Feet have a tough time in the summer. Squeezed into strappy sandals, barefoot in box-fresh sneakers and lots of long, sweaty walks mean your toes are in for plenty of abuse over the next few months. Regular pedicures can help, but a care package filled with blister balm, cushiony bandages and quick-clean wipes will have you stepping in the right direction in no time. Throw in stink-squashing spray, a new set of coloured laces and instant glue, too, for the ultimate kit.

Dirty white sneakers
For those fresh white sneaks with grass stains, spills and dirt, a pack of grease- and grime-busting wipes are the easiest way to bring your shoes back from the brink.
There’s nothing worse than hurrying to tie your laces as you rush out the door and have one snap in your fingers. Prepare for the inevitable with a pack of cute coloured laces so you never have to make a last-minute shoe swap again.
If you’re wearing low-cut flats or sneakers but don’t want to sacrifice the look of going bare, go for a micro sock. They’re also perfect for a recovery day after wearing a particularly abusive pair.
In the summer, sweaty feet and going sockless is a recipe for smelly toes. Combat odour with a quick pump of this shoe refresher. Think of it as Febreeze for your feet.
Breaking in brand-new sandals is a tough task. Until the shoe and all its straps have a chance to take on the shape of your foot, there are a few days of pain involved. Tackle the rubbing with a generous smear of this invisible slippery balm. Instant relief.
This is a must-have in your shoe-care arsenal. A torn strap or lifted sole can derail your day. A quick dab of this multipurpose glue is all it takes to get you back on your feet.
Ultra-flat soles and vertiginous heels can both put a lot of pressure on the balls of your feet. Give yourself cloud-like gel cushioning in the shape of peel-and-stick pads.
When a blister does bubble up, the best thing you can do is let it heal on its own. A cushiony blister bandage will prevent further damage and lock out water and dirt, too. Keep these in place for a couple of days to let the healing start before you strip them off.
