Almost every person has to deal with the problem of shoes rubbing their feet. A callus appears on the foot or heel, which causes considerable discomfort. To avoid this, you can first break in your shoes correctly so that you can then walk comfortably in them.
Boots rub your heel
Both new and old models can be rubbed. And there are reasons for this.
Why do they rub it?
Calluses due to uncomfortable shoes appear all over the foot on the toes. It all depends on individual characteristics, skin sensitivity and type of product. Most often, the back rubs. If the shock on the shoe is very dense, then when walking it rubs against the heel, rubbing the delicate skin. The main reason for such problems is the inappropriate size or improper storage of the product, which causes it to become deformed.
Leather models can chafe when your feet swell after a hard day at work. Usually a new pair rubs, since the old one has already taken the desired shape and does not cause discomfort.
What to do
The first thing you need to do is choose the right model and size of boots. Only the correct size and high-quality material will ensure long and comfortable wear.
When trying on, wear two feet. You need to walk around the room a little to feel if your foot is comfortable. If there is discomfort, the heel is unstable or feels tight somewhere, this is not your model.
Most often, boots will stretch a little after wear, however, the differences will be small. Therefore, it is better to choose products in your size.
Often, when buying a comfortable, high-quality model of the right size, your heels still rub. This may be due to the material the boots are made from. If it is quite dense and rigid, then the seam at the back may rub in the heel area. Over time, the shoes will take on the desired shape of the foot and the calluses will disappear. But, if you want to speed up this process, then you can use proven stretching methods.
Forcibly demolish
To prevent your heels from chafing, you need to break in your shoes well. To do this, you can take two bags of water and put them in your shoes. Then put it in the freezer overnight. When water crystallizes, it expands, which causes the shoes to stretch.
Today on the shoe market there are many products for stretching shoes. They are sold in spray or foam form. The product should be applied to shoes, then put on your shoes and walk around in them for several days.
A hammer will help soften the hard backdrop. They need to tap the back of the shoe a little. Another effective way is to walk in shoes and terry socks. This procedure needs to be done for several days in a row and then the boots will take on the desired shape.
Silicone pads
In order not to injure the delicate skin of the heel, you can buy silicone pads.They are easily attached to the inside of the backdrop and are not felt when walking. This device helps to avoid injury to the skin and will make new boots more comfortable.
Shoemaker's help
If you were unable to break in uncomfortable shoes on your own, you can always seek the help of a specialist. If calluses appear due to a rough joint on the back of the product, the shoemaker will be able to soften it or sew a patch there for comfortable walking. It will also help to quickly and accurately stretch any leather or suede product.
If you realize that your shoes don't suit you. When walking there are unpleasant and painful sensations, then it is best to refuse such shoes. They can be exchanged for a more convenient model or simply returned to the store. In the case when you don’t want to part with any shoes due to discomfort, forced stretching or silicone pads will come to the rescue.
