Wedding Shoes = BLISTERS!

Hi Rachel

Have you tried compeed? They are blister plasters. I bought some shoes recently (not wedding just work) I put compeed in them and after about a day they were fine.

I get my younger sister who is half a size bigger than me to wear my shoes in, and it works a treat as i get blisters really easily, and she never does which is very annoying

Maybe give it a few days without wearing them, and wait for the blister to heal. That way the skin there will be a bit thicker, and the shoes won't hurt next time you wear them...

I used to love DMs, and part of the initiation of new DMs was getting blisters *everywhere*, but once you'd got a blister and it had gone, they would never hurt again and became the most comfortable boots in the world!

Best tip I ever had is to rub vaseline n the offending area inside the shoe and your foot if neccessary . Get a small pot of the vaseline lip balm and reapply whenever you need . It is fantastic ! Also moleskin. You can buy it in Boots and cut it to size ! Good luck x

I suffer with blisters really bad, even flip flops give me them!! I bought a compeed anti friction stick and its brilliant. And I have heel shields in all my shoes. I wish compeed made full socks to prevent blisters! Hmmm dragons den methinks...I will be plastering up on my big day!

Are they rubbing because of the socks as they are thicker than hosiery and may be causing the friction. Try them with pop socks and see if they still rub in the same area.

Right, I'm giving it a few days to get rid of these angry blisters and then trying compeed! Thanks all! Wish I had a sister or friend willing to break them in for me too lol!

I second compeed, I had to use them when I started running, they are fabulous!

Try use one of those wooden shoe expander things in the shoes when you arent wearing them.

If they're giving you blisters then they're not really the right size - they're probably the wong width fitting rather than shoes size.

Compeed might work, I use the anti-blister stick and it's brilliant.

Are they leather? If so a generous glob of leather conditioner or neatsfoot oil will soften them up.

Or toughen your feet up (once the blisters have healed) with an old dancer's trick - rub surgical spirit into the affected areas.

Where exactly are the blister? on your toes or at the heel?

I also recommend Compeed pads, they make several different ones for different parts of your foot.
