I got a blister from my new running shoes?
Question:
Answers:
Here's an odd answer:
Check to see that you are wearing THIN enough socks. Thick socks means, by definition, bulkier socks leaving less room for your foot. If you reduce the bulk, you increase the room for your foot. Look at a thinner sock made out of a material that does not absorb and hold all the sweat and start getting soggy.
Also- check the shoe size. Alot of runners buy one shoe size UP because feet swell when running longer.again, the bulk thing. Feet swell, less room in the shoe, something starts rubbing, and VOILA! a blister.
Lastly- if its small, drain it (leaving skin intact) bandage it, and ease back but don't stop the running. You may try vasaline on it too. If its big..drain it leaving skin intact, and rest from running for a bit.

Thats usal bu i would wait for the blister to heal and then just wear them for a while so they cn be kinda worn out and then i would start running in those again.
do they fit well? Check the laces go from the bottom and pull up the rubbing is probably coming from them being too lose try baby powder on you feet 2 it helps

Wait till your blisters are healed and wear thicker socks the next time.
I am runner so you should heal up your feet first because you don't want them to get worse.

I would say put on a bandage and continue wearing them with thicker socks until they're broken in.
Treat the blister, even if you have to wait to run. Recently, I went on vacation with a new pair of sneakers and I got a few blisters. Needless to say, I had to keep walking on my vacation. My feet got worse and worse. It took weeks for them to heal. Do yourself a favor, and treat the blister, and maybe get a new pair of sneakers.
Athletic socks really helped me out with that same problem. I didn't even need bandages on my existing blisters; I could still run without popping them.
It seems that your shoes don't fit right. They are tight somewhere that is rubbing. My advice is to take your shoes to a pedorthist or a shoe repair shop and show where the blister is. Help is available there to stop the blister from returning. in the meantime, treat the blister and hold off on running with your old shoes if they irritate the blister too.
What kind of socks are you wearing? If you are wearing cotton then switch to a coolmax or nylon based sock. Where is your blister? If it's on the back of your heel, then you can loop-lace your laces to tighten the heel--your local running store can show you how to do that (or I can explain if you email). If the blister is under your arch then your shoes may either have too high of an arch or the arch support does not line up correctly to your foot (typically not the right size shoe). If either of these is the case, take the shoes back. If the blister is on your toe, make sure the shoes aren't too small. You should have a good distance between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. ALWAYS wear a running shoe that is a half size bigger than your casual shoe. If you feel that they are too small you will continue to blister--take them back. If you don't feel like the shoes are too small then I suggest you keep wearing them. Shoes need a good break in period and so do your feet. I can't run in my running shoes until after I've worn them around for a day or two. Also, my toes blister before they get toughened up--this might be the case for you.
Good luck.
