secret to life #1

Shoes:

Specifically, new - shoes, and the breaking in thereof.

We've all felt the pain; on the heels and toes. The bad news is that you'll never NOT feel that pain from new shoes but there is a way to make it bearable.

Double socks, or for ladies, just socks, though for street cred's sake, it's not advisable to be seen in public in heels and socks! Though we're talking about fashion here so...well, just look at some of it! (How does this self proclaimed 'man' know so much about women's fashion? - *reader*). (Just another insight into what is Mutters inc - Ed.)

It has a two fold effect. The first, most obvious, (and arguably ultimate) is the cushioning benefit on the feet but second to that is the effect of stretching the shoe, therefore ensuring a more comfortable and spacious second fit.

Next time you have on a new pair of shoes and don't take this sage advice, please get in touch so I can laugh.

Mutters, I presently own (16) pair of boots, (13) pair of flip-flops and (42) pair of shoes. I know, I know, a bit head over HEELS!

If I were to sock my feet before nestling them into a new pair of shoes; which by the way is a fashion SIN here in NY, so I'd agree with you there. Would this not stretch the shoe out in turn rendering them TOO big for the bare skinned feet?
