Whatever type of shoe is giving you a problem, there are many DIY methods to solve this issue. There is nothing as annoying as suffering pain after a day spent in tight shoes, which is why you absolutely need to find a way to remedy this inconvenience.

If you don't want to buy sprays on the market made specifically to widen shoes, there are many DIY methods you can resort to. One of these is to turn on the hairdryer (hot setting) and pass it over the entire surface of the shoe. This will help to soften the material it is made of and, when worn, it will stretch out to the shape of your foot much better. You can also opt to wear two or three pairs of socks. This added thickness they force the shoes to expand and become more comfortable for your feet.

But there's more you can do:

Often, just wearing the shoes around the home is one way of "breaking them in" and solving this problem over time. But if this does not work, try the bag method.

Take a ziplock plastic bag and fill it halfway with water, put it in the shoe and place it in the freezer and wait. The formation of ice in the bag will cause the shoe to expand and stretch.

We are sure that this effective, DIY shoe-stretching method will delight you. So now, you know how to deal with the new shoes stuck in the back of your closet!
