Are you wearing cotton socks?  They always give me blisters.  If you are, switch to something with a moisture wicking blend.  I get mine at Target.  I even have run in cheap dollar store socks and been fine, just as long as there is some synthetic in them.


If socks aren't the issue, I'd go to a specialty store, like your local running shop, and have them fit you.  They will watch you walk/run barefoot and in different shoes until you find some that work with your feet and gait.

What are they called.  I am getting blisters too but would love to try the target socks.

oooh - I am so anti-Nike!  They are notorious for being more of a nice-looking street shoe than an actual running shoe.  They gave me blisters and lots of foot problems - my podiatrist told me not to wear them anymore (I was training for a marathon at the time),


I prefer adidas or saucony - but if you don't want to invest in new shoes (they can be expensive), I would echo the socks idea - get the kind with dry-wicking technology.  they have them at target, I think it might be by champion, but you'll see them if you look in the athletic sock section.


oh, and one more thing - you should go half a size up in your running shoes, b/c your feet swell when you sweat.  that way you will also get more room in the toe box (nike's are often narrow) - sounds like your pinkie toe is getting squeezed. 


hope your toesies feel better soon!
