No one is immune from such trouble, and even carefully selected shoes may one day turn out to be too tight.

In this case, you can try to stretch the pair. In addition, it will be useful to learn about life hacks that can protect feet from known consequences.

If things are really bad, you can go to a workshop where specialists will stretch the shoes using a special device. Otherwise, folk tricks will help.

What to do with tight shoes

1. A hard back can be made more pliable by beating it with a hammer, but you need to cover the shoe with a soft cloth. This is how you "beat" all the places that rub your feet.

2. You can rub these parts of the shoe with wax or dry soap, which will reduce friction and reduce the risk of blisters.

3. Shoes can be stretched in the freezer using water bags.

Prevention of calluses

You can try buying a special remedy for corns, which is used to treat shoes. Vaseline, which is sold in any drugstore, copes with this task just as well.

If you use a patch, it’s better to use silicone – it doesn’t wrinkle or get knocked down, and it’s also invisible on the skin.

Another option is to treat your feet with antiperspirant, after washing and drying them.
