Over a year ago I switched from Nike Pegasus to Hoka Clifton because of tightness in calves/achilles (can't do 0 drop shoes). I love Nike, they fit me great, shoes look awesome, they make me feel like I run like Jan Frodeno. But I have weak achilles and had constant tightness in the calves, despite stretching, foam rolling, massages, etc. When I switched to Hoka it was almost like an overnight fix. No more pain in the calves and I could stick to 30 miles a week (peak at 40 when training for marathon) no problem. Never had an injury on Hoka either. I'm 5'10 and 150lbs. Running background.
The problem: I started having blisters and calluses on my arches and balls of booth feet 6 months ago. Blood blisters. It's so annoying that I'm not sure what to do. I've had those for months now but now the callusses are pretty thick and really hurt. I've done vaseline, pumice stone, "healthy feet" creams.
I've had these issues on Clifton 6 and Bondi 7.
Any recommendations?
What I'm thinking:
- get a new pair of "maximalist" shoes (which ones?)
- or find a new magic cream / anti blister/calluses cream?
