How to prevent blisters with new shoes !!

Firstly when you buy any shoe make sure you try them on and walk around in the store to be sure that it doesnt start hurting the moment you put them on.

Not all new shoes result in blisters. Some shoes need more time than other shoes to become comfortable to be worn for longer stretch of time. High heels especially take longer time to become comfortable enough to be worn for longer periods.

The main things to be kept in mind before you start wearing the new shoes for longer duration of time is to wear the shoes with your regular socks for short duration when in home. This will stretch the shoes and thereby making them more comfortable to use for longer periods when you venture out.

- Second most important thing that you need to do is after using the shoes you will come know which parts of the shoeshurts and is more uncomfortable. Get moleskin from the local drugstore. Apply these strips directly to your feet or to the shoe at the places where it hurts. This will create a barrier between the shoe and your skin.

- Also keep your feet moisturized because the shoes hurt more when the skin is dry. Dry skin is more vulnerable, so it would get cut easily at the places where the shoes dig in your feet.

- Also if the shoes still hurts then another option is to apply vaseline to the shoe directly as this will make the shoe material softer making it more easy and comfortable for the feet to adjust.

Try them out I am sure next time you walk out with you new shoes you wont be worried about the blisters.
