The width of the shoe does not fit. What if the shoes are too big? How to wear big shoes

For some, this is only a way to protect their feet from the negative effects of the environment, for some it is a technique for self-expression, and for a number of consumers it is an indicator of the owner's status. And all this is about one thing - about shoes. And men and women different ages at least once, but faced with the fact that the purchase of a beautiful pair has already been made, but it is impossible to wear: the size is large. So what can you do? Return to the store (and if you bought it hand-held, then what?) Let's choose the latter and see if we can reduce the volume and size. Moreover, sometimes the shoes just wear out and get big, so the first two solutions certainly won't work.

Right 14 days

According to current legislation, you can return shoes that did not fit in size or for other reasons within 14 days from the date of purchase. But at the same time, the product must comply with a number of parameters:

be without signs of wearing outdoors or indoors;
have a marketable appearance (that is, without creases, abrasions, etc.);
be in the original configuration (that is, in a box, with heels, insoles, etc., which was in stock at the time of purchase).

For the correct registration of the return (or exchange, if there is such an opportunity), the buyer must provide a sales receipt (or a copy of it), a warranty card for shoes and a passport.

Myth or reality

Large-sized shoes are good only in childhood for playing with mothers and daughters, and in adult life this problem causes a lot of inconvenience

First you need to find out what characteristics the steam does not fit in size. First, the shoes can be longer than your foot. Second: the shoes may not fit the width of the foot. So, is it possible to make the downsize dream come true? Of course yes. Moreover, there are even 2 approaches for this.

Contact a workshop. Professionals will use a full or partial constriction, that is, they will separate the heel and sole, and the top will be attached to the last of the desired size. This is if the shoes do not fit in length. If the pair is wide, then they will sew it in or pick up another way to solve the problem.

It is interesting. Not all shoemakers will take on a non-leather pair, and even more so for sneakers or sneakers with a special cut. But sandals, clogs or slippers can only be narrowed in the workshop, where the straps are carefully evaporated, shortened and sewn into place.

Try to take advantage folk wisdom... This is where there are no restrictions on the quality of shoes. Only by material, although there are methods suitable for all types. Let's start with them.

Versatile ways to reduce shoe size at home

Photo gallery: Special shoe inserts

Cushioning insole - the best way to reduce the length and volume of athletic shoes Toe pads are indispensable for shoes on high heels Such an unusual insole can really reduce the size of the shoe.

Special insoles. An additional insole is inserted into each shoe, and if it is still inconvenient, then 2 is possible. This technique is possible only for closed shoes, but the insoles can be used for “ different seasons»: Made of foam rubber, synthetics or wool. Using this method has another bonus: the insoles protect delicate skin feet from calluses and rubbing.

It is interesting. This downsizing method is especially useful for sneakers and other athletic shoes as it adds a cushioning effect.

Silicone heel pad. Despite the fact that the main task of such "half insoles" is to protect against chafing and prevent slipping, they do an excellent job of reducing the size of the shoe.

It is interesting. For shoes with heels over 7 cm, silicone heel inserts increase the risk of ankle injury.

Shock-absorbing toe pads. This method is just the solution for lovers of high heels, as it allows you to achieve not only a reduction in size, but also saves you from fatigue when walking on stiletto heels for a long time.
Cotton wool, cloth or paper. A primitive method, which was used by our grandparents, if the shoes did not fit in length: soft material is stuffed into the sock (and if you have paper at hand, you can use it). The main thing is not to rub your fingers.

It is interesting. This size reduction option is only possible for closed shoes.

The secret of the models. The beauties on the catwalks not only gracefully present outfits, but also know the secrets of how to make shoes fit "like a glove", even if it is a couple of sizes large. To do this, they glue double-sided tape to the sole from the inside - the leg is glued and does not slip. One important caveat: a pair should only be worn on a bare leg.

It is interesting. The most progressive and effective of universal techniques is a variant with silicone pads.

Leather shoes

Genuine leather is a very malleable material that clearly proves the theory of compression under the influence of a sharp temperature drop.

