Running Blisters - Where Do You Get Them? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. Pigglies (5013)   ranked 1 out of 104 in running5 months ago

I've noticed that unless I wear those Injinji socks with the individual toes, I get blisters. You would think that I would always wear those socks then, but sometimes they aren't clean. I guess I should say I get blisters when I run with regular socks in my Nike Free shoes. Because in my Five Fingers I can't fit socks in, and I haven't gotten blisters yet from those.

My now my little toe has two different blisters on it. One on the bottom and one on the side. And the tiny little toenail on it is also injured. All that, after only running three and a half miles with regular socks. Crazy huh?

So where do you get your blisters? Or are you one of those lucky people who don't blister?

The words only and three and half miles don't belong in the same sentence!It sounds like you need to get more of the socks that work and not run in the socks that don't work.I hope you feel better.

Thanks! Yeah, I am definitely picking up more of those socks this weekend.

I think I'll have to wear my other shoes if I still go running Saturday morning. Since I don't want to destroy my blisters. I think the other shoes will be different enough to not rub in the same spots.

I think I'm one of those lucky people who doesn't blister.
I've been running sockless in my nike frees for about 3 months now.
I went barefoot for the first time today. Today's barefoot was 1.7 miles then almost another mile added with the shoes. No blistering.
I suggest taking the insoles out of your shoes and maybe trying them sockless. I hate running with socks in my nike frees.
I haven't tried the injinji socks yet, I'll probably be getting them along with my VFF's for winter running.

I can't run sockless if I've got shoes on, since my feet sweat. I ran 3.5 miles tonight with the Injinji socks and only barely could feel my blisters at the end. I think I blister because my feet sweat. I only blister in sweaty places.

I can't wear socks with the VFFs though, they are way too tight fitting for socks. Once you get some, you'll see what I mean. You can't squeeze a sock into there. If you get a size or two larger, maybe. But with the Injinji socks, if your toes don't go all the way to the end you are left with an extra piece of sock there which isn't too bad in regular shoes, but in the VFFs it makes them not fit.

I bought my Surges a bit bigger, but since the material isn't as stretchy, they fit about just as tight as my KSOs.

It amazes me how different peoples bodies respond to the same stimuli. I feel bad for you having to deal with the blisters. I used to get blisters from roller skating and I'm sure it was a fit issue then with me. But it really puts a damper on a sport you love.
