How to Prevent Cuts and Blisters


Here, a few ways to protect you from blisters, cuts and other icky injuries–without forgoing style, of course.
Prevent rubbing Before strapping yourself into a new pair of gladiators (same goes for flip-flops), coat your feet with a blister-preventing balm.
Keep your feet in place It’s basic gravity: Sweaty feet slide forward. Keep those suckers where they should be by inserting nonslip pads into your shoes. We also suggest–and bear with us here–using medical tape to secure your pinkie toe to its little-piggy neighbor. This combats the painful smushing commonly associated with peep-toes.

Have spare flats on hand We don’t care how small your purse is; you can fit a pair of roll-up ballet flats in there. Pop ’em on when your stilettos give out.
