bossmum1 Posted September 14, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi girls i have just bought a pair of pumps to take on my cruise on Saturday. Sure as eggs is eggs they are going to rub my heels, plasters to the ready. Has anyone any tips to help soften the heel of my pumps, Chrissy.

Beanie01 Posted September 14, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Try those cushioned stick-on things that go inside the shoe, depending on what area you need it for. The drug store sells all kinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
househunter Posted September 14, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2009 If your shoes are 100% leather and they fit correctly, they should not rub on your heel. It sounds like they are too small. I never buy shoes that aren't comfortable. Man made materials are almost always going to hurt your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajpack Posted September 14, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I always have trouble with that and I buy all leather shoes. Foot Petals has a product and also DSW has something. I have bought both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KandCsailing Posted September 14, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I found Dr. Scholl's® For Her Rub Relief™Stick in my drug store and picked one up that second. Packaging says: -Helps prevent shoe rubbing -Anti-friction stick glides on silky smooth and creates an invisible barrier between skin and shoes -Instantly protects feet from irritation and shoe rubbing -Portable and easy to use I haven't had a chance to use it, but I get blisters really quickly from dress shoes and anything is worth a try. I've been buying mostly backless or sling-backs to get me through the warmer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 14, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Buy some MOLESKIN--any drugstore has it. Cut it to fit the heel of your shoe, and stick it in there...it will last and last...and you won't have to worry with "plasters" (band-aids!)... Properly fitting shoes should NEVER cause blisters!

BroncosFan2010 Posted September 15, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2009 If they are leather, you can buy some Mink Oil and rub on them. It will soften the leather and seal and protect them as well. The softening will allow you to break in the spots that rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted September 15, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Have a shoe repair place stretch them. Wear hose. Moisturize your feet before wearing. If you blister, antibiotic band-aids help them heal quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvmypuggle Posted September 15, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Carry band-aids just in case those foot-rubbing prevention methods don't work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
