My 'pologies for not being inspired as late to write. However my work station at work just died via burnt fuse, so instead of twiddling my fingers, I thought I'd write of my new shoes and the pain of breaking in the 'new'.
I bought a pair of cute slip on ked style shoes, which fit magnificently at the store, but when worn in reality, decided to plant a blister on all four contact points on my feet. I had barely walked for 5 minutes, and I already knew that back up shoes would be necessary.
I barely limped into work, where I spent the rest of the day either barefoot or in flip flop sandals I'd left here for when I go swimming. Thank the gods for that.
Just when I had resolved myself I never wear the adorable (sadistic) things again, my co-worker told me she applies scotch tape to her blisters and the harder plastic protects and sticks better than your average band-aid!!
Though truly ghetto, I was willin to try anything to not be in pain. And what d'ya know... It worked! Even on the really sensitive raw skin!
I felt extremely enthusiastic as well when I put on the mean-ass shoes and was mostly fine! About an hour later my heel tape had split right down the middle, but it had held on reasonably well!
This also works with blister that haven't popped yet, as well as a preventative measure!
There, now you know. Go my friends, be blister free and fabulous! :)
