Often after buying a favorite pair of shoes with horror, we have to admit that the new clothes are very tight. It is not necessary to panic ahead of time, to stretch shoes at home is quite real, though, a maximum of one size.
You do not have to start right away, it's possible that your legs just got a little swollen after a long shopping trip. It is necessary to wait for the morning, to carry out one more fitting and, if necessary, to start stretching manipulations. Choosing the options for impact, you need to consider the type of shoes, the quality of the material, the direction( you need to add length or width).
Before increasing the size of the shoe by stretching the material, it is necessary to evaluate the following factors:
- If synthetics are pressed, then it is better to refuse such a purchase. This raw material is valued precisely for the property of maintaining its shape under any conditions. It can not even be professionally processed;
- Trying to increase the size of textiles, you can damage the fibers and spoil the thing;
- It happens that people are shaking any new products, it does not matter, boots are shoes or shoes, they are lacquer or leather. In this case, it is recommended to give preference to products with wedge-shaped inserts. They easily stretch and do not create problems in the process of wearing;
- All materials have their own stretch limit. Even the natural leather has different indicators depending on the origin( boots made of kangaroo leather stretch easier than from the skin of a bull).
Regardless of the selected treatment procedure, after reaching the desired result, the products are covered with polish, this will allow fixing a new size, especially if physical phenomena were used in the process.
The most simple and affordable options for stretching new shoes on the basis of the mechanical impact of
Ideally, if new boots, shoes or boots are not so tight and time allows, it is recommended to use mechanical techniques. They do not act so quickly, but they do not lead to a change in the form and functionality of products.
Just a few days the shoes will get the right size. This is the best option to stretch lacquer or leather shoes, to adjust their width and not to provoke the formation of cracks.
- Shoes can be carried. In it you just have to walk around the house all your free time. It is necessary to walk, not sit. If a tight pair is simply pulled to the feet and put on the floor or even raised, getting edemas is guaranteed, the material, especially natural, does not stretch at all;
- If you do not want to torture your own legs, it's worth trying a version with socks. The first option will help to stretch suede boots, shoes from leatherette or genuine leather, ragged moccasins. Bare several socks of fine wool, turn into tight rolls and densely lay out the products. Leave this way for the night, in the morning we check the result. If necessary, repeat the approach;
- Lucky shoes or rubber shoes with socks do not stretch, but you can try the approach with potatoes. We clear roots of the right size and densely we put in an object, if necessary we add crumpled newspapers. The surface of a product should be boiled. We keep the tubers until they dry well. The remaining liquid is easily wiped off with a damp cloth.
Tip: If the result needs to be obtained quickly, then the listed methods can be combined. Three days later, we evaluate the effect. The absence of visible changes will indicate incorrect execution of basic actions or lack of necessary properties for matter.
How to increase the size of shoes using manipulations based on physical phenomena?
To quickly and strongly stretch the shoes at home, you will have to resort to more aggressive methods of exposure. There are approaches that can make more varnished boats, leather boots, synthetic sneakers and boots from kozhzama.
The main thing is to act cautiously. And before you stretch suede shoes or similar fragile and elegant things, it's better to practice something unnecessary.
- If the products get on their feet without difficulty and tighten only when worn, you can try the option with socks and thermal impact. This will not only get the right size, but also significantly increase the width of the shoe. We put on the thickest socks( you can even not be alone) and squeeze into the shoes. Determine the closest area and apply it to warm air from the dryer within half a minute. At the same time, we try to make stretching movements with our legs. Then we wait until the material cools down, we remove and try to put the product on the bare leg or on the stocking. If they are still tight, repeat the approach.
- Freezing. This approach is a real salvation for those who do not know how to stretch shoes from artificial leather. Exposing natural material to such torture is not recommended, the consequences can be most unpredictable. We take an air balloon or a plastic bag without holes, fill it with water for a third and tighten it. We put it in tight shoes and put it away for the night in the refrigerator. Water, freezing, will expand, increasing the volume of the product. In the morning we take out the designs, wait until the ice is sweeping and we remove it.
- Boots made from leatherette are well stretched by wet newspapers. The method can be used for leather products, its distinctive ability is to preserve the original form. The newspapers are moistened with water abundantly, we form dense lumps, stuff them with things. After drying the paper, we take it out and try on the products.
If the shoe size does not increase even after such manipulations, and the shoes are mercilessly squeezed, you can try a professional stretcher tool. The composition is applied to the material, softening it and facilitating stretching.
However, almost all such tools are designed for leather products and adversely affect other materials.
