Blisters on my toes?

Question

I just started Cross Country and after a week of running I have blisters on two of my toes. It hurts sometimes.

Why? What do I do?

Answer 1

make sure your shoes fit properly

make sure the seam of your sock isn't near your blister

cover with good adhesive band-aid in circular shape

wear cotton socks that absorb moisture - not nylon blend that lets sweat gather on on your skin

take a break if you can until it heals

Answer 2

it happens all the time.

-make sure your socks are pulled up tightly and they aren't rubbing around too much.

-when you do get blisters on your toes, wrap band-aids around them. if you get blisters on main parts of your foot, then use moleskin. If you can't find moleskin anywhere, band-aids work okay for that, too.

-make sure your shoes are tied tightly....this is a safety precaution too. you'll prevent blisters and you have a smaller chance of getting a hurt foot.

good luck this season! keep running. hope i helped :]

Answer 3

Get the right running shoes. Make sure your socks are comfortable.

Answer 4

hahahahahah

Answer 5

i had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. i had the same pair of shoes from last season of Cross Country and found out that my shoes had kinda shrunk. either that or my feet got a little bigger. if your anywhere near or in Kentucky, go to Jon's Run/Walk Shop in Lexington. these guys are pros. they know their stuff. that's where i got my last pair.

so get somebody who knows what their doing instead of somebody like Hibbet's or d**k's. they know c**p!

so, mainly, check the size of ur shoes. that was my problem and ALL the blisters have finally started to disappear.

Answer 6

You can wrap your toes before you run and wear an extra pair of socks.  Also check the size of your shoes.  

You can buy the wraps at a drug store.
