My running shoes give me blisters. Is this a problem?

My left leg is crooked. It%26#039;s not a big deal or otherwise disabling. But because my leg%26#039;s crooked, my left shoe always rubs a big fat blister across my Achilles. I put moleskin or bandaids or, my favorite, little corn pads on the trouble spot, and I wear different styles of shoes and all. But the blister%26#039;s always there. My ankle%26#039;s scarred and calloused and bleedy, but I%26#039;m mostly used to it and keep running. But I%26#039;m running around forty miles a week as I train for a marathon, and I%26#039;m beginning to worry that all the friction is stressing the tendon. Am I worried for no reason? I don%26#039;t have any pain beyond the skin issue.

Yes you may end up playing this later, in 25 years. Try a different pair of shoes.
Reply:this will sound dumb but i heard if you spray some spray deodorant on your feet that it will prevent blistering. If that does not work you need to try to get a shoe that fits you better. Maybe a smaller size. The shoe should not rub if it fits correctly no matter how crooked your leg is.
Reply:i think you need to get special platform running shoes..it will help you from pronating so bad..also get thicker high socks..and maybe that will help a little pit..maybe insoles too. good luck with your marathon!
Reply:wear higher socks and also don%26#039;t run on wet surfaces like grass in the morning because wetness causes blisters. i haven%26#039;t heard anything like ur problem so get it checked out at the doc%26#039;s or at a running store
Reply:If the problems are being caused by the leg making your foot contact the ground incorrectly you need to correct the foot plant.





See a podiatrist about making corrective orthodic inserts.
Reply:I think it%26#039;s a big deal and certainly not healthy. You could develop serious problems with your left foot as you get older. I would go to an orthopedic specialists and have him fit you with an insert to give you relief.
