  1. Put your new shoes in the freezer overnight to make them more comfortable
  2. Rub a bar of soap on the back of your new shoes for a softer feel
  3. Stick an ice pack inside each shoe and let it sit for 20 minutes
  4. Soak your feet in warm water with Epsom salt before wearing new shoes
  5. Wear thicker socks or use foot powder if you're experiencing discomfort from tightness around the toes, arch, heels, etc...
  6. Try different brands of shoes - some may fit better than others (even if they are the same size) and there is always room for improvement.

I know you guys are in the same boat as me. You buy new shoes and they're stiff and uncomfortable to walk in, but after a few days of wearing them they're finally comfortable. So how do we speed up this process? I found that adding shoe inserts or gel insoles will help soften the back of your shoes faster than just wearing them.

When someone has half of an inch between their foot and the end of the shoe's length they have gained or lost 1/64th of an inch from their previous measurement - which is significant when it comes to comfort! This topic is very personal for me because my feet are so narrow and I always need to buy shoes that have at least half an inch extra space in them. Luckily, there are many online retailers who carry shoes with sizes smaller than 5.5.

A lot of people think that a shoe size increase of 0.5 is not significant. But what about those who need the smaller shoe size? What if they don't have shoes to fit their feet or they can't find shoes in their size? This post will explore the importance of having a variety of sizes for those who require it and how this impacts personal satisfaction with footwear and quality of life.

I am a shoe addict and I love shoes. But, I have always wondered if my obsession with shoes is worth it. Is the 0.5 size difference really that noticeable? To find out, I did some research on the internet to see what others say about this topic. It turns out that there are lots of people who feel like they need to buy new shoes because their feet have grown during pregnancy or just because they want to try something different! There are many reasons for getting more than one pair of shoes in your lifetime, but does size matter? Read more below to find out.

  1. Place the shoe on a flat surface and use a hammer to tap the heel of the shoe
  2. Apply some pressure to break in the back of the shoe, using your hands or feet
  3. Continue this process until you feel that your shoes are comfortable enough for wear
  4. Repeat this process with other shoes until they all fit comfortably
  5. Store new shoes in their original box when not wearing them so they don't get dirty or damaged by other items in your closet.

Do shoes stretch over time?

The age-old question of "do shoes stretch over time?" has been popping up more and more lately. There is a lot of conflicting information out there on the internet, and it seems like everyone has their own opinion. Some say yes, some say no. So what's the deal? Well now you can find out for yourself by reading this blog post.


This is a question that many people have asked themselves at one point or another. The answer may not be as straightforward as you think. There are several factors to consider when trying to find out how much your shoes will stretch over time, including the brand of shoe, the style of shoe, and the type of materials used for construction. All these things can affect how your shoe stretches so it's difficult to give an exact number on how much they'll stretch over time.
