Hunting for past postings on how to stretch shoes

Chris987

I know there have been postings in the past on how to stretch shoes but I can't seem to find them. If anyone knows where those topics are could they please post links here?

Thanks!

I have a device that's somewhat like this --https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N.....ive=395033

I use ice to stretch mine. Fill a small ziploc bag with water, put it in the shoe and then put the shoe in the freezer. The water expands as it freezes.

I did the same thing Sara did. It didn't make a huge difference but just that little bit of expansion helped a lot.

I like to get the blow dryer out and heat up the shoes. Then I put on a couple of pairs of thick socks and jam my feet in. I walk around until the shoes cool off, at which point I heat them up some more and walk around more until I feel like they have stretched enough.

Mirjana, yes that's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
jill58 interesting device..will definitely consider it.
Sara L and Robin F great idea, that's one of the ones on Angie's list and i may try that one.
Gigi another good idea although the ones I want to stretch are probably too snug to get my foot into in thick socks but it's worth considering.

You can also try wearing with a damp sock - that seems to help stretch things out. Also - dabbing a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the inside at the spot that is annoying or on the sock - then wearing can help. (Test colorfastness before getting carried away with the rubbing alcohol)
