What kind of lotion are you putting on your feet?
I always get blisters doing a HIM. I also always lose my second to biggest toenail on my right foot- even going up a 1/2 a shoe size. Right now that toe is nail less. Fortunately it doesn't hurt - except when I do yoga.(Child's pose)

Foot lotion - just something my mother in law bought me for Christmas in a happy feet kit (after I trashed my toenails in a marathon Thanksgiving weekend

) that I happened to have around... though I think I have some nice stuff that I bought earlier that I need to dig up. The stuff she got me is something called Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Foot Balm, with Aloe Vera and Chamomile. It does take a few days to work in, but if I am consistent with it (and occasionally having to dig out the file to file the callouses), it softens them nicely and they stay happy.
I have lost the second toenail a couple times - both mine have grown back so thick and weirdly shaped now that they will be hard to lose, but even in the right sized shoes I had trouble. Even now sometimes in the Five Fingers I clearly rub on the top of my second toe on my left foot and have blisters or tough skin there.
