Follow these Methods to stretch out your shoes

There are millions of pairs of shoes out there. But you only have two feet, and they are unique to you. Take the time to be sure the shoes you buy are right for your feet.Here are ways to change the shoes you already have if they are too tight, plus tips on how to avoid narrow shoes and the problems they can give your feet.

1. Wear them in the evening

If your shoes are just a little uncomfortable, try wearing them around the house. Sometimes, a few nights of doing this can soften them up to the point they feel good.

Let your feet rest before trying this method, especially if it is hot outside or you have walked a lot that day.

2. Thick socks and a blow dryer

If the first method does not work, this one will add a little extra stretch and help the shoes conform to your feet.Put on a pair of thick socks and fasten the shoes comfortably.

Now try applying a hair dryer for 20 to 30 seconds at a time to the tight areas.Use only medium heat, and keep the blow dryer in motion so you do not excessively dry out or burn the leather.It is a good idea to apply a leather conditioner or moisturizer to the shoes after you have used this method.

3. Frozen zip-close bag

This method works best on nonleather shoes.Fill a zip-close bag part of the way with water.Place the partially filled bag inside your shoe. Try to arrange it so it is near the tight spots.

Now place the shoe and bag in the freezer overnight.The water will turn into ice and expand, giving you a custom stretch for your shoes.

4. The peeled potato trick

Peel a potato and mold it into the shape of your shoe’s toe box (front of the shoe). Wipe the potato dry with a paper towel, and stuff it inside your shoe overnight. This method can provide a modest amount of stretch.

5. Shoe stretch sprays and liquids



A variety of liquids and sprays to stretch leather, fabric, and even vinyl are available. Spray them on the tight areas and then walk in your shoes.

These products also can be used together with adjustable shoe stretchers to help give your shoes a custom stretch.

7. Find a shoe repair professional

Most professional shoe repair shops or cobblers provide stretching services. They have machines and training to alter shoes. Not only can a cobbler stretch your shoes, they can repair and refresh the ones you have to make them last longer overall.But these shops are becoming harder to find in most areas from lack of interest.
