如何讓高跟鞋更舒服些

It happens to everyone - you find that one pair of shoes you just need to have in your closet, spend a whole paycheck to buy them and when you finally, finally get to wear them out the door, the inevitable happens - one block down the street you already feel a blister (or two!) coming on. In an instant, a pair of shoes you've saved up for become forever unwearable. We've all been there.

每個人都會經歷這樣的事情--你的衣櫃裏就缺那一雙鞋，高價買回來之後終於能穿出門了，但卻不可避免地發生了這樣的事情--纔剛走了一條街你就已經感覺腳上起了水泡（甚至起了兩個！）。一瞬間，你省錢買來的鞋子卻成了永不可穿的鞋子。我們都有過這種經歷。

It seems that even when we opt for the comfiest shoes imaginable, there's a pesky strap, hard insole or heel that causes immediate friction and discomfort. So how can we make sure our new kicks won't get shoved to the back of our closet?

甚至當我們選擇想象之中最舒服的鞋子時，也會有麻煩，硬鞋墊或鞋跟會立刻引起摩擦和不適。所以，我們又該如何確保新買的鞋子不會被扔到衣櫃的最後面呢？

How Do Bisters Form in the First Place?

水泡是如何形成的？

Dr. Hoke explains that "It's not so much pressure as the gliding of the skin on the surface," he tells PeopleStyle. "And so, really your skin is trapped between a bone that's moving back and forth and your body is trying to create a pad. So it separates the layers and then the fluid leaks into that space and that creates the blister. So a lot of treating it means trying to reduce that friction."

霍克博士解釋道"沒有什麼比皮膚表面的摩擦更大的壓力了，"他對PeopleStyle期刊說道。"所以，你的皮膚被困在來回移動的骨頭間，而你的身體正試圖形成保護墊。所以它會分離不同層，然後液體就會滲入，從而形成了水泡。所以很多緩解高跟鞋不適的方法都試圖減少摩擦。"

What Are the Best Ways to Treat the Area?

緩解腳後跟疼痛的最佳方法是什麼？

If a blister already formed, Dr. Hoke says the main thing you want to do is keep the area clean. "The one thing you want to be careful about is popping this blister," he explains. "The best barrier for infection is your skin. And so once you pierce that, you open yourself up to the world. It's better to leave it and keep that [area] sterile."

霍克博士說，如果已經形成了水泡，那麼最主要的事情就是保持水泡區域的乾淨。"戳破水泡是你最該注意的一件事，"他解釋道。"避免感染的最佳屏障就是你的皮膚。所以，一旦戳破水泡，你就把自己暴露在了整個世界中。但放任不管，保持水泡區域無菌纔是更好的做法。"

According to Dr. Hoke, the best bandage to look for is Spenco 2nd Skin. "It's a little sheet, almost like silicone so it doesn't just protect the blister, it absorbs the shoe that causes it," he says. "It treats the problem, it's not just covering it. You can cover a blister with a Band-Aid but you're still going to get that same friction across it."

霍克博士表示，最好的創可貼就是Spenco 2nd Skin。"薄薄的一片，就像硅膠一樣，不僅能保護水泡，還能吸附在造成水泡的鞋子上，"他說道。"它能解決這個問題，不僅只是包住水泡。你可以用任何一個創可貼貼在水泡上，但其它的創可貼還是會有摩擦感。"
