Tips on how to adjust the size of tight shoes

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but it is important to have a pair of shoes that fit your feet. If the shoes don’t fit, you can’t take a single step. Now that the Internet is well developed, online shopping has become a fashion. Online shopping does provide convenience, but it also has some small troubles. For example, if you don’t wear clothes and shoes in person, there will inevitably be some differences. New shoes are usually tight and will take some time to fit properly. So how can you make the shoes bigger without wearing them?

1. Stuff the shoes with newspapers. Roll the newspapers into a ball and stuff them into the toe box. Try to fill it as full as possible, and try to fill it as full as possible horizontally. Small shoes will pinch your feet, so this will loosen them up a little. In addition, if the shoe is small in length, fill the entire shoe. It will be much better after 2 weeks.

2. Before putting on the shoes, take a piece of soap (or a normal candle will do) and treat the part that has the most contact with the heel to reduce friction. Apply a thin layer of soap and the heel will become smooth and will no longer rub your feet.

4. Use a small hair dryer to blow on the area where your feet are rubbed for a few minutes, then stop, then blow for a few minutes again and stop. Repeat this several times. The area that has been blown will become much softer. Then apply a layer of hand cream with a thicker oil content. Your feet will not be rubbed when you wear them the next day. However, this method only works for leather shoes.

5. Blow steam into the shoes from the spout of a boiling kettle for a few minutes, wear a pair of thin socks at home to support them, wear them for an hour each time, and repeat if it doesn't work.

7. I have used it myself. First buy an insole to increase the height of the shoe, and then go to a shoe repair shop and ask the shoe repairman to use a hammer to hammer it until it is comfortable for you to wear. But this depends on your own judgment. Too much will make the shoes too big. Try a few times first. Everyone has different sizes of feet.

8. Using ankle stickers can not only fix the heels, but also prevent direct contact between the feet and shoes, thus avoiding foot friction. Just stick such a protective sticker on the back of the ankle when wearing shoes. Many ankle patches also have health care functions. They not only protect the back of the ankle, but also provide medical care for the feet.
