See the circle at heal? It was not there when they were new.

Leaving Oncina - blisters!!

Oh no - blisters! And ‘only’ 300km to go!

So I have off-the-shelf orthotics from my podiatrist. It seems after a few hundred km on these, there is a circle at the heal that loses its structure. This leaves a ring with sharp edges under the surface. So basically it was like i was walking on a wedding ring without realizing it. So now I have a couple pressure-blisters. Booohooo. I fixed the orthotics with moleskin and tape. So not sure if maybe my heals will be ok. I have a shorter day and a rest day coming up.

This happened to my last pair too. I thought this pair was different, since I could not feel the circle when they were new.

Also in this footprint: noisy frogs! They croak differently here.Read more
