What to do if rubbing shoes - rubbing shoes

How often, shoeing in the morning with pleasure and joy a new pair of shoes, by the evening we return with swollen and exhausted feet in calluses and scuffs! All the joy of beautiful shoes is permanently spoiled, since the grinded feet will have to be treated for a long time, and you'll have to walk in old, soft and comfortable shoes, almost in slippers.

What should I do to rid myself of the problems with rubbing and wear my favorite shoes with pleasure, and not with pain? There are several simple ways to cope with this situation.

How to carry tight shoes

Are you going to a party, a visit or a walk and you have new shoes? Have pity on your feet and do not spoil your holiday. If the shoes do not press anywhere when fitting, this does not mean that during the socks such "pleasant" features will not appear, like sticking out sharp details, rubbing the heel or embroidering decorative details on the bones of the fingers. To avoid such "surprises", just skate new shoes, sandals or boots at home and wear them for a few days at least an hour a day. This will help the product to take the shape of your foot, and also prompts for the location of corns or abrasions. During the time of wearing shoes at home, you will be able to detect sticking threads or pieces of trim that can be trimmed carefully, find out exactly where the shoes are rubbing and whether it matches their size.

If it turns out that the new pair of shoes is rubbed due to the fact that it is too small, you can try to carry it. Remember that it is realistic to do this if the difference in size is not more than half the size.

You can use the "grandmother's" methods to wear:

• Wearing new shoes on a thick toe. This is the safest way in all respects. With him, it is impossible to damage an expensive pair of shoes, nor to "torture" your legs.
• Wet shoes from the inside with water before shoeing. A risky method, as it can leave the unbranded spots, severely deform the shape of the shoes, cause the parts to be peeled off and finishes. This method is good in the case if it turns out that only some part of the shoe interferes, for example, the side part presses. It's enough to moisten it with a little water and use a couple of hours to get the desired effect.
• Use of alcohol as a means to wear. A fairly effective, but also a dangerous method. It can provoke a strong deformation and stretching of shoes and boots from very thin skin, as well as the appearance of stains, especially on colored, suede and textile products. Alcohol also dries heavily the skin and feet, can cause persistent staining of the dye shoe. Shoes, stretched this method, can "paint" for a long time, spoiling hosiery.

How to deal with this

Shoes can be new or old, match your size, but from time to time rub your feet in different places. This can be caused by many causes - swelling on a hot day or with heavy physical exertion, increased sweating, dust, sand in the shoes, a peculiarity of the structure of the foot, inconsistency of the chosen pair and many other factors.

There are several options for actions that are taken if rubbing shoes. All of them are designed to either reduce friction, or eliminate its cause.

Rubbing summer shoes

If your favorite summer sandals with straps rub you sensitive corns, buy special silicone adhesive stripes. They are glued on the straps from the underside so that they touch the skin, not allowing you to crush and rub your feet with the very material of the shoes. This is a great way to get rid of the problems with elegant shoes on hot summer days and evenings, when the "steamed" legs are simply cut to the blood by straps and the edges of fashionable sandals.

Shoes rubbing heel

Closed shoes are characterized by another "sin" - it often rubs the heel. Get rid of this can be a simple method - rub the backside of the inside with a candle, a piece of wax or rosin. These substances will smooth the surface of the backdrop and make it smooth, more gliding.

Sometimes the cause of rubbing the heel is an inconspicuous protrusion in the back or a rough seam. Feel the back with your hands, remove any protruding threads or details, and iron the rough seam with the force of the three-dimensional handle of the table knife. This will iron the bumps, and make the seam more flat. Also, when rubbing the heel helps powder the feet and shoes from inside with talcum powder, baby powder or finely ground magnesia powder. In addition to facilitating the wearing of shoes, these funds eliminate the excessive allocation of sweat.

Rubbing the edge of shoes

Sometimes it so happens that the shoes are fine, but one edge of it literally digs into the skin. Usually this happens at the junction of two or more parts. If you do not know what to do with such a pair, try to purchase the same silicone self-adhesive pads, as well as special strips for sandals. They have the form of a small circle or oval, are attached from the inside to the place where there is a defect. Usually this is enough to make wearing shoes easier and more comfortable.
