It happens to everyone. The time comes to buy new shoes...but after you've gone home and put them on, you find they're uncomfortable and tight. Wasted money? No, there is a solution. Read more to find out what you can do.
You may have never even heard of shoe stretchers, but you'll be glad you are now. We're all familiar with the scenario of buying new shoes. Time to toss out the old raggedy pair you've been hanging onto for the past two years if you're a guy, or perhaps time to add a new pair to your already overwhelming collection if you're anything like a particular lady friend this author knows. So you go to the shoe store and try on countless different pairs of shoes. Too big, too small, too ugly. Finally, you find the pair you know is for you - they're perfect. The size feels a bit snug but not too bad, and besides, these shoes are stylish. You make the purchase and go home feeling great about your new pair of shoes.
The next morning you're getting ready for work or school, and eagerly put your new shoes on. Feeling confident in the feet zone, you go about your day.
But disaster strikes.
Your feet are in pain. Your new shoes that felt comfortable enough the previous evening are now tight and painful (but at least they still look great). You get home and wearily tug the offending footwear off, wondering why this could happen. Maybe you're considering returning the shoes (not as easy as it sounds, trust me).
So what's the solution? Anyone else might go out and get another pair of shoes and hope for the best. Not you, though - you know that you have one simple thing to do to make your new shoes comfortable as can be.
A shoe stretcher - often called a shoe expander - looks a bit like a little foot. Often wooden or plastic, you can insert them into your shoes and they do exactly what their name implies - stretch your shoes. Gone are the days of "breaking in" your new shoes. If your shoes are leather, often a shoe stretcher will come with a special "stretching oil" to apply on the outside of the shoe to ease and hasten the process.
How long does this take? Generally no more than a day or two. If you feel your shoes starting to tighten up after leaving the shoe stretcher in overnight, put it in again. This is the easiest and quickest way to make your shoes comfortable and exactly the right size for you - not to mention for those of us who suffer from the occasional bunion or corn (guilty) this can make the process of using new shoes tremendously easier.
So what are you waiting for? Get those new shoes out of the closet and onto your feet where they belong after using some quality shoe stretchers.
