Have you ever bought shoes that were too small but it was too late to return them?Ice can be used to stretch out your shoes at home.The shoe stretching technique will allow you to wear your shoes in no time at all.
Step 1: The freezer bags should be filled with water.
One bag for each of your shoes is what you're going to fill with water.When the water is frozen into ice, use strong plastic baggies that are specifically made for the freezer.Depending on what area of your shoe you're trying to stretch, the amount of water used fill the baggies with will vary.
Step 2: Check the bags.
Make sure the bags are sealed and that there is no extra air in them.This will help keep the bag from popping in the freezer, allow all the water to fill out the shape of the shoe without bubble pockets, and make it easier to insert the bags into the shoes.
Step 3: Put the bag in your shoe.
It's important that the bag doesn't open or rip as you put your shoes in.If you are trying to stretch out, try to get the bag as close to the toe of your shoe as possible.
Step 4: You can put your shoes in the freezer.
Put your shoes in the freezer for at least 8 hours.The water has enough time to freeze.
Step 5: The bags of ice need to be removed.
If you want to take out the bags of ice, you have to let your shoes sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.It will be easier to remove the baggies when the ice thaws.After allowing the baggies to thaw, if the bags of ice still won't come out of your shoes, you can try to break the ice and then remove them.The alternatives are better than pulling on the baggies, ripping them, and having open bags of water and ice in your shoes.The water could cause damage to your shoes.
