Taken up running recently and have a crippling problem with trainers rubbing on the backs of my heels. The trainers are fitted and seem to be up to the job but is there anything else I can do to help this problem? I have tried thick socks and plasters to no avail. Thanks.

Never heard of this before. Sounds like you need to harden the skin at the heel. If you are a newbie then i think this is probably it, go for shorter runs until it hardens over in a couple of months.

i had this problem with a pair of trainers once, it was due to them being too big, about a size bigger than my normal size.

you say they are fitted, but are they loose or do you need to tie them tight?
