I bought a pair of Speedstars. I wore them for a long run and got a nasty blister on the back of my heel. I didn't think it would be a big deal since I finished wearing out a pair of Flash DSs and they have pretty much the same heel counter as the Speedstars. My question is what can I do to protect my heel while the blister heals and I continue to pile on the miles.
Fresh!
pop it, or run on it enough and it will pop, wear use body glide
Wear socks and use a bandaid
Get a 2 inch x 2 inch piece of gauze and a roll of duct tape.
Fold the gauze over and stick to a long strip of duct tape. Put the tape on horizontally on your heel...then put a few more strips on top to hold it all in place.
Tada! Duct tape bandaid heals all.
Pop it, and tape it. Put a bandaid or some other non-sticky cloth on the blister then use athletic tape from side to side. You will need spray adhesive to keep the tape on.
I had this problem all the time in spikes.
