Forgive the photo - I really need help

I’ve run for about 12 years and love it. However, I have a really bad problem with pronation (espescially on left foot), which leads to very severe shear friction blisters across the soles of my feet.

At least 5 times I have pretty much ripped the soles of my feet off and despite trying tape, it continues to happen.

I’ve bee able to run a 2:37 marathon and 15:39 5K, but this is really holding me back and is driving me mentally insane.

From research it seems that I should try low friction socks, and hefty amounts of Vaseline or another lubricant. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I have not seen anything as severe as this and I would really appreciate some help

Thanks guys
