Tight Shoes? Try Using a Blow Dryer to Break Them In
Everyone loves the feeling of acquiring a new pair of shoes, but the process of breaking them in? Not so much. New shoes often feel tight, leading to discomfort and blisters, making those initial wears quite unpleasant. To bypass this discomfort and expedite the breaking-in process, you can easily do this at home using just a hairdryer and a pair of thick socks.
Start by directing warm air from the hairdryer onto your new shoes to make them more pliable. Then, wear the thick socks and slip your feet into the shoes. Continue applying warm air as you gently walk around in them until they cool down. The heat helps the material of the shoes expand and mold to the shape of your feet, ensuring a comfortable fit once they’ve cooled down. This method significantly reduces the time and pain typically associated with breaking in new footwear.
