Plus, expert picks for sandals that'll feel comfortable on your feet.
Blisters can be painful and annoying, and the heat of the summer mixed with tight, strappy sandals can quickly turn into a recipe for disaster. To keep your feet happy and blister-free this season, here’s what you need to know.“Most blisters on the feet are caused by excessive friction with a shoe,” said Saylee Tulpule, a podiatrist at. “Other factors, such as an allergic reaction or a burn, can also cause blister formation.
Higher summer temperatures boost the likelihood of blisters. That’s because your feet naturally sweat year-round , and sweat tends to increase in higher temperatures, which can lead to more friction and blister formation.Flip-flops and other thong-type sandals are easy to throw on, but they’re not the best choice for walking long distances in the summer heat.
Synthetic materials, like hard canvas or synthetic leather, can also lead to blister formation. Instead, Tulpule recommends sandals made of softer, more durable materials like leather. Sung recommends trying on sandals and taking a few steps. Are your toes gripping the sandals, or are the sandals slipping off? If so, you should probably keep shopping. “The foot should not be moving too much in the sandal while walking,” he said. “You should feel a snugness to the sandal and comfortability.”Breaking in a new pair of sandals can take some time, but it’s worth it to avoid painful blisters.
