10 Days of Fashion - Stretch Your Shoes!

Day 3 -

Okay, so what happens when you REALLY want a shoe.. finally get it and they are too tight?! Return them for a bigger size right? With these holiday sales.. there wont be another size. So, heres to AWESOME solutions to stretching your shoes.  That reaally work!


This way is quick and works but in my opinion the second way is more effective..



  1. Put on socks  and slip on your shoes. 
  2. Aim the hairdryer on the tight section for a few seconds (wiggle and stretch your feet inside the shoe for maximum benefit).
  3. Keep the shoes on while they cool.
  4. Remove the socks and test out shoes.
  5. It should be stretched out, but if you need more room, then repeat the process.



  1. Take your zip top bag and fill a quarter of the way up with water.
  2. Put the bags into the toes of the shoes.
  3. Then place in the freezer.
  4. Now we wait. It can take at least five or six hours for the water to freeze solid. What's happening is as the water freezes, the ice expands and gently stretches the shoe. Your results will depend on what your shoes are made of. If you have a real leather shoe, one time will do it for you. Other shoes might need more than one stretch.
  5. let the ice thaw before you remove the bag from the shoe. You don't want to damage the shoe removing the ice. Let it thaw a little so it will slide gently out.
