That's not where I get mine, but blisters are an issue for me too, even as short as I run.

On my two outside toes, I have to keep the calluses shaved. I normally run an inch or so of water in the tub to shave my legs (to save water) and I do the calluses at the same time (with a different razor blade of course - usually I just use a used razor blade that's too dull for shaving my legs). If I keep the calluses shaved, they won't get pushed back and forth and blister.

If I forget to shave and get a blister, Compeed strips let me walk and run without pain until it heals. Warm the strip in your hands before and after applying, like the directions say, and it will really conform to your toe.

On my arches, I use Blister Block. That stuff is a godsend. I resisted trying it for the longest time because I couldn't see how lubes wouldn't rub off the bottoms of my feet, but it works like a charm. Doesn't seem to do much for the under-callus blisters, though.
