Blisters - advice please..

[K_Smudger90]

So I bought some posh new trainers just over a month ago from a running shop and got the insoles they mould to your feet too. Since then, I have been getting blisters on the arch of my feet and today it got to a point where it was difficult to walk.

I went back to the shop not long after first getting blisters and they trimmed my insoles which worked for a couple of runs.

Has anyone got any advice on preventing more blisters or helping them heal. Next week I start week 9 and really want to complete c25k by the end of next week

Have you tried running without the insoles? I got some more supportive trainers recently too and they tried to get me to buy insoles but I said I'd try without to see how I went and it's been fine.

what socks are you wearing? Something is causing friction somewhere. Try double layered running socks. Salt water for the blisters. Compeed plasters.

Maybe change the insoles, could be that the arch is a tad too high. Use compeed or Vaseline to prevent blisters, double skinned socks such as Hilly or 1000mile or Thorlos socks..😊
