How to Protect Feet From Uncomfortable Shoes/Heels

For those who are wearing uncomfortable shoes or heels or even if you're just breaking in new shoes, my personal motto is: shoes break you in while you're breaking them in. To protect your tootsies from blisters and chafing of the skin, follow this tip to ensure hours of long-lasting wear without any pain.

Things You'll Need

• Blister block gel
• Band aids (optional)

Instructions

1. Before you slip your feet into shoes, invest in a great gel guard product that you can buy in any drugstore. Several different brands have one, but Band-Aid's Blister Block Stick is a recommended one.

2. These sticks are like a dry gel formula and are packaged like a roll-on deodorant. Just turn the bottom dial and the product rolls up.

3. Simply glide the product across all your toes and even on the sides of your feet. The product dries immediately on contact. It acts as an invisible barrier, like a band aid, guarding the skin from any blistering.

4. Know that real band aids act as a backup to protect against chaffing and cuts.

Tips & Warnings

• Since the blister block is small and portable, you can just pop it into your bag for instant coverage or needed touch ups.
