Avoid High Heel Blisters! Profoot Slik Stik, Anti-Blister Stik

Profoot Slik StikProfoot Care Slik Stik, Anti-Blister Stick is a fairly new product marketed as a “miracle” anti-blister stick. It generally lives up to its name!

The stick looks and feels quite a bit like a deodorant stick. Rub it on your feet where your shoes rub, and the product leaves a moisturizing barrier that helps prevent excessive rubbing and chaffing. The product goes on clear and has no scent that I could notice.

The anti-blister stick also works pretty well. I tried some on a pair of heels that I have been unable to wear for any length of time because the strap was rubbing too much. With use of the Profoot Slik Stik, I was able to actually wear the shoes. I still would not take a lengthy walk in them, but the stick allowed me to wear them to work for a day with no real problems. So it saved a pair of cute shoes that were otherwise destined for Goodwill.

Another similar product is Band-Aid Active Flex Blister Block Stick. I haven’t tried the Band-aid product, but it appears to be essentially the same thing.

A friend pointed these out to me. Are you an outdoorsy woman? Need some comfortable shoes to shop in that you can also use to carry your credit card? Want to easily carry and hide an extra key at the beach? Check out Reef Stash Flip Flops. The shoes have a storage compartment in the sole. At $46 for a pair, they are a bit pricey, but it is an interesting concept!

Cosmetic Foot Surgery: High Heel Injections and (gulp) Amputations.

The Chicago Fox News ran a report the other night about “high heel injections,” which involves injecting collagen into the balls of the feet in order to make wearing thin soled, high heel shoes more comfortable. The video came complete with graphic shots of needles entering feet, which I really don’t recommend watching while suffering from a migraine. It also drew some “ewwws” and “icks” from my boyfriend.

I became curious about it and checked into it more today. I was rather surprised at what I found. Not only are some women injecting their feet, but some are amputating parts of their toes in order to wear, or improve the toe cleavage on, pointy toe shoes such as those from Manolo Blahnik or Jimmy Choo. The New York Times initially reported on it and I found some in depth commentary on both procedures at an interesting web site devoted to the wearing of high heels: 2heels.com.

Now I am fairly vain, and I am willing to bet that cosmetic procedures are in my future. But cosmetic foot surgery involving partial amputations???? I’m just not seeing that! The injection idea, while not for me, is somewhat interesting, but I cannot imagine amputating body parts just to be able to wear a certain shoe. Do people who have had this done admit to it? It seems outside of the realm of general social (and likely medical) acceptance to me, but perhaps I am just naive?

Tokidoki for Fornarina

Tokidoki will be releasing a line of shoes for Fornarina this spring to be sold in the United States and Europe. Locations and release date have not yet been announced.

The line includes the shoe pictured here in 5 different colors and a tennis shoe in five colors. See the Tokidoki link above for pictures.

I don’t know that these are something I would wear much. But I will get a pair of pink ones simply because they are Tokidoki, they are pink, and they will make a certain (wonderful) guy I know roll his eyes. That alone seems like a good reason to buy a pair!
