Below are some useful tips to help you wear cute high heels comfortably without hurting your feet.
Prevent foot slippage
When wearing high heels, your feet tend to slide forward, causing discomfort and toe pain while walking. To fix this, you should stick adhesive bandages (urgo) on the inner heel part of the shoes. Its textured surface will prevent your feet from slipping.
Stretch shoes with a potato
Don’t throw away a pair of tight shoes right away. Try shaving the skin off a potato and insert it into the shoes overnight. The moisture from the potato will help stretch the shoes a bit. The next morning, you can clean the dirt inside the shoes and you’re done.
Avoid toe pain when wearing flip-flops
After a while of rubbing against your feet, flip-flops can cause pain or even blisters. A simple solution to this is to apply clear nail polish on the strap part that comes in contact with your skin.
Add cushioning for comfort
Some shoes can be too stiff and uncomfortable to wear. An effective solution is to place a sanitary napkin underneath. This not only creates a softer surface for your feet but also provides effective sweat absorption.
Keep shoes warmer
During the cold winter season, you may not always want to wear boots. Therefore, adding a layer of insulation will make any shoes warmer. Simply cut a cotton towel in the shape of the shoe sole, and you have a useful shoe insert.
Reduce friction
You can use fabric tape or ribbons to wrap around the strap part of flip-flops, not only making them more comfortable but also allowing you to refresh the look of the shoes to your liking.
Stretch shoes with socks
Another trick to “save” tight shoes is to roll up a few pairs of socks and stuff them into the shoes until they can no longer be stuffed, then leave them overnight. If needed, you can repeat the process several times until the shoes stretch to the desired size.
Heel padding
If the material of the shoes is too stiff and causes heel pain or the risk of scratches, and you don’t have dedicated heel pads, sanitary pads can once again come to the rescue.
Foot cushioning for loose shoes
Instead of using cotton or tissue paper, a convenient and more comfortable solution is to insert a foam padding at the toe area to fill in the gap.
Invisible socks
In the summer, wearing high heels can make your feet sweat and slippery. The solution at this time is to wear socks to absorb the heat. To avoid showing the socks, you put them on the second and third toes and pull them back behind the heel as shown in the picture.
