    No, this is what you are supposed to do with blister plasters; you wear them until they are almost falling off. They're a bit more sturdy that your common and garden plaster. They get a bit black round the edges from accumulated dirt but they are still protecting your feet.

    Anyone who's been on a walking holiday will tell you that blister plasters are an essential. :)

    Now, about those shoes... I wouldn't be seen dead in those! ;)

    I have to say .. Croc's are fabulous to wear and great when doing loads of walking around. I bought a pair when we went to Disneyland last year and have never looked back!

    Thanks, but really? You don't change the plaster or it doesn't come off in the shower?! I'm a clean plaster type of gal! :rotfl:

    Yes, seriously. If you're unlucky enough to get a blister on your feet, you need to protect it from irritation for a good few days or it will keep getting worse and then eventually... burst! Which really is ick time!

    I remember once in the Pyrenees having a blister lanced with a hot needle because it had got so bad. Not painful just not pleasant!!

    I had a few blisters when I went to work but luckily *fingers crossed* not for a while. I'd still change the plaster though!

    and ewwww at the lancing comment!
