Debuting a new shoe is always an important event: in addition to feeling good, for a moment our clothes and even our legs look prettier. However, this beautiful moment is also usually accompanied by a boring part: discomfort or pain in the feet. It’s not uncommon for a new shoe to cause some discomfort in the first few days and therefore end up forgotten in the back of the closet for a long time.
To prevent this from happening, the awesome.club separated some tips that help make new and hard shoes more comfortable.
1. Use an adhesive bandage to keep your foot from slipping
When we buy a new pair of shoes, the little time we spend in the store is not always enough to show us whether our feet slip on the soles or not. An easy way to resolve this situation is to stick a healing patch on top. The rough surface of the patch keeps your feet in place and prevents accidents.
2. Open your shoes with the help of a peeled potato
You don’t have to say goodbye to a new pair of shoes just because they’re a little tight. To solve this problem you just need to peel a potato and put it in the shoe overnight. The moisture from the potato helps the shoe break a little. The only thing you need to do is clean up any residue after removing the potato.
3. Apply nail polish to sandals that hurt your toes
One way to avoid blisters between the toes due to the friction between the skin and the strap of the sandal is to apply a little nail polish to the area that touches the skin.
4. Absorbent pads for very hard insoles
It is always very uncomfortable to walk in shoes that are too hard. One way to solve or at least reduce this problem is to pad the shoe with an absorbent pad.
5. Turn any shoe into a winter shoe
Not everyone likes to wear boots to keep their feet warm in winter. However, there is a way to turn any shoe into a warmer shoe. It is enough to cut a fabric that retains heat and put it on the sole. Here’s the step by step:
Draw the outline of the shoes on a sheet of paper. Cut out the design and do the same with the fabric. Use this “insole” in whatever shoes you like and keep your feet warmer.
6. Socks for lacing shoes
Another solution to make tight shoes more comfortable is to wear socks. The trick is to roll up several pairs, stuff them into your shoes, leave them overnight, and in the morning check to see if the shoe has broken. If necessary, repeat the process several times until you get the desired result.
7. “Invisible” socks to wear with high heels
Feet that sweat a lot don’t usually get along with all kinds of shoes, much less with heels. Either the shoe comes off the feet or we have the feeling that we can slip at any moment. The only solution for these cases is to wear socks that absorb sweat. However, some shoes just don’t go with socks. To solve problems of this kind, you can put a sock on only the second and third toes.
8. If the sandal is hurting your foot, wrap a shoelace or fabric around the strap
To make your sandals more comfortable and different at the same time, you can cover the straps with a cotton fabric. In addition to being much more comfortable, a fabric strap prevents the formation of blisters on the fingers. And you can use any other material and color as you like.
9. Cushion for oversized shoes
You can use a pad, a cotton ball, or even some toilet paper to fill the space left over in oversized shoes. Remember that it is important to remove the padding as soon as you stop using the shoe, to avoid the bad smell.
10. Tie the shoelaces according to your needs
The way you lace up your shoe can make it a lot more comfortable. For example, to prevent the heel from loosening and blistering, do the following:
Thread the laces through the extra hole on both sides of the shoe. Then cross the laces as shown in the picture and tie them.
11. Use a pad to protect the heel
If the friction of the shoe with the heel usually causes pain, use an absorbent. Cut a piece and stick it to the back of the shoe with the sticky side. You can also simply put on another pad to pad the area and protect your feet from hard shoes.
Do you usually feel pain in your feet when you start wearing a new shoe? And do you know any other advice for anyone who suffers when it comes to wearing shoes for the first time?
