We all love shoes and tend to have too many pairs – some of which do not fit perfectly. The ones that we love most can turn out to be the ones that pain our feet the most. But it is possible to make shoes fit better and prevent painful blisters from friction. Elastoplast has come up with some practical and technically advanced solutions for more foot comfort, no matter what kind of shoe you wear.

Elastoplast Blister Plaster – The life saver for your feet

What it does

Elastoplast Foot Expert Blister Plaster is able to immediately relieve the pain caused by a blister and continuous friction on your feet. Apply it on a blister that already exists, or one that is about to form. It will cushion the affected area and even protect an open blister from infection and dirt.

Elastoplast Foot Expert Blister Plaster will help take off the pressure-induced pain instantly, protect the blister from further friction and pressure, and also accelerate its healing process.

Whatever you were doing, you can go on immediately

How does it do it?

Based on advanced hydrocolloid technology, Elastoplast Foot Expert Blister Plaster will create an optimal wound healing environment, known to support and speed up healing. The extra strong adhesion of Elastoplast SOS Blisterplaster will also see to it that the plaster stays in place.

How to use it

Just slip one of the oval, scarcely noticeable plasters on a blister or high-pressure spot. Use the Blister plaster in „large“ for heels or „small“ for toes and other areas. Be sure to apply on dry skin, and press in order to achieve maximum hold.
The plaster will stay in place for several days; remove or renew it when it starts to peel off by itself.

How to make any shoe more comfortable

Do's

… buy shoes to fit your bigger foot (feet normally differ in size).
Buy shoes later in the day when feet are likely to be expanded to their maximum size.
… watch out for seams or materials that might rub, be too hard or uncomfortable.
… change shoes as often as you can. This will relieve pressure points that exude continuous pressure and therefore might lead to blisters.
... consider using insoles. Ask a doctor’s advice if properly fitting shoes for your feet don’t seem to be available.
remember to protect „Hot spots“ on your feet that are prone to blister development before you even leave the house. Applying Elastoplast Blister plaster large or Elastoplast Pressure Stop are perfect preventive measures against friction, sore spots and blisters.
… make sure to take Elastoplast Blister Plaster with you when setting out on longer walks or runs, or going out for a night of dancing. It comes in a convenient pocket pack ready to help an existing blister heal and take pain away.

Don'ts

...keep wearing the same shoes every day.
...forget to break in new shoes before you take them on a grand shopping tour or sightseeing trip.
...expect that footwear which is too tight will stretch with wear.
... forget to give your socks some thought: Socks that don’t fit snugly can cramp the toes as much as poorly-fitted shoes.
... leave your shoes prone to humidity: Humidity and leather are not a good mix. Keep your feet as dry as possible, as wet shoes, boots and socks will cause blisters far quicker than dry ones.
