Is there a right way to break in shoes? For these answers, we tapped podiatrist Emily Splichal, DPM, MS for her advice. According to Dr. Splichal, breaking in shoes isn't something that will happen quickly. It takes time and is, unfortunately, a gradual process.

"I advise my patients to break in shoes — especially heels — by walking around their home and in a venue that won't require prolonged standing or walking," Dr. Splichal tells InStyle via email, and suggests carrying around an additional, more comfortable pair to change into. "Always have a backup pair of shoes if you are going out all day and are concerned they may rub or irritate the foot."
