Use scissors or clippers specifically designed for toenails. ![]() Leave them long enough that the corners lie against the skin loosely. If a toenail is at risk of becoming ingrown, people can try the following tips to prevent it: After three and a half hours I just had to take them off and give up.Share on Pinterest When cutting an ingrown toenail, it is advisable to cut straight across. My feet hurt more than they normally would because they slid forward to the front of the shoe. I hoped that the lotion would just absorb into my skin and walking would get a lot easier, but the water stopped that from really happening. My feet felt slimy and slippery and I honestly just prayed that this wouldn’t be the hack that causes me to break an ankle. Straight off the bat I could tell that this wasn’t going to do much. The result: First off, I didn't want anyone walking into the office bathroom to find me sticking my feet in the sinks, so I had to use a bowl of cold water. Supposedly the lotion makes your feet soft, which the water seals in, and then the two combined stop your feet from aching. You're meant to run cold water over your feet, then put lotion on them, and then put your shoes on while they're still damp. The hack: I do not know who originally came up with this idea, but it sounds very fake. Sure, I still had pain, but it was considerably less than wearing shoes without the tape on. I even went and did grocery shopping with them on, even though I looked like a big ol’ weirdo. I was able to last all the way until the end of the day without feeling any pain. But, to my surprise, it really, really worked. The result: Not going to lie, I felt very silly sitting at my desk taping my toes together.

This honestly feels like such a nonsense idea, but I’d seen it praised in a LOT of places online, like here, here, and here. The hack: Apparently, if you sticky tape your third and fourth toe together, it stops the pain. (Feet are really gross and I'm sorry to make you look at them but I tried to add emojis to make your experience a little nicer.) Some people swear that this cream works wonders, but honestly, it did nothing for me. While it stopped me from getting that sharp pain that shoots through the balls of your feet after standing too long in heels, instead I just had a dull ache, which stayed even when I was sitting down. I thought that the cream would dry, but it didn't, so when I put my shoes on they were slippery and hard to walk in. But after a minute, my feet just felt sticky and kind of gross. The result: When I first put the cream on, it felt soothing and cool, like a fancy foot mask. There are a few different varieties, but I tried this one from Amazon, mainly because it was the only one in stock at the time that shipped to Australia. ![]() But some people claim that it’s the best way to avoid pain from high heels. It’s basically the same thing that you rub into sports injuries, like Deep Heat. There are a few different “foot-numbing” creams and sprays available online to help women with stiletto pain.
