stretching shoes

[whatsthatabout]

does any MNers have any ideas about stretching slightly too tight shoes. I bought a pair of gorgeous snake print heels in Zara sale and they pinch one of my feet, but I REALLY want to wear them!

Never tried this, but apparently here's what you do:

Part fill a freezer bag with water (it will expand, so don't overfill). Put it into the shoe, then wrap the whole shoe in a plastic bag. Put it in the freezer, and the water will expand as it turns to ice stretching your shoe with it.

Let me know if it works : )

Wet (damp) newspapers filled tightly in the shoe let over night and repeat as many time as necessary. Or if you have a shoe wooden thingy (technical term) put inside the dampened shoe and set it as large as possible.
The freezing process might damage the leather, the rubber structure and make the glue unstick.

Shoe repair places sometimes have a machine for stretching shoes. I got a pair done but can't say I noticed much of a difference.

Stretching spray from Clarks. £3.

Used it to stretch some boots which were too narrow for my calves.

Worked a treat!

I put on 2 pairs of thick socks and wear them for a day around the house
