Re: Bodyglide? Who the heck recommended this stuff?

Mike -

I Googled body glide - looks like something you'd use to keep from chaffing during a run or something - where skin meets skin - cannot imagine it doing anything where socks or other materials are involved.

For your blister issues - try a synthetic (like cool max) inner sock (really thin) under your smartwool socks - then the socks will rub against each other rather than the one sock rubbing against your skin - can make a big difference in blister generation.

Also - you say your shoes are the right size - just a question - is that at the end of the day when your feet are swollen from walking OR in the mornings when you first put them on? Makes a difference. You might play around with lacing - if you're getting blisters on your heel then I suspect that your heel is lifting in the shoe when you walk - adjusting the lacing to prevent that lift may help with the blisters as well.

Let's hope that after you return the body glide the store doesn't re-sell it (yech!)!!
