[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1194971, member: 211504"] Kudos to having 50 years of experience, but there are plenty of people who have been buying improper footwear or walking with poor form all of their lives. That's not meant insultingly it's just a fact. When I speak of proper footwear, I mean considering length, width, pronation/supination, arch support, bodyweight, running surface, and a number of other factors. "Soft leather shoes" would probably make me blister up too but that's because I'm a wear 12.5us 4E width shoe designed to cater to my flat feet (minimal arch) and pronation when I run. At 210 lbs, I have zero issues running 10+ miles in 100* heat but with those conditions you also have to wear the right socks too (to account for sweat). In contrast, put me in the wrong shoes and I'll blister in half a mile, or if I walk/run with bad form (I have a habit of curling my toes which causes knee pain) even the right shoes could cut my runs very short. Bottom line: if every pair of shoes is causing blisters then it's time to address your walking/running form or something else. Blisters should not happen even if you get regular pedicures.
