It often turns out that the shoes, which were previously carefully tried on in the store, begin to mercilessly press and rub their feet when they are worn. In order not to have to put uncomfortable shoes on the back shelf of the closet, they must be carried.
Immediately after you buy your shoes, don't expect to go all day in new shoes. Wear them gradually, putting them on for an hour a day.
Buy a special stretch shoe spray. It is necessary to moisten your shoes with it in those places where it rubs you, inside and out. Then put on your shoes and walk around in them for a while. If your shoes are so tight that it hurts to walk in them, after you sprayed them, start stretching them with your hands.
If the shoes are too tight, folk methods will also help. Soak old newspapers, tear them apart, and tamp your shoes tightly. After that, set your shoes aside until the newspapers are dry. This usually takes about a day. Never put your shoes to dry next to a radiator or heater, this may make your shoes narrower!
Dampen thick socks with water, put on boots that are tight for you, and walk in them until the socks are dry.
You can dampen your shoes with vodka or rubbing alcohol. Moreover, it is necessary to wet the shoes from the inside, otherwise alcohol can spoil the appearance of the shoes. After that, shoes must be put on and walked in for some time. If your shoes are suede or made of fabric, alcohol is contraindicated for them. But you can stretch these boots with beer.
With winter shoes, you can do the following. Place a plastic bag in each shoe or boot and fill it with water. Tie up the bag and place your shoes in the freezer. Freezing, the water will expand and, accordingly, your shoes will stretch. Theoretically, this can be done with summer shoes, but it is not known how such shoes will withstand freezing temperatures.
You can give shoes that are small for you to a shoe repair shop. There it will be stretched to you on special equipment. However, keep in mind that not every workshop has the necessary instruments for this procedure.
