Your new shoes torture your feet ? This, alas, is frequent. First option: step by step mold them to your foot. By wearing them an hour every day for example. Do not you have patience? We understand. So, rather than suffer while waiting for your new shoes (heel or not) to be done , here is what can be done to relax them without damaging them!

Fabric softener rather than newsprint

As a preamble, we advise you to avoid the crumpled newspaper and the hair dryer: nothing to retract and harden the leather. Result It is still worse than before. not to mention that it can also strike him.

The right method for softly softening new shoes: sprinkle the inside of the shoes with a suitable fabric softener (Shoes-Eze type, about 9 €) and put on illico to work the leather smoothly. If you find a shape to force screw (in beech, 40 € on monsieurchaussure.com) - not to be confused with a shoe - you can try to relax the leather itself, but going soft and nourishing it with a protective milk.

The coordinator option

Last resort (but not the least) : the " putting on form" option in a shoemaker : this technique allows a softening or even an enlargement of the shoes, depending on the models for about ten euros. A good option when we bought the shoes of his dreams and our foot refuses to put on!

Thanks to the shoemaker Minuit Less 7 for his advice.
