How to Make Shoes More Comfortable

Need to make your shoes more comfortable? There is nothing worse than buying a pair of expensive shoes only to find out that they are not as comfortable as you anticipated. This can be fixed with a small investment. It is definitely cheaper than buying another pair of shoes. This is how to make your current shoes more comfortable.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Try stretching the new shoe. If you have new shoes, getting that "broke in" feeling can be progressed. You can either buy a shoe stretcher or just put your shoes through some rigorous motions to loosen them up. Try dampening the inside of the shoes and bend the shoes in a natural walking fashion.

2. Reinforce the inner portion of the shoe with an insole. Insoles can take the worst shoe and make it comfortable. Insoles are relatively affordable and can be transferred from one shoe to another. This way you will never have to worry about buying another pair of uncomfortable shoes. I would advise trying the soles out before buying them. Insoles have different comforts that they target. You can also check your foot pressure points with the Dr. Scholls Custom Fit Center. You can visit the Dr. Scholls website to find one near you.

3. Have your foot measured by a professional. You may have wider than normal feet. If you have wide feet and are buying standard shoes, your feet will obviously become uncomfortable. Taking the time to have your feet measured may just save you years of foot and back pain.
