Good quality shoes are a basic element in any stylish wardrobe, and Lomas Boutique has some tips and tricks that will surely help you take care of the appearance of your favorite footwear, as well as keep it away from bad smells.

​

1.-  Prevent Blisters With Deodorant

Deodorant can really work wonders, plus it's great for preventing blisters after a long night on the dance floor. Take some clear gel deodorant and rub it on the inside heel of your shoe.

2.- How to Get Rid of Noisy Shoes

Shoes that make noise and can be heard from miles away are not exactly pleasant. Fortunately, there is an easy fix for this. Take some baby powder and put it under the inner sole of the shoe. It will allow a better cohesion between both sides, as a result they will not be so noisy.

3.- Easily Widen Your Boots

Boots that have a firm grip on the leg are never comfortable, so it may be worth taking some time to loosen them up. All you need is a couple of newspapers. Just stuff the boots with the newspaper and take them out when you want to wear them. As simple as that!

4.- Plugs Are Real Life Savers

For someone who loves their shoes, the very thought of a heel breaking is absolutely terrifying. It is worth investing in a pair of studs that will allow you to quickly fix shoes with broken heels.

5.- Widen Shoes In The Freezer

There is a good method to loosen the toes of your shoes, which is often the only place where the shoe is too tight. Fill an airtight bag with a bit of water and place it on the finger area. Leave your shoes in the freezer overnight. Because water expands when it turns to ice, the toe part of the shoe will be slightly wider than before.

6.-  Have More Control Of Your Shoes With Heel Pads

If you're planning a long night in heels, you can already imagine the pain and discomfort you'll feel at the end. Ease that pain a bit and increase your mobility by inserting a heel pad.

7.-  Make Your New Shoes More Comfortable Using A Dryer

Having new shoes is often a double-edged sword. After all, you're happy with your new shoes, but they're not all fun. The best thing to do when starting new shoes is to put on thick socks and blow-dry any tight or uncomfortable spots. The heat will loosen the material and make your feet get used to the new shoe much faster.

8.- Use Underwear Liners To Absorb Moisture

It may seem like a strange idea, but panty liners are great at wicking away sweat. Less sweat in your shoes equals fewer unpleasant odours, and will naturally keep them fresher for a long time. Place them on the soles of the feet and you're done.

9.- Keep Your Boots Moisture Free

After a rainy day, the chances of getting some moisture left in your boots are pretty high. Grab a couple of old newspaper pages (or paper towels) to keep your boots clean and dry.

10.- Cover Your Toes When Wearing Heels

This may seem a bit strange and unnecessary, but there is scientific reasoning behind it. Heels aren't exactly comfortable. A lot of stress is placed on the nerve directly between the second and third toes. The best and easiest way to help relieve some of the tension is to bring those two fingers together. Not too tight, otherwise you will cut off blood circulation.
