| So I get these water-filled "bubbles" on the soft skin on my feet, usually under my arch. They aren't normal blisters caused by friction since I'm getting them in places that don't rub. They can hurt if they stretch the skin a lot but I'm just as likely to not notice them. If they do hurt, I can lance or cut them open, drain the fluid and all is well. Does anyone know exactly what these are and how I can prevent them? |

Don't attack the guy that passes me like I'm standing still when I think I'm running fast...I can't catch him anyway and I'd just look silly

Why do you think under the arch is a place that wouldn't rub? I've gotten blisters there, also between two smaller toes. These are places that don't normally blister for me, but whenever I run longer distances, the water blisters pop up.
Try applying vaseline liberally to the areas that blister before you put your running shoes on, that seems to help. Also, make sure your shoes are laced snugly (but not too tight). |

| 3 words: Blister Shield Powder. It's incredible for preventing or minimizing foot blistering. I use it before any runs of more than HM distance. |
