Ah… I love nothing more than finding the perfect shoelace with a mile-high heel on it. They make your legs look incredibly long, show off your leg, and give you blisters. Oh well, two out of three.
But you don’t have to enjoy the look and freedom of Summer’s heels. Here are the things we will try;
1) There is a tried and true and cheap method: regular support. They work a lot in the traps around your pipe, the straps are wide enough to cover. There are also those little handwritten notes for small cuts that would be just the right size for those fabulous new shoes. It’s a good idea to pick up one of those odd-sized packs of band aids they have on hand for a variety of shoes. When you find the right width for a pair, you’ll want to put a few of that size in a plastic bag, and put the bag in the toe of the shoe (or the strap attached if the shoes are open toed), so you don’t have to search for the right size when you put on the next pair.
2) surgical tape or cloth. This is more likely to cause blisters that result from slight friction. You can get surgical tape at your drugstore, and tape at the grocery store or sewing shop. The benefit of this type of belt is that you can adjust it to exactly the size you need for your new Manoli or Jimmy Choo’s. And you can find a fleshy shade, If it shows a little, it will not be noticeable.
3) Double sided tape. If you have a very thin shoe without much support (like high-heeled mules) spray the inside of the shoe with hair. /a> put the socks in front of your foot (to give you a little more traction if you don’t shoot too fast – and if you step out of your shoes, your foot will easily come off, hopefully hurting you). Next, place one side of the double-sided tape over your foot where the straps go, and place the straps on the other side of the candle. You are protected from blisters and your shoes stay on all day.
4) Band-Aid brand Advanced Blister Healing Pillow. You have enough shoes to walk in, they feel good. You’ll slip them one day, as you bump your head – only to come home with incredible pain. > It would wear off at the end of the day. If you already have a blister, this will keep your heels healthy and prevent new blisters from forming while you wear the cushion; there’s no need to sacrifice sestive fashion while you’re dealing with a pimple. These are especially good with wedge shoes or espadrilles – there’s usually enough coverage where you can’t see the cushion.
5) Band-Aid Brand just came out with a new product – Band-Aid Active-Flex Blister Block. This great product is an invisible slip clip that is like a deodorant stick and protects against friction preventing blisters. Super-fast, easy, invisible – if your shoes include a little more than a heel, foot, and tiny, small straps to keep your foot in, this is the best option. After all, you spent all the money on your shoes to prevent your lice, not your blisters.
Pimples are annoying – but they’re not a necessary part of summer if you know what to do. Use these tips, get out your credit card, and buy the lace-up shoes you’ve been eyeing!
