Blisters

Everyone knows that good walking shoes are a MUST. My walking shoes have been well worn in. I've had them as my indoor exercise shoes for a few years. A few months ago they became my walking shoes as I began walking on a regular basis.
Just this last week I decided to add my ankle and hand weights. Does this change how my shoes rub on my feet? It must. That is all I can figure. All last week and now this week I am getting blisters on my feet.
I keep trying new things to alleviate the problem. I'm wearing longer socks and folding them over for extra protection. I changed to different ankle weights. Today I even used a fancy bandaid padding that only moved to a different place on my foot. I have another huge blister today.
Could I be walking funny? I just don't know what is causing this. Strange to walk for weeks without any problems and then begin getting blisters.
How do I allow the blisters to heal while continuing in my walking routine. Certainly breaking in new shoes cannot be the right answer for this. What do you think?

Hey Ginger,
Your blog is great, good job girl and keep up the good work. I hope things are going good as you get Mitch prepared to head out on his mission. We just sent Chris off yesterday. Wow, it is kinda emotional to put them on that plane alone.
