Well fit walker: A well fit lace up walking shoe that accomodates your orthotic. Thick cotton socks sport tyope as an interface between foot and orthotic.

Blister: Those are a good start , but you may need the orthotic adjusted , too. See the prescribing doc for that.

Check your socks: The other doctors have rightly had you look at your shoes and foot supports. If you walk a lot, avoid cotton socks- they can cause friction against the skin, look for runner's socks made of orlon, or mercerized wool (hiking socks) in colder weather. Hope this helps!
