Immediately after processing, shoes should be worn with a durable toe, until the necessary areas are dried, taking the shape of the foot. This stretch variant can be repeated several times to achieve the best result.

Stretching with castor oil alsois a universal way of influencing tight shoes. After oil treatment from the inside, it takes several hours to walk in shoes. Oil softens problem areas, so that the shoes get the exact outline of the foot. This method is inconvenient because after the procedure, the fat from the inside should be thoroughly cleaned. Replace the oil with an alcohol solution (with water one to one), cologne, and even kerosene. But this method is even more uncomfortable, since the smell after treatment will persist for a long time.

How at home to stretch leather shoes

Products made of genuine leather are the most durable and durable. Therefore, they will be able to withstand more aggressive methods of influence. For example, high and low temperatures.

Under the influence of high temperature, naturalthe skin is able to expand and become softer. Warm up the shoes with a hairdryer, or hold it for a while over boiling water. Warm up shoes should be worn until fully cooled and dried. Warm skin immediately acquires the desired form and retains it for a long time. After the procedure, so that the skin does not dry up, it should be treated with a nutritious cream for shoes.

Stretch shoes from genuine leather can also beunder the influence of low temperature, by the method of freezing. First, plastic bags are inserted into the shoes (in each case 2, in case the package is broken). Then water is poured into the inner bag. It is necessary to make sure that large creases do not form inside the shoes, for this, packs should be maximally expanded. Water should completely fill the space inside the shoes. A packet of water is tied, and the other remains open. In this position, the shoes are placed in the freezer at least for the night. In the process of freezing, water will gradually increase in volume, stretching the shoes.

After the treatment of shoes in one way or another, you must always apply the cream.

As a rule, genuine leather shoes can be worn alone after a few weeks. Therefore, perhaps you should not rush with such radical measures of stretching.

How to stretch shoes from artificial leather or a substitute

Such shoes are much harder to stretch thannatural. When exposed to high temperatures, such products come into disrepair. Therefore, it is necessary to act more carefully. The most effective and safe way of stretching will be filling with moist paper or cloth. The tissue (paper) needs to be moistened in hot water, quickly wring out and fill the inside of the shoe. When stuffing shoes, you need to carefully design the shape, so that there are no distortions or deformations. Shoes with padding should completely dry, and away from heat sources.

How to stretch your boots

For boots without a fur lining, you can apply the same stretching methods as for shoes.

And boots with a lining can be processedmeans for softening the skin or oil only from the outside. The safest way is to wear several pairs of socks (for more efficiency you can moisten them in hot water) and so wear a few hours. The procedure will have to be repeated several times, since it is impossible to wear wet winter boots with a fur lining to complete drying. Having removed worn-out boots, you should immediately fill them with paper or pieces of soft cloth. Drying boots is necessary in natural conditions, away from heat.

How can I stretch suede and lacquer shoes

Such products can only be processed from the inside. Any impact on the outer surface can damage the shoes.

Use only stretching methods withsoft sparing action without temperature loads. It is best to wear shoes in warm wet socks (previously moistened in hot water) until completely dry. In addition, it can also be used with wet paper or cloth.

Suede shoes are quite elastic, so it can be carried, just often at home. After a while, it will ideally "sit down" in the shape of the foot.

How to buy shoes

As with the purchase of new shoes, you can avoid unwanted surprises:

1. Since morning almost every person has a leg morerefined than in the afternoon. During the day, tired feet swell slightly. Therefore, buying new shoes is better in the afternoon. Shoes, acquired in the morning, in the evening can be very close.
2. When choosing a new pair of shoes also need to payattention to completeness, width and uplift. Perhaps, the model you like is not suitable for other parameters. If the shoes are too narrow, you should not buy a larger size. From the sliding forward and backward on the legs are formed calluses.
3. It is not necessary after buying a new pair of shoes immediatelygo out into it on the street. Before that, you need some time to be like in a new house. If you feel discomfort, shoes that are not worn on the street can be returned or exchanged for a more comfortable model.

When stretching shoes at home, you must act with extreme caution. Stretch the shoes, while not harming her, you can only half the size, no more.

Shoes made of genuine leather are best "stretched". Shoes or sandals made from textile fabrics are almost impossible to stretch, a strong impact will only break the structure of the material.

On footwear from leatherette after freezing orjust wet processing can appear cracks. Shoes from poor-quality, poorly treated skin after wet treatment when dried will become even more rigid and warped.

Very expensive shoes should not be stretched independently. It is better to go to the workshop, where special shoe pads of different sizes are used.
