Preventing blisters in the shoes you have to have


We all have at least one pair of shoes that look amazing, but they aren't exactly comfortable. And lets face it, putting on a bandage doesn't always work, and it doesn't look that cute when you have a rolled up bandage hanging out of the back of your shoe. Dont just let those stunning shoes sit in your closet, wear them without pain. Have no fear ladies, here is a cheap remedy that will hopefully work for you.


"Band-Aid" makes a product called the Active Friction Block Stick. It is a silicone-based lubricant that you apply like a deodorant stick to the areas where you get blisters. It adds an extra layer of protection, so that you can put your shoes on, and ENJOY wearing them. This product is not limited to dress shoes, and its definately not limited to females only. For all you athletes out there, this is a great product to use to prevent not only blisters, but chafing as well. You can use it under the arms, between the thighs, on the heels etc. , to help prevent discomfort caused by friction (skin irritation caused by rubbing of the skin).


This product usually runs around $7, and it is totally worth it. You can find Band-Aid Active Friction Block Stick at participating Wal- Mart locations ($5.38) to check the availability in your area click here www.walmart.com/ip/band-aid-r-stick-friction-block-tm.34oz/12167313 and enter your zip code . And for the online shoppers, here are a couple of placed you can find this product: http://www.americarx.com/ ($5.53) or http://www.amazon.com/ ($6.99). Hope this helps to prevent painful blisters and chafing. Let me know how it works for you.
