At certain frantic times of the year, we often end up making last-minute purchases for social engagements, be it a festive suit, sparkly dress or embellished clutch.
But one of the most problematic items of clothing to buy just before a party is a new pair of shoes.
Because the chances are, those babies are going to rub, leaving you with sore feet, blisters and hobbling home in the wee hours having been unable to enjoy the event.
It usually takes time to break in a new pair of shoes, but fortunately there is a secret to wearing them in quickly.
Here’s what to do:
Put thick socks on your feet.
- Blast one of the shoes all over with a hair dryer for around a minute, until it’s warm and soft.
- Put the shoe on your foot.
- Repeat with the other shoe.
- Walk around your house at least until the shoes have cooled - the longer you can keep them on the better.
- If you have time, ideally do this a couple of times.
- Then enjoy comfortable shoes that are molded to your feet and won’t pinch, squeeze or rub your toes.
That way you can dance all night, with making sure to show off your best shapes on the D-floor your only concern.
