The feet can be a cause of abrasions. Recommended oils are vegetable oil, olive oil, vitamin E oil, and more; all of these are easily accessible as well.
The Right Size
Shoes that are too big will keep hitting on your heel and cause blisters which will make wearing all shoes difficult. Shoes that are too small will cause your nails to break (sometimes ever cause nails to be ingrown when worn often), they will cause blisters on your toes and at your heel; they will also be tight and cause more sweating resulting in bacterial growth.
Covering the Spot
