Golf Shoes and Blisters

[spusa]

Regardless of which brand and type of golf shoe I've worn, I seem to get heel blisters on a regular basis, particularly in the hot months..

I've tried going a half-size up or down from my regular size and the problem persists.  My feet do perspire quite a bit during the summer.  The only thing I haven't done is change the type of socks I wear (regular white athletic socks).

Suggestions, anyone?

Thanks!

What kind of socks do you wear?  I wear Oakley and Footjoy golf socks and don't get any blisters but I also make sure my golf shoes fit properly.  

Heel blisters usually indicate your heel is moving around in the shoe.  I know from running that some people have trouble finding shoes that fit tight enough in the heel.  Rather than going half size smaller, maybe you should try a narrow width pair and see if they fit the heel better or you could try thicker socks.

I found that narrower shoes aren't the answer.  I do like your advice about using different socks.

Kent wool golf socks are a bit pricey but they are thicker and offer alot of heel cushion.

You might try two pairs of thin socks.  That was standard procedure when hiking.

I wear synthetic runners socks I get at Roadrunner. Store brand. They also make custom insoles. That might help you too
