Before you slip into strappy sandals, try applying a blister prevention stick like Sole Goddess Blister Protection Foot Balm, $18.75, to areas where you usually get blisters -- the bottom of your soles, around ankles where ankle straps hit and on your big and pinky toes. These products glide on like a deodorant and reduce your risk of being rubbed raw.
If your feet have already succumbed to blisters, don't -- we repeat -- don't pop them. According to Phil Vasyli, a podiatrist based in Sydney, Aus., this disrupts the healing process and makes them susceptible to infection. Instead, cover existing blisters with breathable gauze and let them dry up and disappear on their own. Image Source: Trend Council
