I don’t want to be too dramatic, but over the weekend I sacrificed myself (or more so, my feet) for the sake of every woman and man reading this article. I have no doubt that many of you know the pain of having a beautiful pair of shoes that go with your outfit, but leave you with possibly the world’s most painful blisters afterwards. And for some silly reason you keep wearing them thinking that eventually they’ll stop causing you such pain, and also because they’re integral to your outfit when you decide to wear them.
For so long, beauty has been synonymous with pain. But keep reading, because I am about to change your world.
Blister Balm is an all natural, all Australian company, that has created what some would call the Holy Grail when it comes to protecting your feet while being ridiculously stylish. The waxy formula is made up of a combination of beeswax, mango butter and isopropyl myristate, and comes in a handy little tube so you can grab it and apply on the go, travel with it, or just keep it in your bathroom for future use.
If you’re hesitant that this is just another gimmick, then let me assure you that it’s not. I wasn’t kidding when I said I sacrificed myself for the benefit of you all – I wore my most uncomfortable boots all weekend just to test this out. I would always get blisters on the sides of my feet and soles whenever I wore them (something I would often do because I love these boots).
But this time was different. I applied a little bit of Blister Balm on the problem areas and wore them all day Saturday and Sunday to test it out. And by Sunday night post-work, there was not a blister in sight.
It’s best used as a preventative measure, so next time you want to wear those boots*, make sure you have Blister Balm readily accessible, and you’ll never feel the discomfort from shoe chaffing again!
*replace with any shoe style that causes you pain
