I tried the water to ice method, didn't seem to work, the shoes seemed to have shrunk. The socks and blow dryer worked like a charm though, but that was some torture wearing 2 pairs of socks 😅
I've never thought to stretch shoes. That might be handy for pointy shoes which I never buy because I've never warn a pair that didn't kill my feet in the toe area. My feet just don't work with those type of shoes. Maybe stretching?
The reason why your second trick does not work that well is because you have to wait until shoes cool down so they do not strech back:) PS. I don't have any shoes to stretch, I know the tricks already, I am watching just because I like your energy:D take it as a highest compliment:)
I have jimmy choo peep toe shoes and I have wide feet, so it's a little snug in the width, but perfect at the length. I have a spray that I'm going to try first. If it still doesn't work then, I'll take mine to the cobbler. My mom did the fold over bag as well. I guess the ziploc was too expensive.
There’s a leather spray you can use with the crank tool that makes it loosen the leather. But you can only loosen the leather so much. If the shoe is too small, well it’s too small. Plus I don’t think you can stretch faux leather the same as real leather-I don’t waste money on faux though.
Double bagged my water and it still broke in my shoes... both of them sopping wet. Oh well... now wearing with big socks so they don' shrink!! Hoping they socks and wet shoes will do the job. If not, I'll take to a show man or back to Nordstrom.
please do not ice stretch your shoes..water expands when frozen and leather does harden and loose its elasticity when frozen . You compromising all the joints of the shoe. The shoe will not last long.
The sock one worked fine on my leather character shoes but I was only trying to take them like a half size up don’t know if it’ll stretch them any further
My husband has wide feet. He has such a hard time finding shoes that he actually likes. He tries to get his shoes in a size bigger. Or 2. It doesn't work. I have 2 really expensive pairs of shoes and he can't wear them! I have long skinny feet with that stupid 2nd toe that is longer...... Annoying. I have to buy a size bigger . It's crazy. I just bought show spray but I have some time and I think I'm going to try some water and heat. Woot woot. Needed these tips and tricks too! Have a good day!
Try getting shoes wet and then wearing them... I get a spray bottle and fill it with just water to start... Wear them around the house or in the yard... If that is not quite enough, mix the water with plain alcohol in a 50/50 solution. If you can get a pair or thick socks on with the tight shoes/boots, all the better. It wont happen in ten minutes or even an hour. It takes time and lots of spray applications. But, in time, leather should conform to your foot like it is your own skin.

Will the freezing work on leather shoes / boots as well ??
You can buy professional shoe stretching spray to use with the shoe stretcher.

When you put the shoes in the freezer, do you put them in a plastic bag as well? I have a pair of flats that are brand new and hard leather.
May you review the Forme' shoe shaper/widener? :-)

Thx for this cuz I ordered a Mary Jane shoes size 38 but they give me size 35 which impossible to fit my shoes
The heat really works well on PU and rubber. I shove a can in the shoe and blow heat.
If using the zip lock with water, leave shoes frozen for at least 72 hours... your welcome😅😂😅

My faux leather heels I have owned for 7 years reading this comment 👀👁️👁️🙄
I have the spray for the shoe. Yeah I notice it doesn't work that well on faux materials.
The ice were expand in the opposite direction of the toes, thereby not causing any stretch. Path of these resistance.
