New shoes often chafe your feet. This is a big problem that brings a lot of inconvenience.
Why do new shoes rub
New boots, shoes, sandals or boots can chafe for a variety of reasons.
In addition, shoes can put pressure on the foot in absolutely different places: in the heel, little toe, ankle, and even on the side of the foot.
However, most often the problem is concentrated in the hard heel area of the shoes.
This rubs the skin of the heel until it bleeds and leads to wounds and painful calluses.
What to do if your shoes rub your feet
To break in leather shoes that chafe, wear this at home with wool socks.
Wear your new pair around the house for a few hours to soften the skin and adjust the heel to your foot anatomy.
If you fail to stretch at one time, repeat the procedure several times.
Also, lubricate the inner surface where it rubs with glycerin or fatty cream.
Pre-prep your shoes by holding a warm, damp cloth in them. Take it out once it has cooled and then apply glycerin to the inside.
If they are still causing problems after this, you may need to stretch the shoes slightly.
In addition, you can use special stretchers that will help stretch shoes that are too small and rub your feet.
