Best Shoe Tips


Shopping for shoes could take time especially if you have a unique contour in your feet. Though there are different sizes, still it doesn’t accommodate every length and width of the shoppers. We want our shoes to last long and comfortable in our feet. Here are some tips for common shoe problems

1.       Too Tight Straps
If you caught yourself struggling to tie the straps of your new shoes then a spritz of plain water is all you need. Though shoes naturally stretch as they get worn, you can induce it by gently applying a small amount of water. Presto, problem solved.

2.       Prevent cuts at the back of your heel
It is really painful when our shoes cut the skin in the back of our heels. Oftentimes we think that this is due to a snug fit but actually it is the opposite that is true. Overly spacious shoes let the feet move and shift position inside causing cuts in the skin.

3.       Blisters
Blisters are caused by friction between your feet’s sole and the shoe especially if you are walking for a long time. In order to prevent blisters, a moleskin foam can be inserted first before you wear your shoe. This will absorb friction in your feet.

4.       Scuffed Leather
A tiny scuff can make our new shoes look old so Kimberly Ade, stylist at Keri Blair Image Experts in Denver, polishing our shoes more often. We should at least polish it once every month since a polish leather is less likely to form scratches which can lead to scuffing.


5.       The best time to buy shoes
To avoid tightness of your new shoes, we suggest that you buy your shoes during the end of the day were your feet is swollen and tired. This will ensure that your shoe would still have a good fit even after a long day’s work.
