This is a post

We love stumbling upon new and exciting products Dr. Scholl's Rub Relief Strips.

Okay, it's simply a cool dispenser for moleskin, but it's so cool that it makes moleskin seem fresh and useful all over again.
You know how traditional moleskin comes in a 4" x 6" sheet, more appropriate for hiking boots than strappy sandals? You try to cut it down to the right size and shape and length but the pieces always come out crooked and hang over the edge of your shoes.

Well, this thing dispenses it in perfect 3/8" strips. And there is a blade inside of it that lets you cut the strip the exact the length you want. Then you peel off the back like a band-aid, stick it on the bad rubbing part of your shoe and you're good to go!

It's not showing up for sale online yet, but we found it at a relatively small Target on the foot medicine aisle. Be the first on your block to try it out!

Just to clarify, this is NOT moleskin. I bought it last week along with the new friction reduction stick. The strips are foam padding that sticks to your shoe, not your foot. The sticky is not very strong, which makes it good to remove from shoes, but bad for staying power. Moleskin is still the best for blister protection, but I will be keeping the Rub Relief Strips and using them for travel. The dispenser is very handy.
