Sandals and Your Feet

Most of us for the summer wear sandals or thongs. But these type shoes do not offer support for our feet. They tend to make your feet hurt with blisters and other painful issues. Thongs also offer little arch support, and results in tendonitis or sprained ankels from tripping. These types of shoes are also not for long periods of time as far as wearing. But I do know some tips that may help with wearing these types of shoes.











If you insert cushioning into the sole of your shoe, this will increase comfort for your sole. There are many products available for thong shoes. Some will sit under the ball of your foot, this prevents the foot from sliding forward in your shoe. Heel cushions are great for relieving any pressure on your heel. There are also strap stickers to prevent your straps from rubbing against your foot. There are also stickers for the bottom of the shoe.

To reduce friction, try band aid friction block. This works by reducing the friction of your shoe rubbing on the sandal against your skin. It almost looks like deodorant, and works great. It's like wearing a invisible band aid. It helps prevent blisters or getting raw skin.











 Mole skin works wonderful to. This is great protection between the thong and the toe, where you most often get blisters. Mole skin also keeps you from getting tender spots, corns and calluses from your sandals. It also helps with painful friction. Just cut to fit and your feet will love you for it.
