Whenever I wear a pair of shoes that I do not wear often, I get blisters on my feet. Any way to stop this from happening?

wherever they give you blisters, put a bandaid on your foot. (unless it is visible) --usually you can use those small clear-ish ones. sometimes, if it's really bad, I will take a nail file, and carefully tone down some of the more irritating edges.

the short answer is to wear the shoes more often. Actually, it's very good for you shoes to NOT wear them two days in a row... gives the leather a chance to relax and dry out. Also, helps prevent foot-fungus. (or, so I've been told) Just put your shoes in rotation more often. If it's a "special" pair, get some moleskin and apply that to your foot in the place it always blisters before you wear the shoe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moleskin

G'day Just Breathe, Thank you for your question. Probably the best way is to wear in your shoes by wearing them around the house for short periods. You might also want to look at buying shoes later in the day when your feet are already a bit stretched so you can see how they go. You can also get shoe stretch at most shoe repair stores which should help you break them in. I have attached sources for your reference.

I always carry bandaids in my bag just in case.

put rubbing alcohol on the inside of the shoe where your foot hurts. then wear the show for about a half hour in the house. it will stretch out the part that hurts you(because its too tight) and wont ruin the shoe either. best trick i ever learned
