So- I was dumb enough to wear a new pair of sandals while away this weekend and doing a lot of walking. I now have a blister just below my big toe, a little off to the side.

This weekend I have a wedding and my shoes have a strap that goes right over the blister. Does anyone know of a quick fix for this? It hurts to wear socks at this point.

Thanks girls!

If you just want to cover it and give a little padding, I recommend the Nexcare clear bandages. They are the only ones that will stay in place on my sweaty feet all day. If you are in a lot of pain and don't care how things look as much, I would suggest using one of those callus/corn pads by dr. scholls. You can also try lining your sandal strap with molefoam, or my usual combo is lining the sandal strap and wearing the nexcare bandaid...then you don't see much of anything and feel much more comfy. A little dab of pain killing neosporin can help too. Hope that helps! I hate blisters and get them all the time, so I feel your pain! :)
