My ballet flats hurt really bad at the heel?

Question

Because of the friction when I'm walking, my heel rubs against the heel of the ballet flat and it hurts really bad. I have these blister looking red things on my heel now. It stings when I wash my feet sometimes. But they are SO cute I can't stop wearing them. What do I do to stop the pain? Will band-aids work?

Answer 1

Bandaids over a blister will only cushion them for a while. The blisters need to heal and dry up. To toughen up your feet try soaking them in powdered alum (bought from the drugstore); and follow the directions. We used that in my ballerina days to toughen up our feet to help prevent blisters. Also instead of putting bandaids on your heels, try lining the back part of your shoe with a bandaid or "moleskin" (a Dr. Scholls product".

Answer 2

It's a possibility that they're too short for your foot. Dr. Scholls makes heel guards that you stick in the back of your shoes to protect your heels, they should be available in the foot care department of your local Wal-Mart .

Answer 3

Dr.Scholls makes some little pads that stick in the back of your shoes. They work wonderfully and you can get them just about anywhere. Also, try getting some moleskin (not really mole's skin, LOL)

Answer 4

just go to wal mart and by all the medicine and stuff where they have like arch supports and stuff for your feet, and htey have things you can stick in. i had the same problem, and the pad things work great

Answer 5

band aids or just keep wearing them they might stretch and fit better

Answer 6

Maybe you should try a different brand or style or maybe a different size. but theres not much you can do other than that.
