  • Suede. Suede shoes are stretched using ice. The material is stretched due to the fact that having solidified, the water expands. This method requires a sealed bag with water poured into it. The package must be placed in shoes. Next, the shoes are put in the freezer for one day. The package should be removed after the ice melts.
  • Textiles. To increase the size of footwear from textiles, it is necessary to pour boiled water. Then immediately wear and wear until it dries.

  • wood - birch, beech, cedar;
