possibly your feet are wide and need a 4E width or a shoe with a wide forefoot such as Altra brand.

I shall try ultra after I'm done with these shoes.
Because you have the wrong size. Guessing too narrow.
Because jogging 5-10 MPW doesn't callous up the feet enough.

because you are taking this double identity trolling too far and buying Sand Dunes size shoes for Jamin sized feet.
Tell me what brand?
I always tape my arches when trying out new shoes.

P.s. my blister is on the Achilles.

They actually look like reasonable trainers. I run in the Ultra boost because absolutely nothing touches the achilles. You'll know what I mean when your older.
It’s Altra not Ultra. They do have wide toe boxes but not necessarily wide shoes. Finding a wide shoe with a wide toe box is akin to a search for the holy grail, I haven’t heard that it’s been found yet.

Ah, this is in my book 200 Tips Every Runner Should Know... do you have it? Anyway, here's the likely cause and the fix.
Your foot is slipping up and down (or possibly back and forth) within the shoe.
1. To fix the back and forth, use lock lacing (also called butterfly lacing) to snug your heel into the back of the shoe. Lock lacing is explained in lots of YouTube videos. None use the pattern I prefer, but I haven't gotten around to posting a video, so use one of those. The idea is to pull your foot back into the heel collar so it can't move forward in the shoe.
2. Use that extra unused eyelet to lace your shoes... the one on the top nearest your ankle. That will also help snug the shoe around the back of the foot.
3. If this doesn't fix the problem, notice if your heel is lifting off the insert when you take the weight off your foot. In a few shoes, there is a bend inside the shoe where the middle of the foot is raised a bit more than the heel or the toes, creating sort of a reverse rocker effect. You can fix this by adding a piece of crafts felt under the insert in the heel area. This will also increase the heel to toe drop 2mm or so, but it will fix this particular problem.
4. Socks can make the above problems worse. Don't wear cotton socks or socks that are loose on your heel. If your sock slides on your foot, it can cause blisters everywhere. I wear relatively thin socks that fit snug made out of wicking fabric with no or very little cotton. I never get blisters. Good luck.
If you're getting blisters from your shoes, they don't fit right. Get a different brand, model, size or all three. There are hundreds of different shoes out there. Find one that feels good to wear!

Thank you, it feels like it fixed the problem.
I don't know how true this is but I've been told by running store salespeople and coaches that if your new sneakers are consistently giving you blisters, you're probably wearing the wrong shoes.
Anecdotally, it proved true for me. I wore a regular width shoe for years before realizing that I actually needed a narrow width shoe and it made a huge difference for me. Since then I've only gotten blisters from new trainers/trainers in general if I wore them without socks or with crappy socks in the rain or if I had a blister from other shoes that got agitated further by running.
Better socks can also help. I thought expensive running socks were a load of crap but they do actually make a difference.
