Re: Bodyglide? Who the heck recommended this stuff?

I am using the Merrell Moab Ventilator Mid shoes with the green superfeet insoles in them. I tried on several brands and models of hiking boots but the Merrells had the best fit as soon as I put them on. I even tried several sizes and was able to easily determine that 13 was too big and 11 too small so 12 is my size and it was very comfortable. I picked these shoes up after my Merrell Stretch II shoes started falling apart after only a few months. The first time I used the Moabs was one week prior to this weekend and I did not get any blister, although the hike was quite short, pictures:

The blister that was starting to form on this past weekend's hike was on the back of my right heel. Didn't happen on the left perhaps because my left foot is slightly bigger than my right. Of course my foot moves around a tiny bit in the shoe, otherwise it would be too small. Here are pictures from the longer hike:

And unfortunately no matter what I do, I still cannot stop that callus from happening under my big toes, I think it's just there for good without remedy so I just have to live with it if I want to hike.
I just wish my feet weren't so darn sore after hiking, oh well..
