Ok, I've tried 1000 mile (blister free), i've tried hilly mono sock, and then thorlos.... but still seem to get blisters on top of blisters around the eight mile mark !! [when doing shorter runs of around 5 miles it's usually ok] my shoes are only a few months old and have not given me problems before !!
any suggestions ? [apart from giving up running]

thanks V-rap, you are all heart can you do a bum transplant while you're at it ?
Second skin... that sounds good...
thank you all such lovely people x
There you go v-rap, more work for you: skin transplants !
Seriously though, Foxy you say your shoes are a few months old. But that doesn't tell us whether perhaps they have exceeded their lifespan. Time perhaps for new shoes?
Good luck.
the blisters appear on the balls of feet - on the inner part...
Glen... we wouldn't do that to dearest v-rap !!
Jonanthan - 2 could bear 2 pairs of socks... that would be too thick for me !! but the lube thing sounds good. so 2 pairs of socks for every injury huh ? would that also work for my sore shoulder ?

We'll carry you if we have to.
No backing out Foxums.
I'll hobble with ya!
Oh dear.... [Still grinning...]...
You'll be fine a stubburn cuss like yerself!! Not to mention you Sparkles mate... I'll lend ya' me crutches if you like...
When you spray it on it dries like a kind of "rubber" which stays on until you peel it off.
(Is it the same thing as "second skin"?)
Compeed is also very good but I wish they would make "toe" plasters.
You're gonna love this.
Fill your socks full of fresh cut lambs wool and leave 'em overnight. By the next morning the natural lanolin will have soaked into the fabric of the sock. Presto!! No more blisters.
Two drawbacks. First catch your lamb. Second if you own a border collie it'll keep rounding your socks up !!
3-4cm high. You paint it on like nailvarnish.
-I've spent all this money on blister products, only to get one under a toe nail, which is turning all sorts of pretty colours :-(
I can't work out whether taping it up helps or makes it worse.- or whether you should tape onto the nail, or put something between the nail and the stickiness to stop it getting pulled.
Naturally, the English soldiers thought the Aussies were nuts when they saw this but 4 days of solid marching later, the Aussies did not have blisters and the English did.
Makes me proud to be Australian.
