Have you ever bought the perfect pair of shoes that were a little too tight? Do you experience blisters and discomfort when wearing new shoes? You can fix these problems in just a few minutes.
Buying new shoes is a pleasant moment for many people, but what if this joy is often spoiled foot pain. Tight shoes can quickly cause discomfort, especially in sensitive areas such as the toes, heels or the sides of the feet.
Why do we often feel pressured by new shoes?
When we put on a brand new pair of shoes, the material often hasn't adapted to the shape of our feet. Many models, especially those from leather or similar firmer materials, are designed to take some time to mold to the foot. This stiffness is often the reason for painful blisters and irritation. However, the problem is not insurmountable - the key lies in heating the material and slightly adjusting the shape.
How? With the help of a hair dryer
If you want to stretch your new shoes quickly and efficiently, you only need hair dryer and thicker socks. Wear thicker socks that will protect your feet. Put on the shoes you want to stretch. Turn on the hair dryer and direct the warm air to those places of the shoes that give you the most pressure. Heat the shoe material for approx 3 to 5 minutes, until it becomes softer and more flexible.
Leave the shoes on your feet until they are completely cool, as the material will mold to your feet during this time. The result will be noticeable after the first attempt. The material will stretched out just enough to make the shoes comfortable to wear and at the same time retain their shape.
An alternative approach for sensitive materials
If you use sensitive footwear where the heat can be too aggressive, you can try another method. Wear slightly damp shoes, a not wet socks and walk around the apartment for a few minutes. This technique is gentler and just as effective in shaping shoes to the shape of your feet.
To avoid problems in the future, stretch your shoes slightly before wearing them for the first time using the method described above. Use special gel inserts or pressure absorbers that additionally protect the sensitive areas of the feet.
It is recommended to wear new shoes first shorter time, so that the material gradually becomes more flexible. Forget the pain and blisters – try these methods and enjoy the perfect step!
