If you're getting blisters from walking/standing there are only a few things that it can be. Your shoes don't fit right and it's causing friction or pressure on certain parts of your foot. Or there's too much moisture, which means you need better socks and/or shoes that breathe more.
Since they're on the bottom of your foot, I would guess it's probably your foot sliding back and forth in the shoe. Could be you need a smaller size or maybe the insole just doesn't fit properly. Could also be an issue with how you lace your shoes. Sometimes the stores that carry high end running shoes will have people who can help you make sure the fit is right.
If you're already dropping ~$200 on shoes you might want to look into seeing a foot doctor. If you have health insurance it might even cover a lot of the cost. This route is way more expensive with health insurance, easily $500+ but might still be worth it if you run into this problem regularly with different shoes (although very possible you're just wearing the wrong size)
