QUICK SHOE FIXES

How to break in leather pumps:

When your new shoes hurt like hell, pull them on over the thickest socks you can find and give them a blast with a hot hairdryer. A few seconds will help to soften and flex the leather. Wear them around the house until they’ve cooled down, and you’re good to go.

How to prevent new-shoes blisters:

Pop plasters on the shoes themselves in the areas that rub rather than directly on your skin so you don’t sweat the adhesive away.
