Everytime I run an XC race with spikes, I get killer blisters on my heels. It's so bad that I can run for a couple of days.
I'm using New Balance 230's right now and feel like burning them.
Can anyone recommend an XC spike that is somewhat blister proof?
Do you wear socks with your spikes? If so, don't.
I didn't wear socks...
The only thing that I can think of is that the spikes may be slightly too small.
I wear size 11 for trainers and I've heard people recommend wearing a slightly smaller size for your spikes. For example, my spikes are size 10 1/2.
I was thinking that this might be the problem.
What do you think?
