HEELS SORE?
People who wear court shoes (and that includes most smart women), often find that their heels are troublesome. A section of hard skin forms just where the top of the shoe-back comes. It is not generally painful, but the friction wears holes in stockings. Cuticle remover will often take away some of this skin formation, but to prevent the rubbing, the best thing is a wide piece of plaster. It should be about the depth of the heel, and should be stuck on so that it comes a little above the shoe level. Cut it to fit well, and strap down firmly without any rucks to form blisters. Chemists' keep plaster that will stay 011 for several days and does not come off in the bath.
