There is nothing worse than buying a shoe that you have really liked and discovering how uncomfortable it can be over time. Even shoes that are not uncomfortable can become a tool of torture over the years. These 11 tips will help to solve some widespread problems with shoes.
1- Tape the third and fourth toes to master the high-heeled shoes
Tape these toes together to ease nerve tension and prevent foot pain when wearing high heels. In doing so, you relieve tension in the nerve between these toes and avoid pain in the sole of your foot.
2- Use dry tea bags to absorb odors from shoes and sneakers
Place dry tea bags in shoes to absorb odors and keep them fresh.

3- Attach a piece of very soft fabric to pad the straps of the shoes, which can sometimes tighten
4- Make your fabric shoes waterproof using wax.
Rub beeswax or candle paraffin and then, with a dryer at a boiling temperature, melt it until it is transparent and is absorbed by the fabric. Repeat this process a few times to waterproof the shoes.
5- Wrap pieces of cloth in the sandals to make them much more comfortable
Adding fabric or cloth inside your sandals can provide extra padding and reduce pressure points, making the sandals more comfortable to wear for longer periods.
6- Apply gel deodorant to the shoe in those areas more prone to the formation of blisters on the feet, such as the heel and on the sides, to avoid them
Gel deodorant creates a smooth, lubricated surface, reducing friction on the skin in areas like the heel or the sides of the feet. This helps prevent blisters by minimizing irritation and rubbing.
7- Use talcum powder under the shoe's insole if it is creaking too much
Talcum powder absorbs moisture and reduces friction, which can stop squeaky sounds caused by movement. It also helps keep your feet dry, which can prevent discomfort or blisters.
8- Sand the soles of shoes (especially new ones) with medium sandpaper to prevent them from slipping too much
Sanding the soles of new shoes, especially those made of smooth leather or rubber, adds texture and increases traction. This helps prevent slipping, particularly on slippery floors or surfaces.
9- Make a special insole if your foot slips too much into the shoe.
Using your own foot, scribble on a soft and resistant fabric a mold of it and cut it out. Glue this new insole inside the shoe.
10- Stretch tight shoes using water bags and your freezer
