Brooks Glycerin 13 blister - please help!

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

Hi all,

I received a pair of these via mail order and immediately noticed the "snugness" of the fit due to the extra cushioning. I take size 9 in a regular shoe but 9.5 in Brooks running shoes.

I've been for two runs now and immediately developed a blister on the topside of the toe next to the little one, on my right foot.

I applied an ordinary plaster this morning but the abrasion of the upper just pushed the plaster out of place. I've never experienced this before so I'm not sure what to do - will they "wear in" or the skin on my toe get used to the abrasion?

I wear ordinary trainer socks - would double layer socks make any difference?

I *think* it's being caused by the abrasion of the shoe's hard plastic toe protector from above.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Perform a protectorotomy surgery on your shoes. Get rid of the offending piece of plastic. Swap in a thinner liner from an old pair of shoes.

Send them back. These aren't the right shoes for you.

Update:

I'm getting a size 10 of the same shoe. Have never worn this size or had this problem before... Does anyone think this will make much difference?

For future reference, is there an online shop or high street store (in Ireland) that will exchange worn shoes if they're not right?

The ship I've been buying from is reluctant to take shoes back.

Yeah, that's what happens when you buy your shoes from a ship
