When the summer comes, the feet undress and the sandals are out. But if they do not lack style, their fine strips very often suffer. A simple gesture allows you to protect yourself.
Summer rhymes with barefoot. When the summer temperatures come, the small feet finally show off with pride, sublimated by a manicure in incendiary colors and shoes with thin strips which no longer leave room for mystery. Sandals and flip -flops, dishes or heels, finally come out of their winter den to the delight of modeurs. Stylish at will, they can also be painful to excess: with them, the adage “You have to suffer to be beautiful” often takes on its full meaning. Indeed, with the warmth of summer and by dint of walking, the feet can start to swell and rub more with said strap, causing discomfort, pain and injuries. An observation that we ended up accepting out of spite … But that we say it: Fashion are not condemned to suffer all their lives. A simple gesture that we tend to forget will give us response this summer and all the following is promised.
It is the influencer Ashley Lamarca who gives us her little tips. It costs no more than ten euros and only takes a few minutes. To avoid bulbs, it sticks kinds of patches in silicone gel directly on the strips of the shoe, on the back side which is in contact with the foot, so that they are less hard and rub less violently on the skin. Detractors are surely wondering if this tip still works in case of very hot weather. Ashley assures him; It even resists the hot climate of Florida: “I have already done it in Miami!”
If you do not find it in store or online, you can also buy a silicone -brittle sole – which is usually put under the foot – and cut it so that it coincides with the shape of the said strap. Finally, for the chilly of the patches, an even more malignant alternative is possible: applying the thick moisturizer of the vaseline type only on the top of the foot (and not below, so as not to slide with perspiration).
The skin film will reduce the effects of repeated friction. “The best tip coming from someone who lives in Italy: use cream. Hydrate your foot just before wearing them. You will thank me later.” (Tiktok @Cotilablanca))
