We make deliberate choices about the language we use but manufacturers tend to market products to men and women. The specific gender terms below match the marketers’ original language. However, the main difference between most men’s and women’s shoes lies in the shoe width and size. In some cases, men’s shoes are built to support greater weights. So people with bigger bodies may want to opt for men’s versions people with smaller bodies may prefer women’s versions.

Of course, if you already have a particularly raw, painful hot spot, the products listed above may not save you. In this case, you may be wondering if popping a blister is the way to go. But actually, you want to keep the blister intact, according to the Mayo Clinic. It’s best to maintain the skin covering a blister, as it provides a natural infection barrier. However, sometimes blisters are just too painful or in a problematic area (like on the bottom of your feet). In that case, consider swabbing the area with iodine and use a disinfected needle to prick the edges to drain the fluid. Then, cover the entire area in petroleum jelly, per the Mayo Clinic. Try to stay off your feet until the area heals. And if you need to be on your feet pretty often, protect your blister by cutting a piece of moleskin in a doughnut shape and place it around the blister.
