Tips for new leather shoes rubbing your feet on the heels

Many people like to wear new shoes, because new shoes are not only beautiful and elegant, but also very comfortable. However, there are always some new shoes that seem to rub the feet because they have not been run in with the feet. This is especially true for new leather shoes, which are most likely to rub the feet, usually on the heels or the outside of the big toe. So, what are some tips to prevent new leather shoes from rubbing the heels? Let me introduce it to you below.

Here are a few tips to help you get rid of the trouble of new shoes rubbing and pinching your feet.

1. Cover the part of the shoe that rubs your feet with a wet towel for a few minutes. Then take a dry soft towel to wrap the place where your feet are squeezed. Use a hammer to knock the part of the shoe that rubs your feet a few times to make it flat. Once the leather of the shoe becomes soft and flat, it will no longer rub your feet.

2. Take a piece of newspaper, crumple it into a ball, and dip it in water (not too wet, but make sure the whole ball is wet). Then take another piece of dry newspaper to wrap the wet newspaper, stuff it in the part that is squeezing your feet, then seal the shoes in a plastic bag and leave it overnight. That's it.

3. If the new shoes pinch your feet because they are too small, you may try to wet them with a wet towel and then use shoe wedges to stretch them larger so that they will fit your feet better.

4. Before putting on your shoes, take a piece of soap (or a normal candle will do) and apply a thin layer on the part that has most contact with your heels. This will make the heels smooth and will no longer rub your feet.

5. How to deal with heel rubbing: Blowing and smashing method

For shoes that rub your feet on certain parts of your feet, such as the back of your heels or the sides of your toes, which will cause blisters, you can use a hair dryer to blow on the part of your shoes that rubs your feet until the leather becomes soft, and then hit it with a hard object. This method is very good, especially suitable for shoes that rub the back of your heels.
