Choosing the perfect pair of shoes for your wedding can be a difficult process, but overcoming the discomfort of new shoes can be even more irksome.

Be sure to try these handy tips:

1. Walking around

Wear the shoes around the house for a week or two before the wedding. If you are concerned about scuff marks on the soles of the shoes, try putting some sticky tape on them.

2. Put on your socks

Put on a pair of your most comfy socks and wear them with your shoes. It might look ridiculous, but this will spare you from getting blisters and stretch your shoes so they will be more comfortable.

3. Heat it up
