Wore my brand new pair of court shoes today and got a severe case of blisters that it was so bad that I can't walk that I had to get a new pair of sandles so that I can carry on with my work!! Crying or Very sad

I wonder how true is the old wives' tale of ," Bite your shoes and it won't bite you" Kinda unsanitary to me I think Laughing

before i go off for my exercise, here's a tip: masking tape before wearing the shoes helps Razz

I opened this thread thinking that there would be shoe pics.
Aiyahhhhhhhhhhhhhh sad....

HAHHAAH...
Or be armed with lots of band aids.

huiz SG

it is gd to hav some plasters wif u when u wear new shoes out. u nv noe when u might need them. Wink

Ferret SG

Lemme get this right... You put the shoes in your mouth and bite it ?

YuCKs!

Anyway, you can try stuffing socks into the shoes to "wear" it out out for a few days before wearing em. Mr. Green

Speaking of this issue..
I still have war wounds from wearing those bloody 5 inch heels.
Big round metal bits biting into your feet.

elindra SG

plasters didn't work as well Sad

Ferret SG

Why 5 inch ?

huiz SG

maybe u started pasting plasters after the blisters came out really bad? for me if i can feel blisters coming up, i will start piaking plasters liao. Mr. Green

choco B SG

Yeah the plasters have got to go on before you wear them. Preventive measures. Wear stockings if possible. If these don’t help, then maybe the shoes are too small?

dont put plaster on blister ... hahha ... that wat happen to stupid me Mr. Green

got a big blister not yet burst ... so i itichy hand stick a plaster ... when i gg to bathe ... wanted to pull out the blaster ... the whole blister skin come out ... arghhh so painful .... one big hole .. when touch water pain like mad .. shampoo flow in .... worst ....

huiz SG

then u got try putting ur leg up on something while u continue ur bath? Laughing

meltz SG

no ... juz endure the pain .. and bathe as fast as i could Laughing

the Bear SG

back to the masking tape...

it's friction that causes the blisters...

what i do with my boots, is that i wear them for a few minutes, and figure out which parts rub.. then stick masking tape over those parts of my foot.. then socks..

the rubbing will be between the socks and the masking tape.. no blisters...

OR...

if you know which part of the shoe is causing the rubbing, use candle wax over that part.. or any other kind of wax that will stick and smooth the rough part away...

biting isn't going to help Laughing

huiz SG

i was practically thinking how biting can really help on this... Laughing

meltz SG

chew off all the sharp edges .. Mr. Green

Rhonda SG

I think biting the back heel of your shoe helps to soften the leather somewhat. Nothing to do with you biting it before it bites you! Laughing

I usually place a plaster on the parts of my feet that will most likely be 'pinched' by a new shoe. I've also used this shoe plaster by Scholl where you paste onto areas on the shoes that supposedly will hurt you. It helps a bit but after a day of walking, the adhesive tends to wear off.

Plaster your feet, and then put on socks or stockings. That usually works for me.

Come to think of it, it's been years since I last bought shoes that were uncomfortable and caused blisters.
