"The brainchild of two female entrepreneurs who met during their MBA program at Northeastern University (my alma mater!), blistabloc’s reactive shoe insert, b.bloc™, was created to prevent blisters BEFORE they even occur. The discreet clear plastic strips, which come in a pack of a four, get taped on the interior back of your casual sneaker, heel, boat shoe, or flat in the spot(s) where you are most apt to get irritation. b.bloc’s unique material properties mold to your shoe and react to movement, temperature and pressure, working to reduce the discomfort caused by the friction of your foot and shoe rubbing together."

Our fortunate ability to partner with a company that has values we believe in.

As Jacqueline and I continue to grow blistabloc, we are always walking a tightrope to make sure that our partnerships are both strategically beneficial and align with our core beliefs. Given that between the two of us we hold complete ownership of blistabloc, we are able to have the final say in the path we lead. We are always making sure that our partners have a good reputation, make an impact, and most importantly — care more about the people they work with and the customers they serve.

Connors and Quill launched the company, which they called blistabloc, after they designed a clear adhesive insert that anyone can tape into their shoes to prevent blisters. Its patent-pending design is supposed to react as your feet move to reduce friction, which is what they say causes blisters."
