If a pair fit they WON'T blister. If they blister they aren't right. That's what I've found. Took me a whole to settle on a 'type' of trainer.

Could always look into running sans shoes.
Just started, myself, and found a BIG improvement (less knee-pain, etc.), although not ideal for an up-coming half-marathon as you need to ease into distance over months.
Good luck with the run, Will.
