That's honestly hard to say. But as blisters are typically due to a poorly fit shoe creating friction, I might think they'll be ok. These fit me just about perfectly and seem to be true to size. But, please don't take my word for it. I'm not prone to blisters myself, so my perspective may not be right for you.
@@BlackSunBoxing OK. Yes thats true it can be other factors. my main concern is my walking style as i go with barefoot shoes 24/7 . did you say you are a barefooter and they are fine? thanks
I've had them nearly a year now, and I've used them only as street shoes (so, really quite abusive per their intended purpose). I had to super glue the edges of the soles down because the Phoenix heat beat up the original glue, but the soles themselves are still in OK condition. The soles don't have any sidewalls, so the synthetic upper on the heel has worn significantly from normal walking, and that's probably my biggest complaint. The last month the mesh part of the upper has started to rip, but that might have been from snagging it on something (I can't remember). I'd definitely recommend them as mat shoes, but probably not as street shoes.
Hey, it's sounding better 👍
Thanks! I learned how to adjust my audio, finally!
Hey im interested in getting these - how are they if you are prone to blisters?

How have they held up so far?
