Why am I getting blisters in this pair?
What this may really mean
Repeated friction plus moisture is likely happening at specific contact points during movement.
What not to assume
Do not assume "toughening up" skin is the fix; persistent friction usually points to a fit or sock issue.
What to check first
- Exact blister location (heel, toes, arch edge, forefoot)
- Sock material and seam placement
- In-shoe movement after 20-30 minutes of walking
What now
Address friction source first: adjust lock-down, switch sock system, then reassess shoe shape if needed.
Boundary note
Open, infected, or recurrent blisters should be managed with clinical guidance, not just gear changes.
