Shoe question - has anyone used a shoe for 100 miles with no issues, and then all of a sudden started getting blisters from it? I really liked the Nike Pegasus Plus (still do), but in the last 2 or 3 runs, I've been getting a blister on the same spot. I haven't changed socks or anything else. Any idea what's causing it or what I can do to stop it?

Have you increased your mileage? Also where is the blister? Depending on where its at you can change how your shoes are laced to help.

Blisters are caused by friction, which means the shoe is rubbing an area of your foot. There are two main causes: (1) poor fit, or (2) moisture. My guess is that now we are in warmer weather, you’re sweating more, causing your foot to slip (perhaps imperceptibly). If you’ve been running in thinner socks, I would try a sock that’s more absorbent, like a smart wool sock and see if that helps.
