New Shoes -_-"
-
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!!
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
-
before i go off for my exercise, here's a tip: masking tape before wearing the shoes helps
-
I opened this thread thinking that there would be shoe pics.
Aiyahhhhhhhhhhhhhh sad....
Yeah bite the darn mofo!
HAHHAAH...
Or be armed with lots of band aids. -
it is gd to hav some plasters wif u when u wear new shoes out. u nv noe when u might need them.
-
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.

Speaking of this issue..
I still have war wounds from wearing those bloody 5 inch heels.
Big round metal bits biting into your feet. -
plasters didn't work as well

Why 5 inch ?Originally posted by Lingos:Speaking of this issue..

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.
-
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?

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

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!
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. -

Wearing stockings helps, or those mini stockings that can hide within the shoes, although not very well sometimes.Originally posted by Rhonda:Plaster your feet, and then put on socks or stockings. That usually works for me.
Hmm...so it sounds like most ladies here don't usually wear stockings unless they need to season their new shoes? Yaayyy! I dislike stockings and esp having to wash them. -
alternatively, u could use soap bar.. thats what i did... when i had to wear those stupid shoes last timeOriginally posted by the Bear:OR...

biting isn't going to help
hmm but u'd have to redo that every few days.. cos the soap will kinda wear off or sth -
