Blisters on soles of feet from running

Blisters are not a big problem, but they can make a person feel very painful, because after the blisters break, the first and most obvious thing is that they will cause infection. The broken places will form scabs, and after they fall off, they will leave scars. Especially our feet that walk frequently are the most likely to encounter blisters. If blisters appear on the soles of the feet, you need to first look at the cause and choose the appropriate treatment method based on the actual cause.

1. Causes of foot blisters

1. Blisters on the soles of feet

The soles of the feet may be blistered due to overuse of the skin after long-term and long-distance training. However, if the soles of the feet frequently blister during daily training, in addition to changing to a pair of shoes with thicker soles, you need to check your running posture to see if you have the habit of rubbing the ground when running. Habitual rubbing the ground while running will cause a certain point to be frequently and concentratedly hit, so this point is prone to blisters. This running posture not only wastes your shoes and is strenuous, but it can also easily lead to ankle and knee injuries if you do it for a long time.

2. Blisters on both sides of the feet

Blisters on the sides of the feet are common with new shoes. So there is a saying that new shoes need to be broken in. Under normal circumstances, shoes do not need to be broken in and will not cause any pain. The purpose of breaking in is to let you understand the habits of the shoes and better perform at your athletic level. But now the more important reason is to avoid the shoes from causing harm to the feet. If blisters appear on both sides of the shoes, it is mostly due to a small mistake in the design or production of the shoes that causes a particularly abrupt position. In this case, you need to wear slightly thicker socks for a while.

The more important reason is that the shoes you bought are too small! Shoes come in different widths, such as B, D, E, 2E, 4E, etc. The width increases as the width increases. If you are shopping for shoes overseas, be sure to pay attention to this option. Asians' feet are generally fatter and wider than Europeans'. Otherwise, the shoes you bought across the ocean may cause you pain. If the shoes are too big, your feet won’t be well wrapped, and constantly moving around inside the shoes is also a drawback. There are many special topics about shoes on "Love Burning" that are worth recommending to you.

3. Blisters on toes

When blisters appear on your toes, you should consider whether your shoes are too small, leaving no space for your five toes; and whether you are too concerned about landing with the forefoot when running. A very important point in the technique of landing with the forefoot is: "lightly touch the bottom and immediately take off." This efficient running method is highly praised by experts, but how to achieve a light touch of the ground is a very complex art. It is very important to adjust your upper body strength reasonably to drive your exercise at this time. If you fail to do so, black nails may appear in serious cases.

4. Blisters on the heel

Blisters on the heels are basically caused by inappropriate shoes. Most of the reasons are that the shoes are too big. Shoes that are too big will make the feet move inside the shoes all the time, and the collision will cause blisters. We have also encountered blisters caused by the shoe opening material being too rough and too hard. It is recommended to wear socks that are higher than the shoe opening to avoid direct contact between the foot and the heel.
