The Newspaper Trick
This method involves moistening newspaper, stuffing it into your shoes, and letting it dry for at least 24 hours. This relaxes the leather and softens the shoes, adding a few millimeters of comfort and relieving foot pain.
The Shoemaker’s Trick
If you prefer a professional touch, use wooden or metal shoe trees. Insert them into your shoes for several days. These spacers can adjust the length or width of the shoes. For suede or leather shoes, spray a dilator before using the shoe trees.
Foot Care Tips
Taking care of your feet is essential. According to Marie Claire, here are some tips:
- Hydrate Them: Dry skin on feet can lead to corns, calluses, and other issues. Use a moisturizer with less than 10% urea and try natural remedies to eliminate calluses.
- Do Scrubs: Feet endure daily stress. Give them a brown sugar scrub to nourish the skin, remove dead skin, and make them softer.
- Avoid Sweating: Sweat can cause bacteria and fungi growth, leading to bad odors. Use talcum powder in your shoes and treat your feet to a peppermint oil foot bath every evening.
- Take Care of Your Nails: Regularly cut and file your toenails, and apply a silicon protector for a shiny appearance.
By following these tips, you can comfortably wear your favorite shoes and keep your feet healthy.
