Purchase Your Shoes in the Afternoon.

Match, we’re as surprised as you are. But here’s why: Your feet have most likely swollen and returned to the standard size by the afternoon. It will save you because your heels will no longer pinch you as your feet swell.

To fit shoes, use cotton balls.

You probably bought those heels because they were beautiful but were too big for your feet, and you hoped your feet would grow to fit. We’re sorry to disappoint you; you may have made a lousy investment; however, please reconsider before you throw them away—stuff cotton balls into your heels, particularly the front, where your feet rest. Make sure to use the proper amount of cotton balls so that your heels do not become too tight on your feet.

Green Tea can help you relax and restore your feet.

You’ve probably heard of Green Tea for weight loss and other benefits, but you’ll also need it to relax and restore your feet.

Fill a bowl with warm water, add two tea bags, let it simmer, and immerse your feet in the mixture. Allow your feet to soak in the water for a few minutes before massaging them.

To avoid sliding in your heels, use baby powder or panty liner.

Sweaty feet can be annoying for various reasons, one of which is difficulty walking in your pretty heels. As a result, your poor toes may begin to clench as your feet try to grip.

Baby powder absorbs moisture and leaves your heel smelling nice, so it’s a great way to keep your feet dry.

Using a thin panty liner in your heels will provide you with a pleasant pillow sensation while also absorbing sweat that would otherwise cause sliding. Just be sure to use a thin liner rather than a soft pant liner.

Dry shampoo and hair spray, on the other hand, can keep your heels from sliding forward.

To avoid pain, tape your toes.

Tape your third and fourth toes when wearing your closed toe shoes to avoid pain when wearing heels. The tape relieves pressure on your feet and blocks nerve endings, reducing pain.

To stretch your heels, blow dry them.

If you have a great pair of heels but don’t fit, use a blow dryer to stretch them. The blow dryer will help make your heels broader and more comfortable to wear, but be careful not to overheat them.
