You\u2019ll often notice them on the heel or the top and sides of your foot near the toes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ways To Prevent Blisters\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to avoid blisters is to take preventative measures that minimize the risk of developing blisters when running. If you keep these tips in mind, you\u2019ll be running blissfully blister-free in no time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some helpful tips for keeping blisters away:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#1 Find the right shoe for your foot type<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most impactful action you can take by far to prevent blisters (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/tennis-shoes-vs-running-shoes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to stop foot pain when running<\/a>) is wearing the proper footwear. Your shoe should align with the contours of your foot and provide cushioning and support around the top, sides, and bottom of your feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there are gaps in places where your shoe doesn\u2019t support the foot, or if the shoe doesn\u2019t lay correctly in certain places, this insufficient protection can lead to chafing and cause blisters. That\u2019s why finding a shoe that fits your feet is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#2 Break your shoes in over time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend that you wear any new shoes\u2014including running shoes and sneakers\u2014for only a few hours per day until they are fully broken in to minimize pain and potential foot blisters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some shoes take longer than others, depending on their material and conformity to your foot. After about two weeks of regular wear, your shoes should be broken in and ready for pavement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#3 Know your pain points<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone\u2019s feet are different. Tune in to how your feet feel before and after running. Do certain areas hurt more than others?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a narrow heel, you\u2019re probably more prone to heel blisters, and if you have bunions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you may get blisters on the side of your foot or your big toe. When you\u2019re aware of your unique pain points, your shoe specialist can better assist you in finding the right shoe for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/women\/active-sneakers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10096\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Active-Sneakers-CTA.jpg\" alt=\"shop-active-shoes-for-women\" width=\"512\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Active-Sneakers-CTA.jpg 512w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Active-Sneakers-CTA-300x100.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>#4 Prevent excess moisture<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moisture inside your shoes or socks can make your feet more slippery, increasing friction between the shoe and the foot and resulting in the kind of fabric-on-skin rubbing that leads to blisters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Control and prevent extra moisture as best you can with products like moisture-wicking socks and footwear, and avoid running in the rain if you\u2019re prone to foot blisters or already have one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Runner\u2019s Tip: <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your feet are prone to extra sweat while running, try sprinkling some baby powder inside your sneaker to reduce slipping and prevent blister formation.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>#5 Wear high-quality socks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to socks, material matters. Sock shape and material can mean the difference between a runner\u2019s high and hightailing to the first aid kit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invest in thicker socks made of moisture-wicking material. Thicker socks provide more cushion between the shoe and foot for better protection. And materials like acrylic, nylon, and wool are designed to keep moisture at bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#6 Use blister protection products<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve found the perfect pair of running shoes and checked all the other boxes and you\u2019re <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">still <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">getting blisters, there are other options out there for prevention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blister protection products, like balms, are designed to decrease friction. Apply them to foot blister-prone areas before your run. Some blister protection products we recommend include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moleskin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foot Glide Anti-Blister Balm<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fab Feet Blisstick<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Band-Aid Friction Block Stick<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ENGO Blister Patches<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>#7 Stop running if you start to feel pain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be able to stop blisters in their tracks if you stop running (or walking) as soon as you start to feel discomfort. It may just mean you need a sock or moleskin adjustment\u2014and taking the time to do so can save you from days of pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re stepping out in newer shoes, do a quick 10-minute assessment of the pressure levels around your feet. Are parts of your shoe rubbing up uncomfortably in certain areas? If they are in the first ten minutes, odds are they will be on mile 8, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How To Take Care Of Existing Blisters To Minimize Pain<\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already have a painful blister or two, the good news is that they\u2019re relatively easy to cover and care for. It\u2019s easy to learn how to wrap blisters on feet for running with the right precautions to keep your skin infection-free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American Academy of Dermatology Association recommends the following to treat and heal blisters quickly:<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Leave it alone<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 The top recommendation for blister care is to leave it be. If left to heal on its own, a blister should clear up in a few short weeks. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don\u2019t pop it<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Also, part of the \u201cleave it alone\u201d advice is don\u2019t pop your blister (regardless of how tempting it might be). Breaking the skin barrier leaves it open to the elements and increases the risk of infection.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cushion the blister <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u2013 Keep your feet comfortable by creating a cushion to absorb any pressure on the area while walking or running. Invest in donut-shaped cushions specifically for blisters, or make your own by cutting a hole in a moleskin pad.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Provide a protective layer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u2013 Adding a protective top layer with wound tape or a bandage will help to keep the cushion in place if you\u2019re walking or running. However, uncover the blister while relaxing at home to expose it to beneficial oxygen to help it heal.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keep it clean <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u2013 Especially if the blister opens up, you will want to keep it clean and use antibiotic ointment when changing or dressing your wound. Cleaning bacteria and debris from a broken blister will help avoid infection and longer-lasting discomfort.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Tips for Finding the Right Shoe<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you\u2019re ready to take your first step into blister-free running.

Pair them with thick, moisture-wicking socks for the best in blister prevention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tips for Non-Running Shoes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you\u2019re using your feet so much when running, it\u2019s easy to see why blisters can be more common when you\u2019re physically active. But keep in mind that some of the other shoes that you wear could be a potential blister trigger as well. For example: There\u2019s a debate regarding tennis shoes vs\u00a0 running shoes, but take note that tennis shoes provide lateral stability (which is helpful for side-to-side movement), whereas running shoes usually have flexible forefoot to provide support during each stride.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s another example: Wearing an old or uncomfortable pair of boots or heels can cause tenderness over time that may lead to more frequent blisters. Running may not be the initial cause of the blister, but enough to exacerbate the constant friction that makes the blister form.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the same principles of conformity, breathability, and comfort when shopping for any kind of shoe to support your feet during every occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Trust the Experts in Blister-Free Running at Vionic<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know a thing or two about discovering that dreaded blister in the middle of a jog.
