I have blistering of my foot from wearing Formthotics Shock Stop innersoles

Hi Gary, late last year I purchased a pair of Formthotic Shock Stop from your online store. Since then I have only had the chance to run on them a couple of times because I have been recovering from a stress fracture and have hardly been running. However, on the few occasions that I have run on them I have developed intense blistering under the arch of both feet. It seems to be cause from the material on the top of the innersole being so sticky that the sock sticks to it, which in turn causes the sock to rub on arch of the foot on each foot strike. I realise that these devises can take some time to wear in and get used to but I am inclined never to wear them again after running in them today. I’ve attached a photo of my foot so that you get an idea about to severity of the blisters (on both feet) after only an 8km run.

Which Formthotics Inner Sole design is best for you?

The Formthotics Active and Formthotics Shock Stop are designed to be heat moulded to fit the shape of your feet. These inner soles support the foot, including the arch, during strenuous exercise. This support is particularly valuable as the legs tire. A further benefit of moulded inner soles is they reduce the tendency of the feet to ever so slightly slip and slide around within the shoe. This can reduce agility in sports like tennis and is the most common cause of blisters and callouses. Which Formthotics Inner Soles is best for you?

• Formthotics Shock Stop - For high impact sports like tennis and running.
• Formthotics Active - Excellent for work shoes, cross trainers, walking and hiking boots.
• Formthotics At Work - For gum boots, work boots. For anybody who spends a lot of time standing on hard surfaces.
• Formthotics Low Profile - For shoes with restricted space such as dress shoes, golf shoes track and cycling shoes.
• Formthotics Comfort - Heel and arch supports particularly suited for dress shoes.
