There are so many styles of shoes nowadays, and everyone is picky. Although we know that the most important thing about shoes is comfort, we cannot resist the temptation of beautiful shoes and will buy some beautiful but not so comfortable shoes. In addition, with the development of the Internet, more and more people like online shopping. However, you cannot try the shoes you buy online. What should you do if they are too small and squeeze your toes? The following are the two situations above. Let's talk about what to do if the shoes are too small and squeeze your toes.

Solution 1 for "What to do if your shoes squeeze your feet":

Use a small hair dryer to blow on the area where your feet are rubbing for a few minutes, then stop, blow for a few minutes again, then stop, and repeat this process several times.

The blown area will be softened a lot, and then apply a layer of hand cream with thicker oil.

It won't rub your feet anymore. However, this method only works for leather shoes.

Solution 2 for "What to do if your shoes squeeze your feet":

Stick the Band-Aid directly on the part of your shoe that rubs your foot. This will save you money and time. If your foot is already rubbed, stuff some soft gauze or toilet paper in the middle of the Band-Aid that is covering the wound and then stick it on.

Solution 3 for "What to do if your shoes squeeze your feet":

Use white wine, soak a piece of cotton with the white wine, then wrap the cotton around the inside of the shoe where your foot is rubbing, and then use a small hammer to gently tap on the cotton. This will soften the leather of your new shoes.

Solution 4 for "What to do if your shoes squeeze 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 dipped in water). Then wrap the wet newspaper with a piece of dry newspaper and stuff it into the part that is squeezing your feet. Then seal the shoes in a plastic bag and leave them overnight.

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 of soap on the part that has most contact with your heels. This will make the heels smooth and will no longer rub your feet.
