Friction from shoes rubbing against your skin is the biggest cause of blisters.

Since the product is inspired by sports balms that prevent athletes from chafing, you're pretty much guaranteed to walk through the day blister-free.

No matter what stage your blister may be at, some extra padding will help relieve discomfort. Slip these cushions into shoes to prevent your foot from sliding and rubbing, which leads to blisters.
