How to make your shoes more comfortable

Do your feet start hurting when you just look at your favorite pair of shoes? Are your feet slipping forward in your high heels or do you regularly slip out of your flat shoes? Are you head over heels in love with your sandals, but they are too uncomfortable to wear all day? Don’t give up on your shoes yet, because the following inserts will make your shoes easier to wear.

What about other discomforts?

Did you buy that lovely pair of shoes, but they appear to be a little bit too tight? Before burying your shoes in your shoe closet, you might consider to stretch your shoe(s).

Don’t forget this tip next time you go shopping: your feet swell naturally during the day, so shop for shoes in the afternoon to find the best fit and to avoid the tightness and discomfort later.
