How to quickly wear new and tight shoes: proven life hacks

There are times when, after buying a new pair of shoes, you find that they are a little tight. Don't rush to get upset: there is a way to stretch them.

You don't have to immediately give up on shoes that don't fit well. The UAportal team together with Channel 24 talk about ways to fix the situation.

How to stretch shoes that are tight

There is a simple method that can be used to soften a new pair: purchasing a specialized chemical. Such products are usually available at shoe stores. If your goal is to make your shoes look a little longer, then a leather spray or foam will be a great solution, as they are designed to stretch your shoes safely.

After applying the product, you should put on your shoes and walk around in them for a while.

It is also possible to carry the shoes using improvised means. For example, a potato can be useful. You need to peel them and cut them so that the pieces fit the shape of the shoe. Then place the potatoes inside overnight to stretch them.

You can also stretch your shoes with regular newspapers. Moisten them with water, squeeze them well, and then fill them tightly into a tight pair and leave them overnight. In the morning you will feel that the shoes have become much more comfortable.

Another little-known but effective method is freezing. Cold, like heat, can increase the size of shoes. Fill a plastic bag with water and place it in your shoes, which should then be left in the freezer for 6-8 hours. When the water freezes and turns into ice, it will expand and stretch the shoes accordingly.
