I have a blister on my foot. And i need to get them off asap. Any ideas? I got them from walking 8 blocks in boots.

Many people will probably disagree, but I pop them after sundown.
I just put a small hole in it and get the fluid out and then bandage it lightly, the skin can reattach and just become hard but not painful as the skin underneath heals and then releases the dead skin.
You have to make sure you do it at a time that nothing will be touching the area for a few hours, so as not to tear the loose skin off, this would make it even sorer without the skin protecting the area.
Keep a loose bandage on it for a few days for added protection also.

Drain the fluid with gentle pressure, then apply an antibiotic ointment such as bacitracin with polymyxin B (double antibiotic ointment) or bacitracin alone. Avoid ointments that contain neomycin because they are more likely to cause an allergic reaction.
Then, cover the blister with a bandage. Change the dressing daily—more frequently if it becomes wet, soiled, or loose