Hot water and washing powder

Instructions:

Dissolve in a bowl of hot water (about 50 degrees) washing powder(as for normal washing).
We lower the shoes for 3-5 minutes.
Dry in direct sunlight or near a battery.

After drying, spray with a leather shoe breaker and put on immediately. It is important to observe the time of soaking in water and not to overdry the shoes, otherwise the result may not be at all what you expected.

It is interesting. An alternative may be the option when inner surface vapor is moistened from a spray bottle with water and dried near heating appliances. This option is perfect for reducing the size of leatherette shoes, for which prolonged contact with water can be detrimental.

Result: the skin becomes very soft and shrinks on the leg.

It is interesting. You can reduce the varnished shoes yourself only with insoles or overlays.

Ice water and hairdryer

Instructions:

We put the pair on our feet.
We put it in a bowl of ice water and let stand for 2-3 minutes.
We take off our shoes and dry them with a hairdryer or near a battery.

It is interesting. Reception is quick, but only for closed shoes, otherwise you can catch a cold.

Thread and needle

To reduce the length of a pair of leather or leatherette, you can use an elastic band sewn with inside heels.

Instructions:

Fasten the elastic on one side of the heel with pins.
Stretch and secure the other end to the other side.
Sew on, trying to grab the insole.

It is interesting. This method is only suitable for thin skin, as thick material will be difficult to pierce with a regular needle.

Suede shoes

As with leather, suede will shrink as a result of the change in temperature. This time, you need to hold your shoes over the steam and then put them in the freezer.

It is interesting. Fans of this material know firsthand how capricious suede is. So it will not be surprising for them that there is only one “home” option for reducing the size for her. And that only guarantees that your shoes or boots will lose their presentation.

It is best to leave the reduction in the size of suede (as well as patent) shoes at the mercy of professionals, that is, take them to the workshop.

Sneakers and sneakers

Leather sports shoes can be shrunk with an extra insole by tightening the laces. With fabric sneakers, the situation is a little more complicated: another insole may simply not leave room for a leg. There is an option to wash the steam in hot water - the fabric will shrink a little. But literally after an hour or two of wearing it will expand again. So there is only one thing left: lace up tight.

Boot tops

Despite the fact that the heroine of the famous film, Eldar Ryazanova, convinced that accordion tops are fashionable, and we know that fashion repeats from time to time, there are ladies who like the boot to fit tightly around the leg. The surest way to do this is to go to the workshop. Among the risky, but real, options, there are 2:

Sew several elastic bands on the inside in a circle, securing one edge and pulling the other.
Use your sewing machine and stitch the fold in the back.

It is interesting. Good sewing skills are essential in any of these cases.

Optical illusion, or how to make your shoes look smaller

Silicone inlays (on the heel or toe) are the perfect solution to several problems at once: your shoes will not fly off when walking, you will reduce the heel, the volume of the shoes, and in general you will achieve that your pair will definitely decrease by one size. But there are a few more tricks that create the effect of a graceful leg:

high heels (and not only stilettos, but also massive thick heels visually reduce the size);
rounded noses (taboo long and sharp);
dark or saturated colors (light and pastels increase the legs);
relatively thick straps in moderation when it comes to sandals;
buckles, bows, tongues and embellishments create the look of a small shoe.

Video: Reducing the inner volume of shoes

Reducing shoe size at home is possible, but only if you act deliberately and consistently. The easiest and most reliable way is to go to a shoe store for special silicone inlays. These can be heel or toe pads. You will get many more benefits from these devices, for example, the foot will not slip, the shoes will stop chafing. If you are not a supporter of additional insoles or inlays, then when choosing a way to narrow shoes, you need to start from the material from which the pair is made.

Buying new shoes is a pleasant change in life.

Looking for shoes - to a mess in the house and in business, putting on - to well-being.

Tight shoes - to the insincerity of others or to their mockery of a person dear to you.

