Has your shopping spree gone wrong?
Are you straining to fit into the shoes you bought yesterday?
Or, are your feet slipping out of your shoes because they are too loose or big?
Buying shoes is always a hassle as you have to make sure they fit perfectly. Imagine this. The shoes that you have been dreaming of buying were on sale. However, in your haste to get your hands on the gorgeous shoes, you got high heels that are too loose to wear or pumps that are too tight.
What do you do in such a situation?
Well, depending on your situation, here are a few hacks that you can try to ensure a comfortable fit.
For Shoes That Are Too Tight:
Use a Shoe Stretcher
A shoe stretcher is a handy device that can help you out if your shoes are too tight. It may look like a complicated contraption, but it’s not. Just insert them in your tight shoes and leave them there for a few days. Soon, your shoes will fit you perfectly!
However, if you are looking for instant results, you don’t need to buy a shoe stretcher. All you need are two small zip lock bags. Fill them both with water and place them in your shoes. Put the shoe in the freezer and leave them there for 7-8 hours. As the water freezes, it will expand, stretching your shoe with it. It’ll take a few hours for this remedy to work, but it’s better than waiting a couple of days.
Stretching your shoes is easier as compared to making them smaller but thankfully, there is a long list of helpful hacks that can help you out. Your loose pumps don’t stand a chance against these great tips.
For Shoes That Are Too Loose:
Shoe Fillers
If you have high heels that are too loose for you, your feet will slide in easily, but soon, your toes will crunch up to hold your feet in place. You can’t cut the shoes to reduce the length, but you can certainly use products to fit into them better. This is where shoe fillers come in. You can just insert them in the toe area and your shoes will fit comfortably. They are available in different sizes and are perfect for closed high heels.
Ball of Foot Cushions
These half insoles provide your feet with a textured grip that prevents slipping. So, even if you have high heels that are too loose for your feet, half insoles will keep your feet in place. The best part is that you can use them in almost all shoes, but the downside is that they do result in sweating. When buying half insoles, make sure you go for thick ones as they provide a better grip.
Heel Liners
If you want the perfect grip when wearing loose heels, you can use heel liners. They not only help to shorten the length of the shoes, but they also work to prevent blisters. They are available in a few different materials and you can choose the one that suits you the best.
The best part about these 3 hacks is that you can use them together to get the perfect fit.
