For all of their strappy and colorful cuteness, summer sandals have one major downside: blisters on feet or heels. When temperatures heat up, your feet swell and sweat, which causes friction against your shoes — even comfy ones — and those painful, fluid-filled blisters on feet or heels can follow.
So, what’s the best way to avoid getting blisters on feet? First, make sure your shoes fit you just right. “If they pinch in the store, chances are they’ll pinch when you wear them for the first time,†says Everyday Health's Jessica Wu, MD, a dermatologist in Los Angeles and author of Feed Your Face. Most important, once you have blisters on feet or heels, resist the urge to pop it. “Popping a blister can introduce infection, and often the blister comes right back the same day,†advises Dr. Wu. Instead, keep the blister covered with a bandage until it dries up.
