Never heard of or seen it. I would think that a good lotion would serve the same purpose.
And wearing the correct size shoe.
I have tried it. It is just like putting a silky border against your foot and the part where it is rubbing. Bring it with you incase you need to re-apply. It does feel wierd the first time you use it.
I'm wearing 4inch heels---so I most def will be trying it out prior to the wedding.
Doesn't work, or at least not in my experience. You're better off buying moleskin to put on the backs of your heels.
Oh, and basically all it is made out of, if I remember correctly, is vegetable shortening. Crisco could be as effective.
I've used this and it works. You can also just apply deodorant/anti-perspirant. It has the exact same effect.
Thanks for the tips ladies. I will probably try this after I've had my wisdom teeth out next week--can you imagine, 4 inch heels and pain meds?--probably not the best idea 
I bought some when I saw it advertised in a wedding mag, couldn't resist...it works well but not any different then applying a deoderant
I love this stuff! I use it all the time with tall shoes! Just don't put it on the bottom of your feet, as one of my BMs did once. that doesn't work and just makes your feet slippery and causes it to slide arond in the heel.
i've read that you could juse use vaseline, but never tried it.
This stuff works well as long as you put it on before you put your shoes on and before you already have a blister. It's not foolproof, and using other things like moleskin is certainly helpful, but it makes a difference!
Moleskin is this skin colored, kind of paddes, bandaid like furry stuff that kind of gives you a second skin. I don't know how to better describe it, I actually feel like it's useful but pretty ugly.
Alternatively, duct tape works just like moleskin. I know it may not be the most ideal but if you are in a pinch, it's usually easy to find around the house. I blister all the time and I can't imagine how deodorant or crisco could help but I'm wiling to try anything. Has anyone used wither of those methods with socks? I just got a new pair of boots that give me killeer blisters on my heels!

Hi Bees,
Has anyone tried this? I'm wondering if it works. I've seen it sold at Walgreens.
