Five Ways to Break In Party Shoes
1. Wear them around the house for at least 2 days, with a pair of thick white cotton athletic socks, using either sandpaper or a sidewalk to slightly scuff the bottom.2. If they're leather, waterproof the outside of the shoes, then soak the entire pair underwater for about 2 minutes. Wearing a pair of thick white socks, walk around your house until dry. The shoe will mold to your foot.
Caution: Don't try this with an expensive pair, or light-colored shoes.3. Purchase a pair of Dr. Scholl's Heel liners, available at you local drugstore, and place them on the inside heel of the shoe. The liners help not only to break in the shoe, but also to keep your heels from slipping and rubbing.4. If the shoe is particularly tight or stiff, grab it by the heel and gently knead it back and forth to loosen the sole, being very careful not to break the sole.5.
If all else fails, purchase a shoe stretcher, a device similar to a shoe tree that helps stretch tight shoes. This device can be purchased from your local shoe repair shop or shoe store..

But shopping for shoes should not be a stressful experience.

The first thing you need to decide on is your budget, as this will limit which brands and perhaps styles, you can buy.

So, if you see sales like these, take advantage of them!
Once you've decided on your budget, you
should think about what type of shoe you want to buy.
Do you plan on being on your feet a lot?
Do you want you shoes to be a fashion statement, or are you more of a ?sensible shoe' type...

Matt Potts Stands Tall in His Latest Fashion Athletic Shoes
FREMONT, CA (ContentDesk) December 31 2003-- At
5'9" Matt Potts hardly seems a tall man, but if you look closely you will find he is not standing alone.
Beneath his medium height he gets a lift from a stack of cash ? stowed away safely in his shoe sole. Mr. Potts is betting that stack of cash will grow in the years ahead.Mr. Potts has incorporated a wallet feature ?make that two wallets ? into the soles of his company's ArchPorts ? fashion athletic shoes (skateboard style) named for the wallet's arch location and port-like use.
The concept is new and "radically innovative," according to 41-year-old Potts, who came up with the idea back in 1989 while playing tennis. Playing on the courts across the street from his home, Potts had nowhere to put his house key, so he threw it on the court. After his game, he thought "how could someone integrate this into the foot? I considered that the mighty powers of the universe (god) must have intended some use for the arch...

Quality Birkenstock Shoes And Sandals
Wearing birkenstock shoes is like wearing no other pair of shoes. Johann Adam Birkenstock was a shoemaker in Germany in the late 1700's. The birkenstock shoe was designed with an understanding that a person's shoes should reflect the shape of their feet. If the shoe is contoured and shaped like a human foot, comfort is sure to follow. For many, many years birkenstock shoes have done just that.
Comfort, style and durability have all been a part of every pair of birkenstocks.In prehistoric times skins or hides were probably tied around the foot for protection and warmth. The sandal, probably the earliest form of shoe, was worn in Egypt, Greece, and Rome; an early form of the boot was also known in Greece and Rome. The characteristic shoe of the Middle Ages was the soft, clinging moccasin, which extended to the ankle. It was highly decorated and was of velvet, cloth of gold, and, increasingly, of leather. Today the choices of shoes are great?wonderful styles and comfort.Whether its...