If you dream of shoes with laces, but the laces are untied, you are in danger of quarrels and losses.

Dirty or torn shoes warn against criticism: you will make yourself many enemies.

If in a dream you are in black shoes, in reality you will have to participate in an important event, and if the shoes were stolen, but you remained in socks, stockings or tights, you will lose something, but at the same time you will gain something.

Women's shoes symbolize love relationships.

Reds are passion.

The new ones are a surprise.

Old, broken - lack of male attention.

Throwing off your shoes means breaking off a relationship.

To lose is to part with a loved one.

If a man dreams that he is giving shoes to his beloved woman, the dream promises family happiness.

If a girl admires the shoes on her feet in a dream, in reality she should not be too trusting and simple-minded with new acquaintances men: they can harm her.

Correctly selected shoes determine how long they will last. The most important indicator when choosing shoes, regardless of the season, is the size of the foot, in accordance with which the shoes are selected. Often, women and men tend to choose shoes literally "by eye" - not knowing the exact size of their own, customers rely on direct fitting of the models offered by the seller in the shoe store. In the meantime, the correct size of shoes will help to significantly reduce the search time for a comfortable model and choose shoes that will really last for several seasons.

Ideal shoes: size, fullness, instep

Shoe size is traditionally defined as the length of the foot from thumb up to the heel. As is the case with other size systems, in Europe, Russia and the United States, size numbering for both male and women's shoes is different.

Sizes of shoes in the Russian, European and American systems

Foot size is not the only factor in choosing a shoe. When choosing new shoes, you must also take into account the fullness of the leg and its rise. Leg fullness is the girth of the foot at the widest points of the forefoot. It is precisely because of the incorrectly taken into account the fullness of the shoes, even ideally suited in size, rubbing the side areas of the foot and pressing in the toe. Completeness indicators exist not only in the Russian dimensional system, but also in the international European one. If Russian standards provide for 12 different half-heights of shoes, the difference between which is 4 millimeters, then European standards - 17 heights. That is why it is sometimes much easier to choose Italian or French shoes that fit perfectly on your feet than shoes from Russian manufacturers. In addition, it is necessary to take into account such an anatomical feature of the foot as the instep - if the instep of the foot is too high, standard shoes will not sit well on the foot.

The right shoe size: basic rules for choosing

It is best to go shopping in the first half of the day - because in the evening, after a busy day, the legs often swell, and tense muscles do not adequately assess the comfort of the shoe model offered by the seller. The correct choice of shoe size depends not least on its type: for example, when trying on shoes or high-heeled boots, it is necessary that the foot does not move along the last. Otherwise, when shoes (and especially leather ones) are worn out, the foot will move forward, which not only makes wearing shoes not the most pleasant experience, but can also damage the heel.

It has long been known that shoes are best worn from genuine leather and suede. Therefore, when trying on suede shoes, you need to pay attention to how tightly the shoes fit the foot. If the selected model is at least a few millimeters larger, then in the process of wearing it will become even freer and will slide off the leg. But when choosing winter shoes with fur interior trim, it must be borne in mind that during the process of wearing, the fur will settle and the shoes will become a little looser. That is why it is recommended to measure winter shoes on a tight toe. Summer shoes can be tried on on a thin toe.

When choosing shoes, one more feature should be taken into account: if the model provides for a sharp long nose, then it is necessary that about 1-2 centimeters of free space remain in the toe. Otherwise, the sharp toe of the shoe will squeeze your toes, leading to the appearance of blisters and other unpleasant sensations.

The main indicator of a properly sized shoe is a feeling of comfort: in the front of the shoe there should be about a centimeter of free space in front of the thumb. In addition, we must not forget that the size of the feet may differ - most people have one leg (more often the right) is larger than the other, so you should first try on a shoe model on a large foot.

The chosen shoes should not restrain the foot and put pressure on the toes, but should not be overly loose either. Too wide and loose shoe model is just as harmful as too narrow, because it not only leads to the appearance of calluses, but also causes poor circulation, ingrown nails, curvature of the toes.

