Products for When Your Cute Shoes Are Trying to Kill You
15
items I refuse to accept that cute shoes automatically have to hurt lol. I’ve had way too many nights where a perfectly good outfit was ruined because my heels were slipping, the back of my shoe was rubbing, or I could feel a blister forming approximately ...
THIS is the kind of product I wish someone had handed me years ago. You swipe it directly onto the spots where your shoes normally rub and it creates a barrier that helps prevent all that friction before it turns into a blister. I’d put this on BEFOR...
Megababe Blister & Heel Rescue Anti-Friction Foot Stick - 0.81oz
If I already HAVE the blister, these are what I want in my bag. The pack comes with different sizes for heels, toes and the sides of your feet, which is so much more useful than realizing the bandage you brought is completely wrong for wherever your ...
Compeed Blister Care Cushions Mixed sizes, 10 CT
You know when a shoe TECHNICALLY fits but your heel keeps popping out every time you walk? These go inside the back of the shoe to help fill that tiny bit of extra space while also cushioning the exact area that usually starts rubbing. Such a good fi...
Foot Petals Back of Heel Cushions
THIS is for that very specific heel pain where the balls of your feet start burning and suddenly every step feels personal. These little gel cushions sit right under that pressure point and also help stop your foot from sliding forward. I’d absolutel...
Dr. Scholl's Love Your Heels & Wedges Ball of Foot Cushions - Women's Shoe Size 6-10 - 1 Pair
Regular Band-Aids on heel blisters somehow always end up crumpled inside my shoe, so I MUCH prefer something actually made for this area. These are hydrocolloid and shaped to cover heel blisters while cushioning them from the shoe. I would genuinely ...
Band-Aid Brand Hydro Seal Adhesive Bandages for Heel Blisters
Okay THIS is exactly the type of weirdly useful find I wanted for this list. Instead of buying one random cushion and hoping it fixes the problem, this little kit gives you different gel pieces for different pain points, including the ball of your fo...
Fab Feet Women's by Foot Petals Gel Shoe Cushions Emergency Kit - Clear
Moleskin is one of those boring little products nobody tells you about until you desperately need it. You can literally cut this to the exact size and shape of wherever your shoe is creating friction, so it’s amazing for those random little hot spots...
ZenToes Moleskin Padding - Motion Mosaic - 2ct
I’d throw these into my bag before a travel day, concert, long city day or literally any situation involving cute shoes + 15,000 steps. They’re hydrocolloid blister bandages with waterproof cushioning, so they’re made for exactly those days when you ...
Nexcare Blister Waterproof Bandages - 6ct
Different problem but IMPORTANT. Sometimes the shoe is perfectly comfortable and the issue is that the bottom has approximately zero traction. These stick onto the sole to add grip, which I especially appreciate with dress shoes because nothing ruins...
Fab Feet Women's by Foot Petals No-Slip Treads Shoe Pads Black/White - 2 pairs
I love that this pack has mixed sizes because my shoes apparently enjoy finding completely new places to hurt me every time. These use hydrogel cushioning to protect painful blisters on your heels, toes and feet while they heal. I’d keep these as the...
Dr. Scholl's Blister Cushions Seal and Heal Bandage Mixed Sizes Foot Pain Treatments - 12ct
Okay this is beyond “my shoe rubbed a little.” This is for the blister that has officially become the main event of your evening. The kit includes 4% lidocaine pain-relief patches plus blister-care supplies, so I’d keep this at home for the aftermath...
Dr. Scholl's Blister Lidocaine 4% Foot Pain Relief Kit - 24ct
If you already KNOW exactly where a certain pair of shoes rubs, this makes so much sense. Instead of waiting for the blister, put the strip over that spot first so the shoe is rubbing against the tape rather than repeatedly rubbing your skin. This is...
KT Health Blister Prevention Multi-Pack, 30 CT
The inexpensive version of the trick I swear more people should know about. Cut off a little piece, put it wherever your shoe is creating friction and suddenly you have cushioning exactly where YOU need it instead of where a shoe insert company guess...
CVS Moleskin Padding, 3 CT
Because heels are NOT the only shoes capable of betrayal. If the actual issue is pressure under the ball of your foot, these are designed to lift and cushion that area instead of just adding random padding throughout the entire shoe. I love a product...
Dr. Scholl's Ball of Foot Pain Relief Orthotics, One Size, 1 pair
Ending with the affordable option because you absolutely do not need luxury blister bandages lol. You get 12 hydrocolloid cushions for $7, and they’re specifically designed for painful blisters on your toes and feet. Buy them BEFORE you need them bec...
CVS Hydrocolloid Blister Care Cushions, 12 CT
