Blistery Feet

I don’t wear extremely uncomfortable shoes, for example at work I wear sneakers sometimes on errands I wear some flip flops but they are actually more supportive of my arches than most. I occasionally wear casual boots also. But I’m not sure why my feet always looked like this! Recently tried Babyfoot but my feet started getting like this the day after all the skin was gone.

    Never wear wet shoes.
    The wetness can cause more “dragging” between the foot and shoe and can result in blisters. If you jog twice a day, for instance, you may want to have two pairs of shoes, one that you wear for your first run of the day and another for the second

    Late reply I know, but the skin on my feet looks like this occasionally, sometimes worse (discovered another callus on them last night, probably from wearing flip flops). I put it down to not keeping them moisturised enough – that I think is the key. Oh and exfoliating them too.

    Ok, thanks!

    If you’ve just done Babyfoot I would say this is because the tough layer of skin is gone and what is left is quite delicate. Any friction is going to cause calluses to start to form.

    Babyfoot really didn’t do anything though, the skin underneath felt exactly the same.
    But my feet have always been like this… for years.

    I wore my new clogs in a warm climate while on holiday and developed painful blisters on both feet. The Chemist recommended Compeed Blister bandaids and they really helped to relieve the pain and heal the blisters. They withstood wear and tear and were easy to remove.

    Hmm, its hard to tell from just that photo – but it looks more like a skin condition than blisters. Something like eczema or dermatitis maybe?

    Your feet definitely look in good condition otherwise but it could be worth just asking your doctor or pharmacist to take a look next time you’re there. If it is something like that, its easily fixed with a cream usually.

    You think so? O.o I guess they never really “blister” like fluid and stuff. Always figured my feet were sensitive or something… I do have other skin issues though so that would make sense.

    I don’t think you need to worry. your feet look like they’re in really good condition (is that weird to say? lol) its like superficial dryness.

    my feet get like this in summer when I’m walking around barefoot a lot.
    I just use a sugar and olive oil scrub on them and pop a good foot cream on with socks overnight.
    look for a foot cream that contains ahas or lactic acid and urea.

    moisturise them every night and it will get better.
    I found it would sometimes take a week for them to improve, and then I’d just use the cream every couple of days for maintenance.

    Oh ok hahah. I guess I don’t know what other people’s feet look like… I have been moistuizing every night though with Gold Bond Foot Cream..