How to choose the size of winter shoes

You will need

- paper,
- a measuring tape or ruler,
- shoe size table

Instructions

Determine your foot size. To do this, you need to put on a thin sock and stand on a sheet of paper. Then you should circle your foot with a pencil so that the outline of the trace of your foot remains on the paper. It is better if it is not you yourself who does it, but someone else. Indeed, with such an independent action, there is a possibility that a small error will occur in outlining in one direction or another, since in order to make a contour you will need to bend over or squat down and the foot will not have its usual position.

Take a measuring tape or a regular school ruler and measure the length of the resulting drawn track from the highest point (in some it is at the edge of the big toe, in others - the second toe) to the lowest point at the edge of the heel. This will be the length of your leg in centimeters.

Compare the result in centimeters with the shoe size chart. The fact is that the sizes adopted in Russia differ from the shoe size numbers of the countries of Europe and the USA. Please also note that the sizes of men's and women's shoes are given in different tables. Therefore, if your choice fell on an imported product, then consider this point.

Pay attention when choosing the size of winter shoes and the fact that some manufacturers produce products, taking into account the presence of fur in them, which reduces the inner volume of the boot. So, for example, shoes of size 37 (24.5 cm) may in fact turn out to be slightly longer, because the layer of lining fur was taken into account, which would make the boot (if it was cut according to the shoe of strictly size 37) much smaller inside. Therefore, when buying shoes for winter, you should definitely try on.

When choosing the size of shoes for the winter, keep in mind that the boots should be slightly bigger size than those that you bought for the fall or summer, because in the cold you will also have to wear warm socks. Do not disregard the width of the boot tops - sometimes it becomes the decisive factor when buying winter shoes. It is for the buyer (more often - for the customer) to decide whether he agrees to walk in boots that are a little too big (about half the size), but at the same time sit comfortably on the calf of the leg, or feel some inconvenience from a narrow boot, but at the same time have boots of the right size.

When choosing the size of winter shoes, it is also advisable to take into account some features of the shape of the foot (for example, the width and high rise), because they can also affect not only the choice of the model, but also the size of the boots.

For cold Russian winters, a warm and comfortable shoes... Not only depends on the right choice appearance lovely fashionistas, but also their health. There are a few basic rules to follow when shopping for women's winter shoes.

Instructions

Pay attention to the quality of the material from which the boots are made. Genuine leather is preferred over artificial leather. It is warmer, more practical and allows the feet to "breathe". Natural fur in the interior finishing of shoes perfectly warms feet in cold weather. Leatherette boots can have a beautiful appearance, but they are less frost-resistant and not as comfortable and practical as products from natural materials... Their only significant plus is their low price. Shoes made of suede and nubuck look very nice, but they cannot be worn in wet weather, since these materials have low water resistance.

Examine the sole, it should be high enough and the pattern should resist slipping. Waterproof and abrasion-resistant outsole is usually made of PVC, polyurethane or rubber. It is good if the bottom of the shoe is stitched with threads. Check that all buckles, straps and other decorative items are securely fastened.

Be sure to try on your favorite boots. Do not buy tight shoes, your feet will feel cold. Take a thick cotton sock with you to the store, then you won't have to be surprised in winter that your boots are too tight for you. When trying on winter shoes, it is important not only to choose them by size, but also by their fullness.

As for the models, a very wide assortment is now presented in stores. Treads, high fur boots, classic options- the choice is only yours. Lovers of stiletto heels are better off “fixing their eyes” on more practical shoes with stable heels. Treads are usually worn with a miniskirt or very skinny jeans... If you spend most of your time in the car, you can safely buy suede boots, and for long walks around the city you will need high-quality leather shoes on a comfortable solid sole or on a small wide heel. Approach the purchase responsibly winter boots- and then your feet will be warm and comfortable.

How to choose the right shoe size?

