4" Stilettos Without Tears!

There's something about fall that is just so exciting. Perhaps it's the fresh, crisp air or the back to school beginning that helps set a new tone. But for me early September always equals New York Fashion Week. The legendary bi-yearly occasion is chalk full of shows, parties and random events and this year was no exception.! Thursday night I had the great fortune of attending the Rosa Cha show and then (like all New Yorkers) I made a mad dash to experience the one of a kind Vogue's Night Out Event. My partner in crime and I managed to hit 5 neighborhoods and by the end of the 5 hrs were completely exhausted! But regardless of how tired we were I think all that running around was more stressful on our poor, helpless feet. After all I think most doctor's would agree that our delicate feet are not designed to be in 4" plus heels. Then last night as I was running to the Beauty Blogger Fashion Week event I threw on a new pair of beautiful silver python 4" platform pumps without really thinking. Well it took me only 20 steps till I realized my poor feet were in dire trouble. So much trouble that a very sweet boy came up on the street and asked me if I was ok. From the very perilous way I was walking he was afraid that I hurt me leg! So sweet and thoughtful! But my big mistake was a wearing high heels after Thursday night's activities (after all I'm 5'10" so I don't desperately need the added height and my poor feet do need a day off to recover) and not applying the Bandaid Friction Block Stick.

As my PR guru cousin who is permanently in heels and I can attest to is that this simplistic stick provides the necessary cushion to protect feet's delicate skin from the barbaric shoes we like to wear. The mess-free stick glides easily onto skin to form an invisible protective barrier that prevents skin from the constant rubbing that eventually leads to blister formation. With it's lubricating formula, the Friction Block Stick keeps your feet intact and blister-free. As I hobbled home last night, practically crying and willing my apartment to be closer, I swore to myself to never leave home without the stick regardless of how late I'm running. And the best part is the stick is so small you can easily throw it your bag and use it on to go or for touch-ups as needed.

Usage tip: Apply the stick to the areas most prone to blisters- the back of the ankle, the side of the pinkie toe and all along the side of the big toes down to the bone that will hopefully never turn into a bunion! Allow the product to absorb before wearing shoes. Reapply as needed.

The results: Blister-free, pain-free feet that can last throughout the night without any tears! Take that 4" stilettos!
