MiamisweetheartX · Jan 20th, 2009, 08:30 PM

Hey guppies,

i have this crazt addiction for shoes i probably have over 150 pairs. Yes for real... i get atleast 2 a week. I recently bought this really nice closed back shoes and got horrible blisters from them. Now that i look in my closet i have another 5 pairs that are closed back and i cant wear them cause everytime i do, i get blisters. I usually wear these closed shoes to work or interviews or lyk school. Any idea how to control the blisters?

I was getting blisters from shoes, and my khala gave my mom this awesome tip that worked wonders! The shoes that I thought I wouldn't ever wear became comfortably wearable. Here is what you do. Take a candle and melt its wax. Take that soft melted wax and apply it inside the areas of your shoe that is causing your foot the most trouble. So, for example, if the toe area is hurting you the most, rub melted candle wax in that area of the shoe. AND NO DON'T WORRY, it's only wax, your shoes will not be ruined. It's a common remedy.

^ Both of those things didn't work for me.

Lots and lots of band-aids... until you break into the shoes.

Did the wax work for anyone?

wax thats interesting i might need to try that. But i have kinda wide feet i hate it and really looove shoes, i love to wear heels at work clik claking around but my feets after 2-3 hours start to kill i wish i had those sort of feet where i could wear anything :s
i think scholls do something for blisters dont they .?

break in your shoes by walking around in them wearing socks. (best to do while you're home

)

i looooveee shoes too, although i've closer to 60 pairs, not 150

i think you have to suck it up, take some tylenol and break them in!

yea thats what im doing but not all my shoes are closed back just these 5 tht i havnt been able to wear

I get rubber pads for the back of my shoes. I get blisters easily so most of my shoes have these thick rubber pads from Dr Scholls that stick onto the inside of the shoe and stay that to provide a cushion and comfortable fit. They helped sooooooooooooooooo much!!!

If that doesnt work...band aids are the way to go!

i bought the blisters from Boots...and they r the best...they r for back but i apply it anywhere where it hurts and so far its gr8!..always keep a pack in my purse when i am wearing such shoes...

MiamisweetheartX · Jan 27th, 2009, 06:35 PM

thanks guys
