Okay - so last time I got blisters because I didn't use socks. NOW I do.
Anyway, you've got to get socks that are made that way too - five separate toe pockets - then magic happens.
Well, I decided that since I'm well padded, I'd go longer distances.
Today I did a 10K run. Beautiful day out, breezy, not too hot, not crowded, and pace-wise, very comfortable.
Best thing, no blisters!
Okay, now the after-effects: sore calves and ankles, recurring knee pain, and it hurts. So I'm limping around like the walking wounded.
Well, think my leg muscles are learning and adjusting, but I wonder if my knee can hold up for longer distances, or if I should just stop being obstinate and buy a proper pair of shoes.
Watch this space.
