What to do if the instep of new shoes is tight

Many people have this feeling when wearing new shoes: the new shoes are tight, especially the instep, and may even cause pain. If you walk too much, it is easy to cause skin damage, blisters, etc. There are many reasons for this situation, mainly because the shoes are relatively small, and also because of the fabric of the shoes. At this time, you can achieve good improvement by applying some materials or hammering the leather.

What to do if the instep of new shoes is tight? 1. Apply materials . Apply common materials such as facial cream, white wine, soap, and candle to the area where the shoes rub your feet. Apply them evenly and soak them overnight to soften the leather. 2. Hammering the leather. If the edge of the heel of the shoe rubs your foot, you can use the hammering method. First, soak a towel in hot water and cover the edge of the heel for a few minutes to make the leather moist and soft, making it easier to deform. Then use a rolling pin, glass bottle or other cylindrical objects to gently knock and roll it until the leather is deformed to the appropriate size. In order to get the right size, you can try them on while beating to avoid excessive hammering that will cause the shoes to not fit your feet.

3. This method can be used if the shoes are too small, or your feet are too fat and the shoes are too tight, resulting in the forefoot being squeezed. Soak the newspaper in water, not too much, just enough to soften it. Then stuff it into the shoes. Depending on the actual situation, decide the amount of newspaper to put in. Leave it for a while and you can achieve the purpose of expanding the shoes. At present, there are businesses that specialize in selling shoe stretchers, which can adjust the size independently. They are very convenient and considerate. Curious netizens can try them. The above three methods are commonly used, but I think they are still not very practical. Below I will introduce the fastest and best method, and the fourth method is the most suitable one I have used.

The fourth method: using a hair dryer to blow dry your leather shoes. If any part of your leather shoes rubs or squeezes your feet, or if they are uncomfortable to wear, just set the hair dryer you usually use at home to the highest setting, blow the shoes at a distance of 20 to 30 centimeters for 3 to 4 minutes, and then wait for the leather surface of the shoes to cool down slightly before you can wear them. You will no longer feel uncomfortable wearing the shoes.
