I had Altra trail runners with a wide toe box and zero drop. The zero drop part was where I went wrong. I had issues with my achilles until I put in inserts. The wide toe turned out to be good. I had very few blisters and the ones I did have didn't hurt.

Yea it takes time to adjust to zero drop. I've gone fully minimalist, no support for the last 15 years but it takes time for the feet to build up. Really rocky trails (like the presidential range in NH) are the only times I wish I had more cushion and support lol

As for blisters- did you wear two pairs of socks? The friction happens between the socks and not your feet if you double up

I didn't wear two pairs of socks but the socks I had were wool so maybe that helps?

Wool definitely helps. I've typically worn a super thin wool ankle sock then a thicker full length wool one like darn tough or smartwool on the outside