When a person buys shoes in a store or in the market, it is enough for him to tell the seller what size of shoes he is looking for. Usually, a person himself knows the size of his feet, since shoes are worn daily, or this can be found out by a special dimensional grid. To do this, it is enough to measure the length of the foot in centimeters.

Such manipulations are usually performed when shoes are bought through an online store and they simply cannot be physically measured.

To determine the correct size, it is enough to use a regular ruler, but you need to take measurements in the evenings. The same should be done when measuring children's legs. This is due to the fact that the leg receives enormous loads during the day, swells and becomes uncomfortable.

Before measuring, you need to take into account the seasonality of the shoe. When buying sandals or other summer shoes, you need to measure the length of the foot on bare feet. For winter shoes, you need to additionally put a sock on your foot so that in the future the shoes do not squeeze it.

Since the foot is not the most even surface on the human body, to measure it, you need to put it on paper or cardboard, circle it with a pen, be sure to stand. The ruler measures the length from the heel to the big toe or whichever is the longest on the leg. Results are usually rounded to the nearest 5 mm.

Features of human legs

All parts of the human body are not symmetrical, so palms and feet are on different hands and the legs are different. Interestingly, for right-handers, the left foot is longer and the right one is shorter. Of course, in every case there is a place for exceptions, therefore, this should also be taken into account in the size of the legs.

It is important to pay attention to what the shoes are made of. For example, leather shoes or boots may stretch while wearing them. Therefore, you need to pick them up on a smaller foot. If the shoes are winter, it is better to measure the big foot so that it is comfortable.

There are two shoe size systems:

bar mass;
metric.

So, in France, only the first is used. And, in general, the leading shoe manufacturers in Europe recommend calculating the size of the shoe by the insole, which should be 1 cm longer than a human foot.

In England and America, the table is tied to an inch equal to 2.54 cm.Each size is 8.5 mm larger than the previous one. It is also very important to take into account the fullness of the leg, which is indicated by letters, while A is the minimum fullness. If shoes are made of elastic materials, the size of fullness is not indicated.

In Ukraine and Russia, the metric system is more often used, where the length of the foot in centimeters is equal to the size of the shoe. The CIS countries prefer to work with the bar mass system more, but the allowance formed during sewing is not taken into account.

It turns out that the difference between Ukrainian and European size will amount to a unit - that is, up to 1 cm. Perhaps, many have heard of such a concept as undersized shoes, when you have to buy 39 shoe sizes for 38 foot sizes. This means that when buying, it is very important to pay attention to the country of origin in order to know which size to order.

Comparison of metric and bar mass systems

By themselves, these systems are divided into women's, men's, children's and teenagers' shoes. So, the size of women's shoes starts from 34 bar-mass sizes, which corresponds to a foot length of 22.5 cm.

Each subsequent size adds 0.5 cm to the leg length. The women's mesh ends in 42.5 units, which is equal to 28.5 cm of the foot length, respectively. Men's footwear starts at size 38.5 (25.5 cm) and ends at size 47.5 (31.5 cm).

Children's shoes are measured from 11.5 cm (size 19) to 18.5 cm (size 29). Teenage starts at size 30 with a foot length of 19 cm and ends at size 40 with a length of 25.5 cm.

Often feet of the same length have different fullness, which is measured by the girth of the metatarsal heads. If the shoes are casual, then the difference between these parameters is 8 mm, if the model is about 6 mm.

In post-Soviet countries, the completeness has 13 sizes, and in European countries - 17. The designation may contain letters or letters with numbers. Although some enterprises produce only narrow, medium or wide shoes. If the fullness of the shoe is normal, this parameter is not indicated on the tag.

When choosing shoes, each person knows his size or relies on the help of a sales assistant. To be sure of your size, you can use a ruler and size chart at home.

Using the correspondence of the foot length according to the metric system, it is possible to easily find out the size according to the bar mass system. An equally important parameter is the fullness of the legs, since with the same size, legs can have different volumes.

Buying shoes is one of the toughest shopping challenges. An incorrectly matched pair of shoes can ruin not only the day, but also health. Today we are figuring out how to choose the right fashionable shoes in regular and online stores, as well as always feel good and look great even on 12-centimeter stilettos.

