If you have a large piece of moleskin you might want to put it on overtop of the burn pad for some extra protection.

this is the right path imho.....except...rather than putting mole skin on it go to the pharmacy and look for mole foam....much thicker....cut out a rectangle piece that will cover your blister as well as wrap around the heel a bit so it will stay put....now fold the foam piece in half length wise and cut out a semi circle half as big as your blister..so that when you unfold it there is a hole that is as big as your blister....peel the backing off the foam and place the piece on your heel so the cut out hole goes directly over your blister(or open blister in this case). you may want to even cut a second one and put it on top of the first piece....but usually one "doughnut" is enough. this will keep the blister as well as the second skin away from your shoes etc...i would recommend sandals/flipflops till it toughens up a bit...when you do go to put on your shoes again put a long piece of duct tape (nice and slippery not grippy like hockey tape) over the whole area...doughnut and all....again this will decrease the friction and keep the blistered area away from your heel pocket in your shoe.
