If you’ve ever suffered from summer sandal\/shoe ravaged feet, raise your hand.\u00a0 Yeah, that’s what I figured.\u00a0 Every girl has.\u00a0 As much as we’d like to march ourselves right into\u00a0Naturaliser to buy\u00a0comfortable, sensible shoes – they are just never cute enough (for anyone who works outside the health services field, anyway).<\/p>\n
After four days of wearing sandals this season, and four days of new blisters in places on my feet that I didn’t know I could blister, I had to do something.\u00a0 I went into the nearest drugstore and found an aisle full of promises of blister prevention and pain relief.\u00a0 Too late.\u00a0 At this point even wearing slippers was excruciating.\u00a0 But I knew\u00a0something had be done\u00a0to prevent more blisters from forming (probably on top of old blisters at this point), so I persisted.\u00a0 And then I saw it.\u00a0 All wrapped up its\u00a0pretty package…waiting just for me.<\/p>\n
What I found was a Band Aid Blister Stick.\u00a0 I’d quote the proper name or post a picture, but it doesn’t seem to exist on the\u00a0internet…ANYWHERE.\u00a0 It looks like a mini deodorant stick and when applied,\u00a0it is supposed to lubricate so as to prevent the sandal\/shoe from sticking, rubbing, pinching and cutting into parts of your feet.\u00a0\u00a0It sounds simple\u00a0enough,\u00a0but I was\u00a0still skeptical.\u00a0BUT, with no other option, I thought I would give\u00a0the Blister Stick\u00a0a try anyway.\u00a0 POOF!\u00a0 It worked like magic.\u00a0 Seriously.\u00a0 My feet have never been so happy at this point in the season.\u00a0 Ever.\u00a0 Not a blister or\u00a0red splotch since.\u00a0 And I’ve even pushed the envelope by prancing around in some of my worst blister culprits (a.k.a. the cuter shoes in my repertoire).<\/p>\n
So here I am.\u00a0 Blister free and vehemently backing this new mysterious product.\u00a0 I can’t guarantee you’ll find it at a store near you (Band Aid doesn’t even list it on their site), but last time I checked they were still being sold at the Shopper’s Drug Mart at the corner of Metcalfe and Slater Streets.\u00a0 Seeing as I can’t find it anywhere else, I’m\u00a0starting to question if I really did find this blister prevention stick at the drug store…or\u00a0maybe I magically shrunk down a Lady’s Speed Stick to doll size\u00a0and have been applying it\u00a0to my feet everyday by mistake.\u00a0 I can’t be that crazy, can I?\u00a0 Don’t answer that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
