How can I break in my new sneakers?!
Question: I bought new shoes for exercise. Went for a 3 mile walk tonight and have blisters on the backs on my ankles/heels from the back of the shoes. I normally wear only flip flops so my feet aren't used to the rubbing. I really dont want to use bandaids because then my feet won't get used to them, but its too painful to walk with blisters. Any advice?

wear good quality socks and just give it time
Try wearing thicker socks and wear them to work or during the day other than just exercise.
