Worse Blister Ever

I recently bought a pair of boots and one day I was wearing them without socks - I know worse thing to do because by the end of the time - just a few short hours - of me wearing them by entire big toe was working. I had gotten a HUGE blister on the top of my toe. It was so big there was no way I was going to be able to not pop it and it ended up popping and the skin scrunched together.
Either way now having to wear shoes is miserable. The bandaids I put on don't ever want to stay and by walking any rubbing on the part makes it all start to bleed.
So what would you do in the situation? Is there something better I can put on my toe where the blister is to stop the rubbing but will also allow for the skin to regrow?

I would definitely put some Neosporin on it so that it will heal faster, or anything similar to that. It not only heals, but it also helps to decrease the pain, so that should be very helpful.
Instead of just band aids, you might consider putting on some bandages so that it is a little thicker than just a band aid. If that doesn't work, or seems to costly if you don't have the materials around the house, you could just wear some extra thick socks. Perhaps something like a boot sock. I would keep my shoes laced really loose as well.
If nothing else, you could take some tissue and wrap around it and then just use any kind of tape. We do this a lot of times when we don't have any band aids handy.
