What should I do if my shoes rub my feet?

We may have had this experience in our daily lives: we bought a new pair of shoes. Although they were quite comfortable when we tried them on, when we got the shoes home and started to wear them, we found that they were rubbing our feet. At this time, if we put the shoes aside and no longer wear them, we would feel a little sorry, but if we continue to wear them, our feet will suffer. So, what should we do at this time?

1. Apply materials

Apply common materials such as facial cream, white wine, soap, and candle to the areas where your feet are rubbing against your feet. Apply them evenly on the areas where your feet are rubbing against your feet and let them soak overnight. This can help soften the leather.

2. Hammering leather

If the edge of the heel of the shoe rubs your foot, you can use the pounding 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 tap 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 beating that will cause the shoes to not fit your feet.

3. Expanding method

This method can be used if the shoes are too small, or your feet are too fat and the shoes are too tight, causing the forefoot to be 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.

4. Hair dryer method

If your leather shoes are rubbing your feet, squeezing your feet, or feeling uncomfortable, just set the hair dryer you usually use at home to the highest setting, blow dry the shoes at a distance of 20 to 30 cm for 3 to 4 minutes, and then wait for the leather surface of the shoes to cool down slightly before wearing them. You will never feel uncomfortable wearing the shoes again.

It is inevitable that new shoes will rub your feet, and this kind of rubbing will not be discovered when you try them on. You will only find it when you start wearing them seriously. If your shoes are rubbing your feet, you can try the methods introduced by the editor above, which may solve the problem of rubbing your feet.
