[pct-l] Blister question

[Scott Henderson <SHenderson@mednet.ucla.edu>]

Karen Berger or any other kind, opinionated person with blister knowledge:

I recently went on a short trip, 2 days/20 mi, with some newish, 
though broken in, boots.  I developed a half dollar sized blister on 
the back of my right heel.  The blister is centered 2 1/4 inches 
above the floor in bare feet.  What preventative structural 
measure(s) can be taken?

Specifics
1. The left shoes feels like a custom fit and there were no problems 
on that side.
2. I recently found out that my right foot is a 1/2 size smaller than 
the left foot.
3. I wore synthetic hiking socks with coolmax liners.

Any thoughts?
