New Shoes Problem. Help!

Submitted by big_apple_ken on 25. May 2010 - 2:37

I just bought my first official pair of running shoes (Asics 2150) since I started running 10 weeks ago. They fit great the store (Athletics Nation). Just went out for my first test run today (easy 5K) and I noticed the insole for the left shoe (my left foot has moderate to severe overpronation) potentially will give me blister problems (didn't get blisters but I could see spots on my left arch on the verge of blisters just from a 5K run). I read some reviews online and it said it's because Asics decided to make the insole ridges sharper (versus the Asics 2140). As for my right foot (mild overpronation) the shoes fit like a glove and are super comfortable.

So my question is...what can I do? Do I:

- Find new insoles? If so, what kind of insoles should I buy (besides custom orthordics)? Where can I buy it?
- Maybe buy anti-blistering socks? Will that help the ridge blister problem? Where can I buy those in HK?
- Maybe 'fix' the insole ridge problem? Basically if arch ridge wasn't so sharp I would have zero issues.

Thanks!
