing on Friday, I ended up with a HUGE blister. Does anyone know what might have caused this? Any suggestions to prevent this from happening again? Also, how to get rid of it FAST? Thanks

    LOL ... the cause can be anything. I got the worst blister once from the tinyest grain of sand in my shoe. With that said, I walked my treadmill the other day in bare feet and developed a doozy of a blister. Man it hurt ... finally after limping for a few days I found a "blister treatment" band aide thingy in the foot care section of the drugstore. I put it on and it's like I don't have a blister any more. What a relief ... I'm going hiking tonight now that it doesn't hurt any more :happy:

    You can use "Moleskin" also. They sell it in the foot care aisle. :)

    Band-aid makes this great product called "Friction block." It looks like a mini container of roll on deodorant that you just rub on the areas of your feet that rub against your shoes (i.e. heels). It works miracles! (Also great for use with high heels that haven't been broken in yet!)

    I just bought another pair of shoes. I had my feet fitted. I owe 2 pairs so I alternate them.

    Okay, my blister has healed on my heel. I applied glide on my feet and also wore socks that runners use that have extra padding on the heel. I did my walk today and ended up with a blister again on the same heel as last time, just not as big. Im wondering if the heel spur could be causing it. What do you all think?

    get a compeed plaster, I use them all the time for bilsters and they work wonders

    Get the moleskin - apply the glide first and then the moleskin over that it will help tremendously -
