Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) I wanted to give this product to my daughter for a serious review of its effectiveness. This is her take on the item. As a dancer majoring in ballet at university, I wanted to try out Band-Aid's new Friction Block Stick to see if it would help prevent me from getting blisters from my pointe shoes. When I received this product, the first positive aspects that I noticed were its small compact size, no mess simple design, and its good smell. The actual application of the product, however, was somewhat awkward and felt much like putting deodorant on my feet and toes. I did not sense any significant change in the feel or friction of my shoes, but I do believe it helped a bit. The only other downside to this product was that it cannot be applied on blisters or open sores which is disappointing to me because these are the areas that I would most want to protect from friction. Overall, I think this product would be good for the average shoe wearer whose shoes don't fit perfectly, someone who is wearing new shoes for the first time, or a lady putting on heels before a big night out. If you are looking for serious coverage, though, it looks like the plain old band-aid is still the best way to go.
