Making Tight Shoes Fit

March 10 | Posted by Lira | Shoes Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

I made a shopping mistake yesterday and bought myself a pair of really cute ballet flats that seemed to fit fine when I tried it on at the store, but feels so much tighter now when I tried it at home. I think I these shoes a size too small and I don’t have anymore time to go back to the store to exchange it because the store is really too far from where I live. So, I’m gonna have to make do with what I have and live with this. Fortunately, a friend of mine has suggested some tips to make tighter shoes fit better.

This tip should also work if your body has undergone a few changes, such as pregnancy, which automatically makes feet slightly a bit larger.

1. Break in your shoes. Get them worn out a bit well days before you have to actually wear them. Wear the shoes for at least two days so that the materials stretch and you can also find your comfort and bearing with it.
2. Invest in a shoe stretcher. This can be found at handyman stores or shoe stores. It takes patience to be able to handle a shoe stretcher as the results does not happen for days. Also, be careful when you use this stretcher so that you don’t loosen the shoes too much and break it.

3. Get a shoe stretch spray. This is also available at hardware stores. The spray helps make the material more supple and thus, stretches.
4. Use a blow drier for your shoes. They say that when the shoes is heated up, it can be easily stretched so before you wear them, blow dry them first.
