LOVE the shoes ~ HATE the blisters!

LOVE the shoes ~ DITCH the blisters!!!

So you went and did it......ordered those amazingly GORGEOUS shoes that you have been wanting!! You justified the "sorta" steep price tag because they are the "ppppperfect" shoe for your wardrobe ~ they go with EVERYTHING!!! You are bound to wear them EVERYDAY!!!! ~~~~ but wait ~~~~ the first time that you wear them out they are suprisingly a little tight and a tad bit stiff....and oh is that your toe or your heel that you hear screaming "OUCHIE".....omg is that a dreaded blister coming on?!?!!!!

What is a girl to do???

HOW TO SOFTEN AND BREAK IN NEW SHOES
&
AVOID GETTING BLISTERS

picture depicts a slight dramatization ha ha ha ha

First I will tell you about a few of the ideas that I have heard......wow!

1....Let someone else wear the shoes first ( um thanks but NO)

2....Peel a potatoe and stuff into the shoe overnight (haha really? puts a whole new spin on smelly shoes)

3....Soak in water and wear around until dry (yeaaa that just doesn't seem like a very good idea)

4....Put a zip-lock baggie full of water inside the shoes and freeze overnight (still water involved = not a good idea)

I don't know it might just be me, but I really would not want to do any of those things to a beloved pair of new shoes!

Soooo ~ Here's what I WOULD do...........

1....Grab up the thickest pair of athletic socks that you have got and put those on with your new shoes (sexy right? ha ha)

2....With your socks and shoes on grab your blow-dryer and on high heat but without holding too close to shoes heat up the stiffest/tightest part of the leather for about 1 minutes.

3....Walk around house until the shoes are completely cooled. The heat will soften the leather helping them to mold to your feet (no two feet are shaped exactly the same and while you can buy your size, you just can't buy for your shape)

Continue doing this for a few days until your shoes feel more and more comfortable without the socks ha ha!

DO NOT ~i repeat~ DO NOT leave your house wearing with socks ha ha for obvious reasons!!


If your shoes are extra stiff in the toes you can sit while watching the telly or surfing the web or whatever and gently holding the heel work the shoe back and forth

After a few days or if super stiff a week you should notice that your shoes are now "made for your feet"!!

Enjoy your rockin' new (comfortable) kicks!!!

Beauty doesn't have to = PAIN

Much Love & More to come,
