Summer shoes and rubbing on heel

[janfebmarch]

What's the answer to this? After a winter in socks and boots, the skin on the back of my Achilles gets instant blisters in any shoe or sandal without socks or tights. Please tell me there's some need trick I can use so that I don't have to wear plasters on my heels all summer? Something to rub on my foot to toughen the skin maybe? It drives me crazy every summer, surely I can't be the only one... Tia

Candle wax rubbed on the inside of the shoe.

Compeed and Boots own brand both do an anti blister stick you rub on your skin to prevent blisters. It's a lot like Vaseline in a little stick.

Get some heel shields from scholl - they stick on the shoe and last for years. Stops any rubbing.

Thanks il try those ideas
