Make sure the shoes fit correctly, use good socks.
Keep your feet dry, you can use powder or Vaseline to help prevent blisters.
You don't need special shoes, just good running shoes that fit properly.
If you have a spot that is getting a blister for no good reason buy some mole skin to protect it.

You've gotten some good responses so far ... most important, wear shoes that fit, and wear good shoes. Indeed, NO cotton socks, get a good pair of running socks at a running store ...
I'm not a big fan of Vaseline, too goopy, but you can buy something called Two Toms blister sheild, it's a silicon based powder you sprinkle in your socks before running ..
And you can always tape your feet. Use something called tincture of benzoin (ask for it at the drug store pharmacy counter) and apply it to the taping area about a minute before adding tape, it makes the area sticky so the tape won't come loose. Band Aids generally get soggy and come off and make things worse after a few miles.
If you're really serious, there's a great book called "Fixing Your Feet" that is great, I've used it and learned a ton from it.

Put bandaids on the spots where you do have/usually get blisters before you head out for a run.
Non cotton socks are the best to wear to prevent blisters.
"Special" running shoes aren't required, though your running shoes do need to be the correct size and fit properly. A different shoe can make all the difference.

Cross-training Nike shoes are often the best running shoe.
Breatheable socks are very important. It reduces friction between your feet and shoe, reducing blistering.

Blisters were a phase for me. Try this
1. Use thin socks and turn them inside out so the smooth surface is against your feet.
2. Use Vaseline all over your feet before you run.
Eventually, you will "outrun" the blisters.
Good Luck
