What should I do if my child's shoes rub his feet?

When we first put on newly bought shoes, our feet sometimes feel irritated. This is true for adults and children alike. When children tell us that their feet are hurt by being rubbed by shoes, or when we see their little feet that are red, swollen or blistered from being rubbed by shoes, as parents we want to throw away those shoes. The pain we feel is beyond words. However, it is a common problem that new shoes rub your feet. What should we do?

1. You can use a wet sponge to wet the shoe leather that rubs your foot. It will soften after an hour and you won’t be uncomfortable wearing it again. But don't wet the leather of your shoes often, as that will not be good for protecting your leather shoes. You can also apply white wine to the parts of your shoes that rub your feet, soak them for about 5 to 15 minutes, wait for them to soften slightly, then put them on and walk. After they dry, they will no longer rub your feet. You can also spray alcohol on a cloth strip and wait until it is wet, then stuff the cloth strip into the shoe and wear it the next day. Use your hands to gently knead the area where your foot is rubbed to make the shoe soft, but do not use too much force to avoid wrinkling the shoe surface.

2. Use tape to stick on the place where the shoes rub against the feet. After a period of time, the feet will not be rubbed too much.

3. Fold the part that rubs your foot inward and make it concave, and step on it as if you were wearing slippers. Then it will feel much better after a few days.

4. Cover the area where your feet are rubbing with a wet cloth, and then hit it repeatedly with a small hammer to make it soft. Then it won’t rub your feet anymore.

5. Cover the part of the shoe that rubs your feet with a wet towel for a few minutes. Then take a dry soft towel to wrap the place where your feet are squeezed. Use a hammer to knock the part of the shoe that rubs your feet a few times to make it flat. Once the leather of the shoe becomes soft and flat, it will no longer rub your feet.

6. Take a piece of newspaper, crumple it into a ball, and dip it in water (not too wet, but make sure the whole ball is dipped in water). Then take another piece of dry newspaper to wrap the wet newspaper, stuff it into the part that is squeezing your feet, then seal the shoes in a plastic bag and leave them overnight. That's it.

7. If the new shoes pinch your feet because they are too small, you may try to wet them with a wet towel and then use shoe wedges to stretch them larger so that they will fit your feet better.

8. Before putting on your shoes, take a piece of soap (or a normal candle will do) and apply a thin layer of soap on the part that has most contact with your heels. This will make the heels smooth and will no longer rub your feet.

The above methods can solve the problem of children’s new shoes rubbing their feet. Be sure to collect them for your children. Of course, this method can also be used to solve the problem of new shoes rubbing our feet. It is recommended that when buying new shoes for children, you must pay attention to choosing soles that are not too thick, so that they will have better stability. Also, don't blindly pursue "one size bigger". Shoes that are too big will make it difficult for children to find balance and may cause them to fall.
