So when I go to Disneyland, and wear sock with tennis shoe type shoes (which I also rarely wear at home) my feet are shocked at the difference.<<< Here is where duct tape really shines, you put strips where you tend to blister and instead of sock or shoe rubbing the skin, it rubs the tape which is secured to the skin, so no blister.
