I have eliminated almost all of my blister problems except for the ones that occur on the tops of my toes. I have plenty of room in the front of my shoes, but not on top. I also have double-layer socks that work great and I use BodyGlide, but neither prevent these top blisters. Sometimes I wonder if I could just cut holes in the top of my shoes for my toes to breathe :)
