You bought a brand new pair of heels and are about to go out with the girls, date night, party or event, nothing is worse than having your night ruined from your feet hurting too much, trust me been there done that. I'm going to let you know my favorite tricks for breaking in my heels.
Socks. Socks. Socks.
This is my favorite way of breaking in heels, wear a pair of socks while wearing your heels around the house. This will give them an extra stretch and forgiving on your feet, no time for blisters. My boyfriend applauds me when my pajama pants, socks, and heels all match.
Hairdryer
Now you're thinking I'm crazy but these work, take it from a girl who loves heels but can not stand pain. While wearing your socks (you do not have to but I recommend it) focus on the stiffer parts of your shoe (especially where your toes are and heel) this will help stretch the material and form to your foot as it cools.
Band-aids
If you aren't going to be using socks I highly recommend you put band-aids on your feet while breaking them in, your feet will thank you.
Water & Ice
Taking a zip lock bag filling it halfway with water, add it to the toe part of your shoe, next put the shoe in the freezer overnight. This one works great when you are in a time crunch and don't want to parade around in your pajamas and heels.
Potato
Just like the freezer trick, if you peel a potato and leave it in your shoe overnight it will stretch your shoe out, make sure the potato isn't too small or large for your shoe.
Taking the time to break in your heels or any shoe really is worth the time and effort. Your feet will thank you in the end.
