In reply to Ray.

Even after a short run, hurts my feet arches …. and hurts that badly…. maybe these shoes are for high arches only. ? unfortunately lying under my desk for over 6 weeks, so no chance of returning now.

I developed a blister 2 weeks ago thought it was just from the socks i was wearing. I went running tonight 4 miles and barely made it I got a huge blister again. I was in a group so I pushed thought. I Love my nikes but I’m considering switching . I’m to active to develop setbacks .

Maybe the Nike Pegasus 31: https://runblogger.com/2014/06/nike-zoom-pegasus-31-running-shoe-review.html

Had the same issue with blisters but after lots of use. I think the soft sole and no mid support does not help. Any suggestions on another option?

I’ve had a pair of these for over a year now and I love them, I will likely get the 6 that is supposed to come out in a month or so. Reading your article I do remember at the beginning having a similar pain in the arch but it did go away and haven’t felt it again. I really like the Lunarlon outsole, it’s soft and superlight.

In reply to Ray. I didn't notice anything supportive in the Lunarglide. If anything, it exaggerated my pronation due to the soft medial forefoot (evidenced by my blistering along the inner ball of my right foot).

I’ve never really found anything that works well other than letting a callus develop and leaving it be. I’ve also gotten good at predicting shoes that will cause trouble – soft medial forefoot almost always seems to be the culprit. Had the same issue in Nike Pegasus, some Skechers.

Interesting, I have found the same blistering issue when wearing some shoes. Trends to be those with softer soles. I also find it only affects my right foot too. I’m starting to feel it when wearing my sketcher go run ride 3’s. Shame as I love the shoe, so I need to find a way to protect my foot. Do you have any advice for taping my foot or blister creams to put on before my run? I really want to keep using the go runs

In reply to Willy T. I don't worry too much about that unless symptoms give me reason to.

Looks like some minor cross over gait in that treadmill video.

I had the same blistering problem you described with the Lunarglide 4. Except for this problem I really like the shoe but will not use them on runs over 3 miles. For longer runs I will stick with my Pegasus’.

Just a note on that heel cushioning: it can bottom out on heavier runners. I’m 6-3 and 175 and a slight heel-striker, no pavement pounder, but the Lunarglide just doesn’t have much underfoot for above-average -size runners. Too bad because it’s a relatively light shoe in large sizes. I only use it for shorter runs. No arch troubles for me.
