Right out of the box - shoes can not only be painful but can also damage your feet. To minimise the pain of pinching shoes do the following if you are not too anxious to rush out in them!
1. Buy a tube of liquid rubber from your local diy shop and smear a little on the heel and sole to add grip.
2. If the shoe is particularly tight or stiff, grab it by the heel and gently knead it back and forth to loosen the sole, being very careful not to break the sole.
3. If the shoes are leather, waterproof the outside of the shoes as a protective measure against bad weather.
4. Wear the shoes around the house or in your office for a few days, with a pair of thick white cotton socks.
5. Get a pair of heel liners from your local drugstore, and place them on the inside heel of the shoe. The liners will also keep your heels from slipping and rubbing.
6. Use a shoe stretcher to continue the process overnight. |
