We’ve All Been There Before!
So, read on, and we will show you the best way to deal with those dreaded new work shoe dilemmas!
Prevention Is Key
Don’t get too excited when you buy a new pair of flats, don’t jump the gun and slip into these flats when you have a day full of errands to run. Do not take that kind of risk with a new pair of black flat! It is essential to break in a new pair of flats, and here’s what you need to do to make sure that happens…
Shop With Swollen Feet
As sexy as it sounds, when shopping for a new pair of womens flat shoe, it’s essential to shop and try shoes on when your feet are swollen and puffier than usual.
Make this task last on your to-do list after a few hours of shopping. Ensure you have been on your feet for a while, so you know how the ballet flat will feel and fit after being on your feet for a time.
This will also allow for the extra-expanded room that’s needed when your feet have swelled up.
Take Them For A Test Drive
If you can, we recommend going into the shoe shop to try on new flats rather than guessing. Try the shoes on properly in the store and walk around, try doing some movements and activities that you usually would in a pair of tan leather flats.
You want to make sure that these tan flat shoes are comfortable in the store. If you are already feeling some pain, they probably aren’t the right fit for you, and they will become a regrettable sale.
Once you’ve taken your new flats home, again, don’t jump the gun just yet! Wear these flats around the house for at least an hour or so before you debut them at your next event.
By doing this, you are stretching the shoes to mould your feet and will be a lot more comfortable when wearing them out and about.
Chunky Socks
If wearing them in hasn’t helped too much and sore spots are starting to arise, then it might be time to pull out the chunky socks! Yes, you heard that right. Try walking around the house in a pair of chunky socks with animal print flats to stretch out the fabric.
Here’s a handy tip: if you are wearing these regular price flats to work and blisters persist, bring your chunky socks to work with you.
When working at your desk, pop your socks on with your flats underneath your desk. Instead of putting your feet through the turmoil, you will be slowly stretching the shoe’s fabric with the bulkiness of the sock.
After these failed attempts of stretching out your new flats at home with these at-home remedies, then, we recommend getting yourself some additional help to deal with blisters that will naturally come with a new pair of flats.
