I walk a lot as I live in NYC. I'm car-less, not a huge fan of the stench in the subway, too poor for cabs and need the exercise. Thus I am in constant search for a solution to my blisters. My latest and most successful remedy is Blister Block:
This baby looks like a mini-stick of deodorant. You rub the "deodorant" all over spots where you anticipate your shoes rubbing and it prevents a blister! It really works. However when I'm out all day and on my feet in a new pair of shoes, I have to reapply it. Good thing the little stick is small enough to carry around in my purse. Another downside is that you have to be able to predict where your shoes are going to cause blisters. This takes a lot of experience and observation. The second I feel any rubbing I pull off my shoes and apply Blister Block. You have to be really disciplined about it. It only works as a preventative and it not so helpful once a blister has formed.

Nice tip! I used to live in DC and walked all the time - in heels! I could have used this.
That stuff would come in so handy for my son! lol
In NYC I used to suffer with blistering feet, now that I am in AZ-I think the lack of humidity has helped. I chuckled a bit at the thought of you hopping along the sidewalk trying to apply your magical blister formula as soon as you felt the rub. I'm silly. Peace...
good to know - my daughter always gets blisters - i'll have to be on the look out for it.
thanks for sharing the tip..
Wow--what a cool product! I may have to try that out the next time I get new shoes. Thanks for the tip.
Smiles, Karen

This is such a great tip! Maybe I'll actually start wearing heels.
