For years I have stayed away from those cute shoes in the store window, or the newest fashion trends in sandals, because I was always afraid of “breaking them in.” I hated getting those blisters on the backs of my heels. The foot pain associated with wearing a new pair of cute shoes was just not worth it!

Well, enter Band-Aid ® Active Flex Blister Block  Stick!!! I was so excited when I saw the television commercial the other day, that I ran right out to purchase it.  It claimed to stop the friction of your skin rubbing against the back of your shoe.  WOW! I thought if this works, it will change the way I look at shoes!  No more buying just for comfort in hopes of preventing blisters on my feet.

This was opening up a whole new window for me, especially after being envious of all the cute and stylish shoes my coworker wears (ahem…Elana!). Now I can wear them too!

So, when Monday morning came, I couldn’t wait to try it. I applied the Blister Block to the back of my heels (like applying chapstick) and slipped on my new, black, peep toe pumps!  After about two hours of wearing them, I noticed that my heels were…FINE!!!  Because I was a little unsure about the product, I brought it with me to work, and reapplied another coat around 11 a.m. After the eight hour day, I was fine! I am proud to say that I had no blisters either.

To be sure that it was not a fluke, I tried the Blister Block again the next day with a pair of strappy sandals. This time, I applied it to my heel and on the side of feet near my toes – where the sandal straps touched. Again, after the eight hour day, NO FOOT BLISTERS! 

So, I can say with confidence: I love Blister Block by Band-Aid ®.  Every girl should carry one in her purse!
