How to Break in Your New Shoes
How many times were you so excited to go out flaunting your new pair of shoes and came back with blisters on your feet? Or felt like the day was ruined because your feet were in pain all the time you were out? We've all been there at least once, but there is a way to avoid it from happening again. Learn how to break in your new shoes before going out wearing them. Just try this super fast and effective method and you'll be able to walk in them more confidently and comfortably.
1. Wear cotton or fluffy wool socks, then wear your news shoes.
2. Using your hair dryer, direct medium hot air in a circular motion towards the parts where the shoes are most uncomfortable. There should be a bit of distance between the hair dryer and the shoes so you don't end up damaging them.

3. Keep the heat for a few minutes, then walk around the house for a while. If it still feels tight around your feet, direct the hairdryer again for a few more minutes.
4. Repeat the above steps a couple of times until the shoes are no longer uncomfortable. You can also try wearing a thicker pair of socks if needed before walking around your home.
5. Now, take the socks off and try the shoes without them. You'll find that they fit really well and no longer seem to be rubbing too hard against your skin. You are now ready to go!

About the Author
Dalia Hosny As soon as Dalia steps into the office, you can't help but have a big smile on your face and know that you will be up for a not-so-typical day with her presence! The youngest member of the Fustany Team is really a moving bundle of joy with an eclectic sense of fashion and style. Marc Jacobs is her favorite designer yet at the same time she adores the artistic vibe of Alexander McQueen and the quirkiness of Lanvin. Throwing jokes here and there, Dalia keeps her energy levels up by making sure she eats an apple everyday, as she thinks of it as her Red Bull can. Her over-sized handbag includes the most random things, think pantoufle (true story!) and her camera that she loves and can rarely be spotted without. Dalia might surprise you with her alter ego when you least expect it, be ready for it or for her other 10 personalities, we think she has an awesome acting career ahead of her. A typical Dalia moment at the office is casually finding her talking to herself while video-editing! Dalia would never leave home without her iPhone, blusher, mascara and Gucci perfume. You can reach her on dalia@fustany.com or on Twitter @DaliaHosny.
