shrinking salehe bembury crocs pollex

Purchased the Paris Fashion Week colorway through GOAT, accidentally ordered the wrong size. a size 10, needed to get them down to 9 or wait the whole return process for a size 9.
Decided to do the boiling water method, thought it would be most affective and less damaging. Reason being is, I had a black pair and put them in the dryer with the damp towels and i guess the heat from the dryer softens the crocs material and the fins from the dryer ended up doing damage to the some of the ridges of the heel so i canceled that method out for this pair and that is my explanation to as of why i did the boiling water method.
I wasn't able to find an in depth video so i decide to make one and post it to my social medias and then post the video here as well. enjoy!
if you guys read the description let me know; what method would you do? what would you do differently? and any other questions you may have!
Thank you guys for the support!
