I generally make an effort not to wear the same shoes every day of the week. Just to prevent my feet from being sore and to allow the shoes to breathe a little.

If you have access to a blow dryer, you may quickly fix your shoes by sticking it in and then repeating the previous few steps. To let them air out, you may also place them outside on a cold, dry night.
Airflow and keeping your foot or shoe as dry as possible are crucial. Socks that fit properly might also be beneficial.
