I got new shoes last June. I had a few problems but got inserts and was "good to go".
I've been running all year but I only average about 15-20K/week.
All was well until tonight, I got a huge blister. As far as I can tell everything was the same.
I did notice the back of the shoe was worn a bit.

Time to go to invest in a new pair or just a fluke?

Thanks,

~Heather

Hmm, it's been a year... probably time for new shoes. I'm always amazed how one day, shoes are fine, the next, they aren't.  Happened to me just 2 weeks ago.

Also, were you wearing your usual socks?  For me blisters are more dependent on which socks I'm wearing than anything to do with my shoes.

Also, if you were sweating more than usual your feet stay wet, that could do it.

Still, figure 20km/wk (erring on the side of caution) =1040 km this year = 646.2 miles=Time for a new pair of shoes!!
