An alleric reaction. STOP SCRATCHING THEM. get some itch cream and some antihisemines from the drug store. you're fine don't put tape on your skin anymore.

You wore blisters on the back of your poor feet, and it sounds like you had a reaction to the tape. Soak your feet in Epsom's salt (warm water) for a good half hour and blot dry. Apply some antibiotic cream to your heals 3 to 4 times a day and you might want to put on a non-stick bandage so that you don't keep ripping the sores open. When your home, 'shoe free' is the way to go whenever you can, without the bandage, so that you can get some air to your injuries. Good luck and I hope you find more comfortable shoes next time, but we've all done this :)

The other guys are right, they are blisters. Was the itching only where the tape was at? Was there any redness around the area? You may have contact dermatitis (allergic to the tape adhesive) on top of the blisters. They'll go away.

You probably have blisters either from friction of loose shoes or reaction to the adhesive in the tape.
You should keep the blisters covered; stay away from the tape you used in your shoes & put some hydrocortisone cream on them if they keep itching. They should be gone in a few days. See your doc if they won't heal.

They are blisters... the rubbing of the tape and the friction it gave off...also the heel of the shoe... caused them and just make sure they don't get infected by cleaning them till they heal and making sure they are covered up

If you mean you applied the tape directly to your skin, you might be having an allergic reaction to it.

You're joking, right? The lack of education in today's society is overwhelmingly pathetic.
It's a blister. Do a search in Google. You'll learn what it is.

It's blisters. Rub it and break it and then wash your feet.
