I've been getting blister on the back of my heals lately. I use NewBalance shoes that are a year old and there just now giving me blisters! There my step areobic shoes,and I've been using them for walking,could that be it? I use cotton socks,and when the blisters started I would put on two pairs and still get blisters. I would hate to buy another pair of shoes just for walking,any suggestions!

Thanks:) :D :7 !
 
Maybe they are giving you blisters because it's time for new shoes? A year is a fairly long time if you use them almost everyday. HTH.

I agree with Runnergirl - it's probably time for new shoes. A year is a looooong time in the life of a shoe. And cotton socks are probably not the best option either - you should try some non-cotton, moisture-wicking socks.
 
I agree you need new shoes AND socks. Cotton socks are not the best choice for exercise because they get damp with sweat and cause friction. Here's a link for great socks -- I love these socks and you can find them in specialty stores as well as several online etailers.

Yup - if you're exercising very regularly, a year is about all you're going to get out of a pair of shoes. This is an argument I have with my DH every time I go to buy a new pair. He says they're fine - and on the outside, the look fine. I wear them pretty much only in the house. But once my ankles and knees start hurting, I know it's time to say "goodbye".
 
My husband favorite fitness saying is---Cotton kills! Preparing for a hike with him is a nightmare---cotton kills, cotton kills! Then go buy me some overpriced trendy wicking pants! The socks are affordable.
