Travel
When traveling, make sure you remove the cartridges from their shoes overnight (if possible) and let them air-dry.  Next day your shoes will feel like new.

Lacing shoes
Fasten your shoes tight in the morning, and release them as the day progresses, in order to accommodate the swollen feet as the day goes on.