How to choose shoes in a store

Choose your shoes in the evening when the feet are already a little swollen and have reached their maximum size. This way you can choose shoes that match the fullness of the foot as much as possible and save yourself from feeling shackles on your feet by the end of the day.
Don't buy tight shoes if your feet are wide... This is especially true for patent leather shoes - they practically do not wear out. In general, any tight footwear leads to poor blood circulation, varicose veins and the appearance of "bones". And also the obligatory calluses - do you need such sacrifices?
Pay attention to the insole... It should be soft, made of genuine leather or suede. Synthetic insoles, or no insoles at all, can lead to unpleasant odor and the appearance of blisters.
Check depreciation, slightly bending the shoe at the place where the widest part of the foot is located. Ideally, the shoe should bend slightly, and the insole itself should be rubberized - this will soften the impact of a hard surface on the feet and relieve pain during the day.
Do not rush... Before buying shoes, you need to spend at least 10 minutes! Go shopping, feel everything: is it comfortable to stand in such shoes? Doesn't he press anything, rub nothing? Is there any pain when walking? Can you move your fingers freely? Does the foot slip forward when walking? If you answered yes to at least one question, look for another pair.
Don't forget to ask for a guarantee... The warranty period for shoes is determined depending on the material and type of shoes, usually from 45 to 90 days, and is valid throughout the season. So, the season for summer shoes starts on May 15 and ends on September 15, for autumn - from October 15 to December 15, and so on. If you bought shoes out of season, the warranty will start from the moment the desired season starts.

How to choose shoes on the Internet

Determine your foot size correctly... In the evening, when your legs are a little swollen, stand on a white sheet of paper and trace your foot with a pencil. Measure the length of your foot from big toe to heel at the longest point. You should be guided by this figure when determining your size according to the dimensional grids of online stores.
Pay attention to the size chart. Dimensional grids differ depending on the country of manufacture of the shoe. For example, European size 39 corresponds to US size 8 and UK size 6. V good stores size tables are shown in several versions: European, American, British, sometimes Asian. Buyers are often confused with British and us size- to prevent this from happening, pay attention to which country you buy shoes.
Take the time to find all the information you need about the desired pair: its completeness, find out if it is small, if the size corresponds to the universal grid. World-famous stores often indicate such nuances, otherwise all information on popular brands can be found on the forums. And in Shaf it is even easier - write to the seller and he himself will measure everything you need and tell you about the nuances.
Pay attention to the material... Shoes made of genuine leather wear out a little over time and take the shape of the foot. Artificial leather and other materials cannot boast of such advantages.

How to choose shoes with heels

Find the perfect heel height... Yes, everyone dreams of 12-centimeter stilettos and a flying gait at the same time, only such a luxury is available to a few. Ordinary girls need to learn to walk in heels. For years. Therefore, if you choose one of the first pairs, stop at 6-7 centimeters and, if you feel comfortable, gradually increase the height. But remember that the higher the heel, the higher the likelihood of curvature of the foot and spine, as well as flat feet.
Choose a size slightly larger than usual... The fact is that in high-heeled shoes, the foot moves forward and the toe becomes longer. So that he does not rest against the sock and hurt, carefully select the size: for heels 5-9 cm - half a size larger than usual; for heels 10-15 cm - one size larger than usual; for heels above 16 cm - 1.5 sizes larger.
Stand in your shoes for 10 minutes... Don't sit, don't walk, just wait - do you still feel comfortable? You can take it!
Take a test promenade... If you have already bought a coveted pair, before going in it somewhere for a long time, take a few short walks near the house - this way you will let your foot get used to it, decide on a suitable gait and avoid the ridicule of others.
Remember health... High-heeled shoes, no matter how comfortable they seem, are not the healthiest choice for the musculoskeletal system. Try not to wear high heels all day and take off your shoes as soon as possible.

