Your feet should not hurt! Your foot is a network of 26 bones, 29 joints and many muscles. On average, you take several thousand steps every day. So if the shoe doesn't fit, try stretching it.
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Stretcher/ Shoekeepers
Shoe Shining/cleaning Kits
Athletic Shoe Cleaners
Step 1
Purchase a professional quality shoe stretcher from your local shoe repair shop. For ladies' shoes, the stretchers go by shoe size and are designed for both low heel and high heel shoes, with bunion attachments.
Step 2
Get a bottle of liquid shoe stretch to spray on your shoes while using the wooden shoe stretcher. If your shoes are leather, you'll have greater success.
Step 3
Consider taking the shoes to a professional shoe repair shop. They often use a stretching machine to apply specific pressure and heat precisely where the shoe hurts ' including length, toe raise, instep stretching and so on. On occasion, they'll speed up the process with a leather softening agent.
Tips & Warnings
Purchase shoes at the end of the day, or after work or playing sports, for best fit.
Measure both feet, as no two feet are the same size. Purchase shoes for the larger foot.
Walk around the store to ensure a comfortable fit before buying, and always try on shoes with the socks or hosiery with which you will wear them.
Don't plan on shoes stretching with wear. If they aren't comfortable, don't buy them.
