Add heel lifts and mole skin: Adding mole skin and heel lifts can help. Also if your shoes are more than 400 miles, it's time to change them.

Spenco second skin: spenco second skin is great as blister protection. You can also use "moleskin" The back of the heel is a common place for blisters, Do your shoes fit well?
