Re: HELP! Markell shoes and a heel blister

[Guest guest]

Kori is better at explaining this but here's my attempt:

Take a bandaid and put it on the blister.

On the outside of the bandaid color it with a marker

Put the foot in the shoe and make sure the bandaid presses against

the back of the shoe(ie where the blister has formed)

Once you have this sport figured out-use an x-facto knife and cut a

hole out so that you can remove the friction causing area of the

shoe.

This should/will hopefully allow the skin to rest/heal and your son

be able to wear the shoes.

Blisters are caused by friction-so make sure the shoes are on nice

and tight-check out the fab tips/tricks pdf file in the file section

as it is very informative with pictures, etc.

Worse case-see your son's doctor and get a healing cast put on-

however, its hard for an open blister to heal without " air " so if it

were me-I would try the above first. Hopefully-I got it right! If

not Kori can correct me!

My son developed a nasty blister(i think he had it before he was put

in the shoes) with much diligence and little extra TLC we were able

to heal it up nicely!

take care,
