Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Our son had a blister on the top front of his foot where the DBB strap went. We bought a Dr. Scholls bunion pad (that has a hole in the middle) and put it over the top of the blister. This helped take the pressure of the strap from pushing directly on the blister. Within a few days he blister was heeling a didn't really case a problem. Others have used band aids or other things to reduce the amount of rubbing on the blister location. and (3-17-99) > Hi all. I am so very unhappy today. Last night I went to put Kai's shoes on and I see it - he has had an increasing area of redness on the top of his foot for some time and now there is a blister. Very bad thing It isnt like the doctor is down the road and we can get a 'healing' cast that easy. It is a whole day and $100+ just to get there and back. Not only that, but what is causing the blister?? It is right on his midfoot which makes me worry that it is a relapse.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Thanks . I will definitely keep that in mind. To my eye, his foot doesnt appear to have had any significant changes, but this rubbing and then blister was a relatively recent thing. His pics from last month show only the normal marks from a strap Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 We had a problem in the beginning with the shoes casing a dark red/purple spot on the top middle of Tori's foot. I found that it was where the buckle on the middle strap was sitting. I used a blister Band-Aid on her foot and added a layer of moleskin to the top of the strap under the buckle it took a couple of weeks but it is gone now. HTH.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Owen has these sores on the tops of both feet (top of the instep) that is caused by the strap. Only one foot blistered and I put a bandage on it. They don't seem to bother him and I've resigned myself to the fact that he will have these marks for at least as long as he's in the FAB. The skin looks to be toughening up too so he may end up with residual scarring there. Daiga and Owen > Hi all. I am so very unhappy today.
