DIY - Loosen Your Tight Shoes

For Leather Shoes: 

Wear thick socks and add heat:

- Put on the thickest socks you have and squeeze your feet into the shoes.

-Heat the tight area of the shoes using a hairdryer gently and bend your feet back and forth as much as you can for 20-30 seconds. 

- Remove the heat source but leave the shoes on until they have cooled. Try the shoes on with your normal socks or stockings.

- Repeat until the shoes have stretched enough.

For Non-Leather Shoes: 

Freeze them with a bag of water:

- Fill a hole-free ziplock sealable sandwhich bag or similar plastic bag about one third to halfway with water and seal tightly. One bag for each or your shoes. 

- Place a bag inside each shoe and push into place so that it fills your entire shoe. 

- Place your shoes in the freezer, (if you're living with someone then make sure to ask them before if they are okay with it) and let them sit until the water freezez. As the water freezes, it will expand into your shoes, gently stretching it. 

-Remove from the freezer and let them thaw for about 20-30 minutes before trying to remove the bags. 

-Try the shoes on again to see how the shoes fit and repeat after a while if needed.
