5 Loafers for Girls Who Get Blisters

Some of us just have the kind of feet that easily blister. I am one of those girls.

There’s nothing we can do about it — we just have to accept our fate and work with it the best that we can. But, when cool new ‘it’-girl shoe trends come along — like loafers — we need to get creative.

POPSUGAR Australia’s publisher, Amanda Bardas, is a fellow blistered babe. She recommends putting them on with thick bed socks, bending your toes, and then blow-drying the shoes.

“The heat softens the leather,” she says.

But in order for this hack to work, you need to get loafers made out of genuine leather.

If you’re not down for the time-consuming nature of wearing them in, you could look into getting loafer mules. Depending on where you get your blisters (mine are always on my heels), you can try to find styles of comfy loafers that don’t rub in the wrong spot.

Because truly, life is too short to wear shoes that really hurt. Even if they look cute.

Below, we’ve rounded up a bunch of comfy loafers that are either soft in material or clever in design, so as to minimise the risk of blisters and keep you looking cute.

Spurr Sim Mules

This black croc Sim Loafer Mule ($49.99 with an extra 25 per cent off at checkout) is a simple mule option, that will give your outfit that loafer look without rubbing the heel.

Zeroe Becci Square Toe Mule Loafers

These Zeroe Becci Square Toe Mule Loafers ($109 with an extra 25 per cent off at checkout) are still mules, but with their square-toed and closed-in design, you’d barely be able to tell they’re mules from the front alone.

These would be a great option if you’re going for an on-trend, Hailey Bieber-inspired, school-core look.

Jo Mercer Darius Mid Heel Mules

The Jo Mercer Darius Mid Heel Mules ($199.95 with an extra 20 per cent off at checkout) are square-toed and have a soft, gold-toned flat metal chain over the vamp.

This is a slightly more elevated version of the above, given its heel and gold embellishments.

AERE Chain Embellished Chunky Mules

The soles on these AERE Chain Embellished Chunky Mules (was $160, now $112) give them a more chunky look in a mule design.

If you get insistent blisters on your heels but you really love the look of the chunky loafer then these are for you.

Walnut Melbourne Owen Leather Loafer

Walnut is really well-known for their comfort factor, which makes these Owen Leather Loafers ($199.95 with an extra 25 per cent off at the checkout) a great option for babes who get blisters.

Regardless of where your blister spot is, the leather of these loafers will soften and become super comfortable — like slippers! — and not rub too much.
