It’s an indisputable aspect of being human that we tend to repeat some mistakes. One of the things that buyers regret is choosing uncomfortable shoes. Our top tips for easing the discomfort of your uncomfortable shoes are compiled below. Therefore, please don’t feel bad about your impulsive buying because there are still plenty of ways to improve the comfort of your new shoes.
See our post on preventing foot pain for additional tips on how to keep your feet pain-free.
High heels
Whether you love them or not, they can be found on their own or in a supporting role in the wardrobes of most women and some men. They are a little a lot of terrible by default. They’ve never been that cozy and in the not-too-distant future, they may be but in the meantime, utilize our go-to guide to make them a little less reprehensible.
Good ole Scotch Tape
A very sensitive nerve located in the space between the third and fourth toes of each foot, starting with the big toe, can be relieved of pressure by taping these toes. If you want to try this odd appearance with sandals, use medical tape in the color “naked.” If not, washi tape or Scotch tape will work just fine.
Maxi Pads
Surprisingly, maxi pads the thickest, bouncy ones available feel far superior to store-bought gel inserts in some styles of shoes. Particularly booties benefit from the additional padding. In addition to providing a plush and comfortable place to lay your foot, it also acts as a sponge to absorb perspiration from the feet. Needless to say, do not wear slides or sandals with this.
Strut
Because your calf muscles are pushed and tense when wearing heels, your stance and stride will immediately change. Women typically hobble or take smaller steps when wearing high heels. Try modifying your gait by taking longer strides and swinging your hips, much like a model parading down the catwalk. Models walk in this manner for a very good reason. Thank you very much.
Grit and Bear It
Sanding the outside of your new shoes may sound a little harsh, but you did purchase them because you adore the shiny red bottoms, don’t you? We understand, however sanding the bottoms of slippery soles increases your traction on granite or tile surfaces and significantly reduces the risk of slipping.
Elevate your Toes
A bit of gel or felt metatarsal padding can help relieve some of the pressure on your footballs. You can either DIY these or get them from a drugstore; although they may make your toes feel a little pressed up against the tops of your shoes, they will allow you to stand for longer periods. You may get a similar effect by stuffing cotton balls under your toes.
Sandals
How should I begin? Although sandals are meant to be the most comfortable choice for all, occasionally a very attractive pair will turn out to be highly biting. Calluses, sore calves, and cramped toes are nearly always the result of wearing flip-flops. Unlike most other flip flops, FitMyFoot shoes support your arch and keep you from slamming your feet on the ground when walking which is the primary cause of stiff calves. The ergonomic strap won’t chafe and fits between your toes pleasantly. When purchasing sandals, it’s important to keep in mind that they should support the rear of your foot as well. A quality footbed provides far more support than an insert.
Guard those Toes
If you have delicate skin between your toes that chafes easily, silicone toe guard posts are your best bet.
Skip the Slip
Your foot sliding in a sandal without a back strap can also create pain and strain in your calves and arches. To help keep things a little more stable, place sticky pad inserts on the footbed. Gel inserts give your walk a little extra spring.
Strap Up
Silicone straps, which resemble double-sided tape and are a godsend when your feet’s sensitive skin starts screaming obscenities at you, are a great alternative to straps that give you blisters and other unpleasant feelings. Double-sided tape can also be used in a pinch, although it is extremely difficult to remove.
Protect the Pinky
The general construction of the sandal squeezes your toes to the point where the pinky falls off worse than the other toes, making this sort of sandal known for trying to compel you to amputate your pinky toe. Either wrap the pinky with medical tape or get the incredibly comfy, if odd-looking, rubber toe caps to save it. Styles that flaunt your entire behind are not appropriate for these.