Suitable for all occasions. Girls are more scrupulous about buying shoes, and the choice female models much more than male ones. Finding the perfect pair of shoes can be tricky. In addition, over time, it wears out, stretches, deforms. What if the shoes are too big and how to avoid it?

How to buy correctly

Below we will figure out what to do if the shoes have become large, but now let's look at the rules for buying shoes and other shoes. Sooner or later, women are interested in the question of how to choose the perfect pair? After all, it often happens that you came to the store, tried on a whole bunch of models, and you didn’t like anything and didn’t fit.

Here are a few important tips What you need to study before buying shoes:

Don't make hasty purchases. Fitting should be careful. Put on a pair, walk around the store a bit, get a feel for whether it's comfortable or not. Think several times before buying to avoid further wear problems.
Try not to buy shoes over the Internet, because there is no way to try them on.
Buy shoes made from quality materials. The best choice, of course, natural leather, as it tends to adapt to the shape of the leg. Leatherette is now also made quite high quality. Shoes made from different fabrics will be less practical.
Shoes don't wear out. If they squeeze during fitting, you do not need to buy them. This will not only help you save money, but also your foot health.
If the seams are rubbed, such a pair is considered to be of poor quality. They should be invisible in good shoes.
When buying shoes, ask about the guarantee, so in case of an unsuitable size, they can be returned back.
Shoes should only be bought during the daytime. By the evening, the leg tends to swell, and in the morning the shoes will fly off. It is better to measure at once in nylon soles, and not on a bare leg. So you can understand if the shoes will fly off when the girl puts on tights.

Why shoes fly off your feet

If the shoes are too big, what should I do? Very often people are faced with such a problem, because in the fast pace of life they buy shoes "on the run", and they do a thorough fitting at home. Or, perhaps it is a gift from a fan who was wrong about the size of his feet. And it also happens that the girl put on tights that are too smooth, and therefore the shoes slip off.

Shop shoes are sewn according to standard patterns, the reason that they fall off can be a narrow foot. In this case, the best solution would be to sew shoes to order from the masters. Due to the deformation of the material in the event of wetting and subsequent drying, the size of heating devices may decrease or increase.

If the shoes are too big, what should I do? Give your shoes a little rest. If the shoes are used daily, they stretch. Set them aside for a week or two, filling them with old newspapers or magazines. High-quality, genuine leather will return to its original appearance, and the shoes will not subside.

For closed-toed shoes, you can put a small piece of cotton wool inside. She does not press and will gradually take the shape of a leg.

If leather shoes become large

Lightly dampen the material inside, dry in the fresh air. However, this method can leave water stains that cannot be removed later.
You can buy special silicone inserts in the store. They are invisible when worn, as they are attached to the heel.

They are worn not only for size reduction, but also for convenience. Instead of silicone, you can still use nylon.
What if the shoes are just a little too big? Get insoles. They will make the size a little smaller, and the shoes will be more comfortable to wear.

In addition, if you purchase orthopedic insoles, it will be an excellent prophylaxis for the health of your feet. And for shoes with an open toe, there are transparent ones. Such insoles will not be visible.

If suede shoes become big

Large in size - what to do in such a situation? Remains efficient use nylon inserts for shoes. You can make them yourself.

Thin foam rubber is wrapped in a piece of nylon and sewn on the sides.

The second method is to wash the shoes in warm water and then dry them in the fresh air. They will become noticeably smaller and will fit the leg more tightly. Suede shoes must be worn very carefully and carefully looked after. To keep these shoes from slipping, use helium insoles. They are equipped with pimples that make them comfortable to wear. They are inexpensive and sold in all shoe stores.

Shoe pads

It so happens that the shoes have become great. What can you do without damaging your shoes and feet in such a situation? There are special overlays in the form of a backdrop. They do not interfere with walking.

They are silicone (transparent) or suede, which are presented in black and beige colors. The first ones are suitable for any shoe. The latter need to be bought only for suede. For shoes on flat sole there are overlays in the sock, they do not press and are easy to use.
