Don't wear them, they wont rub then and you won't need the plasters

When my Dad had this problem he used to bash the insides of the shoes with a hammer to soften them up a bit.

Thanks willow i think thats a last resort
but it might just come to that.

Cobblers Mick, take them to the cobblers and ask him to stretch them a little. Bruising with an hammer works for me and its cheap but you risk splitting the backs if like me you find the experience pleasurable and get carried away……

For the current state of your heels I’d recommend Compeed Blister Plasters, they work a treat and should protect your heels whilst allowing you to wear your new shoes.

Go to the chemist and get some Scholl insoles

a bit of vasaline might work..

Rub candle wax inside of the shoe were it's rubbing.

Let your feet heal before wearing them in again though. Liquid platic by Germoline is a good alternative to pllasters, as you paint it on your chaffed skin.

Or buy some new, new shoes, ha ha only joking. No matter what you do they will continue to feel like they are rubbing until your heels have healed, no pun intended!!

I always make a point of wearing new shoes round the house to break them in so I can take them off when they start to rub a bit
