Anyone know how to get rid of blisters from shoes?

[beer]

My feet are all torn up at my heel and at my second toe on both my feet. It's from my cleats. Does anyone know how I can stop it from happening? Bandaids don't work, and I can't wear multiple layers of socks..

Try some titties.

I never got any blisters from shoes. I guess if I saw some shoes with blisters I'd just leave un there.

Moon, he is trying to convey that his feet are the recipient of the blisters, lol.

Pop it and let it all OoOoze out. 😉

Sounds like the symptoms of improper fitting shoes to me.

That's what you get for buying cleats at Payless, ya CHEAP BASTARD! :Q

Perhaps also use some form of footspray to keep em dry, less friction and less STINK!

Use a needle and spear it and let the liquid drain, then soak your feet in warm salt water and it will die down after afew days.

Most of your problem is from poor fitting shoes, but you could also get sore feet from long period of walking/running in good shoes. A trick that I learned from being a rodie (bicyling) is to use hockey-stick tape to tape my feet, then silk sock then tie my shoes laces really tight, then wrap tapes around my cleats tighly.

Moleskin is awesome stuff. You can put a couple layers on around a blister if you don't wanna pop it. Try getting the cleats wet and letting them dry on your feet.. the leather should form fit to your foot that way. Buy better cleats in the future.. I invested in cleats that cost upwards of $100 when I was playing soccer alot (7 days a week) and never had troubles with blisters.

If you go to shoe repair shop or some shoe stores, they should carry a red little bottle labeled &quot;Shoe/Leather Stretcher&quot; or something along that line. It's for those people who have different size feet, irregular fit (shapes) and women's shoes that need to be perfect fit. (IE: high heels, etc...) You soak your shoes while wearing them and walk around until they're dry and the shoes should countour around the shape of your feet.


Other than that, do invest on &quot;Moleskin&quot; everyones telling you about. It's definitely well worth the money (no pain). These two things help me out through 7yrs of walking, running, jumping and stumbling. (US Army Infantry)

I agree, sounds like improper fit, namely too large. If they are not too too large, they make these &quot;tongue pads&quot; that you affix to the shoe tongue, which takes up the slack and will make your shoes fit more properly. Basically, it shifts your foot backward in the shoe a little and takes up the gap around your ankle, preventing slipping (which is likely the cause of your problem).

How about a band-aide with an ace sock over it...

Geez... I know that hurts!!

I would suggest wearing different shoes and let the blister dry out and heal, but cleats sound like you would be wearing those on a weekly basis...

Good luck!

just wet shoes in water &amp; let them dry on your feet. they will then fit better. don't need a special treatment.

then treat shoes with a leather dressing.

If you *do* decide to lance the blister, PLEASE make sure you sterilize the needle first (rubbing alcohol...passing it through a flame can leave soot on the needle).

While you're not wearing your cleats, I'd suggest not staying in sweaty socks any longer than you have to (when I played soccer, we changed shoes/socks as soon as possible after games/practice) and make sure other shoes you're wearing fit well and aren't making the blisters any worse. Clean your cleats too, so they don't get all stiff from mud/etc.

If you have *good* leather cleats, I seem to recall being able to just soak them in water and putting them on, then walking around till they dry. (or maibee it was putting them on, soaking them, taking them off to dry...same general idea).

In any case, buy new cleats as soon as you can afford to...and make sure the new pair does fit properly. Search yahoo for lots of guides on buying a pair of good/properly fitted cleats.
