Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

So what might be a solution to the problem? I'm kind of wondering if a different sock might help. While these (Asics technical sock of some sort) are very snug through the toes, they are designed to fit a range of foot sizes, so there is some slack at the back of the sock, right where I am blistering. I've used moleskin in the past, but find that it tends to sweat off and I think a loose piece of moleskin floating around back there might make matters worse.

It could also be that your right foot is longer than your left, which would make the right shoe's fit a little tighter and could explain the rubbing. It's not uncommon to have one foot longer than the other. Mine are different by 1/4 of an inch.
Eventually, if it's not a really bad rub, I'll bet you'll form a really sexy callus back there... we runners have beautiful feet, right?
