this is like telling people who get sunburns, "put some aloe gel on." great advice - now how about some prevention tips? oh, right, i forgot. sun damage makes your face look ugly-ass, but few will see warped toes when you are 60, or the impact of ill-designed shoes on your spine. i hesitate to sound all down on fashion, but that girls wear bad shoes often enough to require bandages blows my mind.
I think I am going to try those foot petals. I love your toenail polish by the way!
Yeah, I usually buy a pair of "ball of feet" cushions when I buy a new pair of heels. Heel and instep soles are great for flat boots, too.
Some people will probably thinks this sounds totally gross, but what also works well is to put duck tape on the parts of your feet that blister when wearing heels. Keeps your feet from blistering, and it also works well when breaking into boots.
All those blisters seem like a lot to put your feet through, but I suppose it's worth it. You do always wear amazing shoes. I just can't do that to myself.
OMG THANK YOU. though i do not wear heels, i suffer from wearing flats. oh, and thanks for including the photo of your feet. i had no idea how to bandage my blisters (yes, i know...)

After a long day in heels, my feet usually hate me. If they could think independently they’d probably be wishing they belonged on the legs of someone who wears Crocs/Merrels/these things on a daily basis. Here are some things that keep my feet from wanting to run away entirely.
Band-Aids
Band-Aids are probably the most important item to have with you if you’re going out in heels. After a couple hours of wearing strappy shoes, blisters are almost inevitable. And nobody likes blisters. When you feel your feet are verge of forming blisters, break out the Band-Aids! I go through the Tough Strips like its nobody’s business.
Epsom Salt
A nice foot soak after a long day in high heels is the nicest thing in the world (maybe next to a full out foot massage). And using Epsom salt is best since it relieves soreness and inflammation. Use 1 cup of Epsom salt per gallon of warm water and soak for 20-30 minutes.
Foot Petals
To tell the truth, I’ve never used these things myself, but several people I know swear by them. They come in many different styles to provide extra support or relief to certain areas of your feet.
Bring Flats!
If you’ve got space in your bag, bringing a comfortable pair of flats along with you is a great idea. If worst comes to worst with your heels, you can always switch shoes. Just make sure you’ve got enough space in your bag if you do switch shoes!
Apologies for the gross photo of my battered feet after returning from San Francisco, but I thought it was a prime example of utilizing Band-Aids. I think that the most I’ve ever had on my feet.
