Flip Flops

housemouse100

Not sure if this is the right place, please move if incorrect. I have a pair of flip flops wirth leather toe posts, which kill my feet and cause mega blisters. Rather than charity shop or throw them does anyone know any way of softening the toe posts.
many thanks

not sure how to soften the leather except for using some dubbing/saddle soap kind of stuff

thats woukld be the OS way i guess

but scholl sell some special plasters that go between the toes exactly to stop this kind of blister - saw them in boots.

Don't know if it helps but to stop flip flops hurting while my feet get used to them at the start of the summer, I rub a little bit of vaseline between my toes where they rub. If I don't have vaseline, lip balm usually works just as well.

You could try this.

Scholl (and I think Superdrug and Boots own brands too) do a sort of sticky-backed sponge stuff, which you could wrap round the toe post - less bother than having to put it on your toes, and likely to last several days at least.

vaseline is the answer it works like magic.
