New Shoes
 

Recently I've been having some bad luck with some new shoes I bought. I love them and I always run in them. The name of these shoes? Five fingers. Each pair is different and takes time to break in. This though just sucks. Ive been running longer distances and I got new shoes. My old ones were disgusting and falling apart. They were so bad that every time I wore them they needed to be washed because of how bad they stunk. So there was a pair that came up and was on a small sale. My dad bought them for me and I tried them out. They fit and were comfortable and the color looked real good. These are my fourth pair of them and I have loved each one. My first pair was orange and they really stood out when I wore them. I now own a black pair that are nice and light. With that I started running in them and they feel amazing. They are comfortable, light and have some support. Its crazy how a new pair of shoes though can ruin your feet. The first time I wore them my feet broke out and I was pulling off dead skin. I figured that it was just because they were new and five fingers takes two weeks to officially have them set to your feet. 

Then it happened, the next run I did I got blisters. Several ones that were on both feet and pretty decent in size. Sometimes you don't know till you take the shoes off and that was the case with this. Considering how much i'm usually on my feet I am used to getting blisters of all kinds so I just went through my usual routine . Now some of this is gross but I do end up poping blisters but not pulling the skin. I drain it and let it sit until the skin either falls off or becomes a new layer of skin since it may just suction cup itself back in place. Either way it works out pretty well. But in this particular case I just have bad luck. I cant stop running but i've been spacing my timing out because of the blisters and having them heal up. It is a real crazy time full of bad decisions with these blisters and it always sucks the next day. Right now I have blisters and band-aids all over the place on my feet and toes from getting blisters on top of blisters. But you know the saying, 

No pain, No Gain.
