Meghan Markle's High-Heel Hack for Avoiding Blisters

What lengths would you go to when it comes to preventing blisters, and to avoid those dreaded blister plasters that always seem to come off anyway? We've highlighted a wide range of solutions, from moisturising socks to special stickers, but Meghan Markle reportedly has a trick of her own. Fashion journalist Harriet Davey explained a possible reason to The Sun as to why Markle always seems to wear shoes that are too big for her. 

"Celebs often go a size up, or even two, in the shoe department when they're at an event or on the red carpet and it's for one reason we can all relate to—to avoid blisters," Davey says. "There's nothing worse than uncomfortable shoes (we've all been there on a night out) and when celebs like Meghan are wearing heels for a long period of time their feet can often swell up. The swelling can cause blisters and in the long run bunions." Scroll down to see how Markle wears her heels and shop her shoes for yourself.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
