Tuesday Tip: Break In your Shoes
Ladies, the shoes you choose to wear on your wedding day are an important part of the dress. Besides being a great way to accessorize and express your personal style, they effect everything from the shape of your calf to the hemline of your dress. All of which you probably know already.
The right shoe completes any outfit.
If you’re like most brides, the shoes you’ll wear on your wedding day are purchased just for that occasion. And as we all know, even the most comfortable shoes need a little breaking in before they are ready for extended wearing. We’ve all purchased new shoes, and we’ve all had the sore feet and blisters that can result from wearing them the first time for too long.
You might feel strange just hanging out in these, but your feet will thank you in the long run.
So today’s tip is this: break them in before the big day. All it takes is wearing them for an hour or two, once a week, at home. Do this maybe 4–5 times, and your feet will thank you when it comes time to walk down the aisle. The trick is to break them in without wearing them out. Every shoe is different of course so use your judgment as to the exact schedule. And try to stay on indoor surfaces to avoid scuffs and such. All you want to do is get that first time pain over with.
The ideal shoe for Vacuuming?
With everything else happening on your wedding day, looking for band aids or blister tape shouldn’t be one of them.
