Simply Fab: Band-Aid Blister Block Stick

BellaSugar — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:44:33 -0700

Band-Aid Activ-Flex Blister Block Stick, $7, is the latest and greatest invention for blister prevention! It's the end all be all excuse for buying ridiculously expensive and uncomfortable shoes. Ahh, and this also happens to be great for your wedding day because let's face it: you can't really break in your wedding shoes without running the risk of getting them dirty!

This new product is an invisible shield that you swipe over the areas on your feet where you would normally get a blister. It actually looks kinda like a deodorant stick. The emollient coats and protects the skin from being rubbed raw by the friction of your stiff shoe. And, because it's invisible, it's safe to wear with open toe shoes and it isn't messy so it won't damage your shoes.

Style For Style: Sweaty Feet Fix

FabSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 14:00:08 -0700

I have these Theory Mirror leather sandals ($207) in pewter and have been wearing them to death - they are a great alternative to black shoes and the criss-cross style is very modern. But never have I worn them when I was in hot weather, and so, I recently found out they have a slippery inside. I was caught in this dilemma while living it up in LA at Hills' hangout Les Deux with PartySugar. I was so nervous slipping around in my shoes, I had to find a quick solution.

To see my fix for sweaty feet, read more.

First I tried Band-Aids on the bottoms of my feet and, duh, they totally slipped around, too. Then, I remembered that bathroom attendants at such chichi clubs as Les Deux having everything you could possibly need. I was saved when the lovely attendant handed me some Johnson's Baby Powder ($5). A $5 tip and problem solved.

I recommend testing any new shoes in a warmer climate before going out. Walk around the house for a half hour when you're getting ready and if you feel any slippage, powder your feet. Rest assured, now you know you can definitely dance the night away.

Planning a Winter retreat? Then add this Spiegel Faux Fur Cuff Bootie ($99, originally $129) to your bag. You probably already have booties, but are they extra cozy? It's like a shearling jacket . . . for your feet! There is a black version as well, but I prefer tan.

The Look For Less: Vivienne Westwood Buckled Pirate Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

Fab reader Shahrzaad recently pointed out in our The Fashion Stylist group that everyone is wearing pirate boots these days. Right on. From Kate Moss to models on the streets, many are dipping their feet into Vivienne Westwood's Buckled Pirate Boots ($789). The look is not for everyone, but if you can pull it off, there's a less expensive version out there.

To see the look for less, read more.

These Jeffrey Campbell Woodsuede Slouch Flats ($220) don't come that cheap, but they sure beat the Vivienne Westwood price tag. They are suede and have the same chunky buckles. The color is different, but no matter, the pirate motif is still present. If $220 for a pair of boots is still too steep, check out some other flat buckled boots for under $100.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Cozy Winter Flats

FabSugar — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:37:22 -0800

I recently presented a challenge that was going to take some thinking outside the box. A Fab reader who lives in NYC seeks warm, semi-dressy flats to wear in the Winter that aren't boots or sneakers. She wants to retire the Chucks she currently lives in, so I asked you to help keep her feet dressy-cozy. I started you off with this Banana Republic Black Skinny Jean ($90) because she will be mostly be wearing the flats with jeans and pants. Let's see your suggestions.

Look #1, created by Claire Underwear, is too cute, especially the ruffle flats.

My friend Genevieve has big feet (sorry hun). Size 11 to be exact. Don't get me wrong; Genevieve is a beautiful, smart gal, with jet black hair, and stands a little over six feet tall. Her only downfall is her gargantuan feet. Most major department stores don't stock her size and the rare times she finds a shoe in her size, they're ugly and old fashioned. If you can relate to Genevieve, check out BarefootTess.com.

This wonderful site specializes in selling trendy and fashionable shoes in sizes 6 to 15. Besides carrying their own line, BarefootTess.com carries a large - no pun intended - selection of popular shoes mongers including Chie Mihara, Corso Cormo, and Loeffler Randall. Stomp loud, stop proud.

Whether or not you like to admit it, high heels kill after wearing them for a long period of time. Insolia, whose slogan is "Science Meets Sexy," has come up with a solution for aching feet.

With Insolia shoe inserts ($20 for 3-pack) your weight is shifted from the ball of your foot to the heel. It makes you feel as though you're wearing lower heels. The product is so popular, designers like DKNY are making shoes with the Insolia insole already in them!
