That sounds like it could be a potential muscular issue. If it's pain like cramping pain, try increasing potassium into your diet. I like bananas.

Your tendon issues could be tendinitis. Does it feel painfully right and like it won't expand/stretch in the full motion? If that's the case you need stretching + recovery time.

There are also legit foot issues that you could have. My twin brother had a problem where the bone on the top of his foot kept growing and they had to break and cut it because he was getting to the point where shoes were painful.

Also, you need to read Fixing Your Feet.

It'll teach you how to prep and care for them. His stuff works.

Reduce friction. Sounded like fuckery to me when I first read it Fixing Your Feet, Later heard SGM Mike Glover mention it as well.


My feet are softer than a Thai Hooker's overly lubricated labia now and blister free. (Lack of STDs helps that part)

To prevent this from happening again, I HIGHLY recommend a book by a guy named John Vonhof

I did the Ironhorse 50 in Florida in 2012 and my feet were a mess because of the wet conditions. There was a guy who taped my feet that absolutely solved the issue. He was following this book.

I bought the volume 5, though now John’s up to volume 6.

It is a fantastic book aimed at the ultra athlete and our feet. It was absolutely a game changer in how I prepped my feet for longer races.

I can get blisters walking to the store and back. It was the hardest part of learning to backpack.

Keep your feet as dry as possible. Lubricate your feet and put duct tape on any hot spots as soon as you notice them. The lubricant will stop the duct tape from working though, so the balance there is an art. Seems good to duct tape then put lubricant over top. Basically, this solved my problem. Powders can help because they absorb moisture.

Many swear by lukotape but mine's still in the mail, haven't tested it yet. Duct tape is cheap and you probably already own some.

I read this, it was very helpful if you need more information:
