Supplies you will need
Although it may seem like a daunting task, breaking in your shoes can be simple and easy! In order to make your shoe heels softer, you will need the following items:
-An old pair of shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty
-Warm water
-A bucket or container
-A soft cloth
-Shoe polish (optional)
The process
Wearing high heels can be tough on your feet, but it’s even tougher when your heels are too hard. This can cause pain in your ankles and Achilles tendon, and make it difficult to walk. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to make your shoe heels softer in just a few minutes.
One way to make your shoe heels softer is to use a pumice stone. A pumice stone is a small, hand-held device that has a rough surface. It’s usually made from volcanic rock or glass. To use it, wet the stone and rub it over the heel of your shoe in a circular motion. You should feel the heel become softer within a minute or two.
If you don’t have a pumice stone, you can also use sandpaper. Just like with the pumice stone, wet the sandpaper and rub it over the heel of your shoe in a circular motion. The sandpaper will work to wear down the hard surface of the heel, making it softer.
Another option is to use Vaseline or other petroleum-based products. First, take off your shoes and socks and massage some Vaseline into the skin on your feet, paying particular attention to any dry or cracked areas. Then put on a pair of clean socks and put your shoes back on. The Vaseline will help to soften the skin on your feet, which will in turn make your shoe heels feel softer.
If you don’t have any of these materials at home, you can also try using baby powder or cornstarch. Just sprinkle some onto the heel of your shoe and rub it in with your fingers. These powders will work to absorb any moisture that’s making your heels feel hard and uncomfortable.
Results
Here are the results of our test to see if this method actually works to make your shoes softer. We are testing on a pair of heels that have been worn for about a week, so they definitely need some work!
First, we rubbed the heels with the Vaseline and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then, we took a dryer sheet and rubbed it over the Vaseline. We put the shoes on and walked around for about 10 minutes to test them out.
The result? A huge difference! The shoes felt softer and more comfortable immediately. We will definitely be using this method from now on to make our heels softer!
Tips
If you’re looking for a simple, quick way to make your shoe heels softer, try these tips!
-Wear socks: Wearing socks with your shoes will help cushion your feet and prevent blisters.
-Use a heel grip: Heel grips are small pieces of silicone or foam that you insert into the back of your shoe. They provide extra cushioning and support for your heels.
-Try moleskin: Moleskin is a soft, padded fabric that you can buy in sheets or rolls. You can cut it to fit the back of your shoe, and it will help protect your heels from rubbing.
– Use a heel liner: Heel liners are small pads that you stick to the bottom of your shoe. They provide extra cushioning and help prevent slipping.
Tricks
If your shoes are new, you can try breaking them in by wearing them around the house for a few hours at a time. You can also try this with shoes that are too tight. Unfortunately, sometimes shoes just never seem to soften up no matter what you do. If you’re in this predicament, here are a few tricks that might help.
FAQ’s
Q: How often should I do this?

Q: Will this work on all shoes?
A: This will work best on shoes made of natural materials like leather or canvas. It might also work on synthetic materials, but it will depend on the material and the level of wear and tear. You might want to test it on an inconspicuous area first to see how it looks.
Q: Can I use this on my favorite pair of shoes?
A: Yes! This is a great way to prolong the life of your favorite pair of shoes.
