Months ago we talked in this blog about remedies for loose shoes. Often, especially during seasonal changes, it can happen that a pair of shoes becomes larger from one year to the next and therefore difficult to wear.
There are remedies for loose shoes, and they're really simple to implement. But what about what happens when your shoes feel tight? This is the opposite of the first problem, but there's always a solution.
As in the first case, a pair of shoes or boots can feel tight due to changes that have occurred in our body, perhaps during a season when we haven't used that pair of footwear. In reality, this often happens because the leather and construction materials of footwear tend to "shrink" during periods of disuse. In fact, the combination of these two things then creates what we call "tight shoes."
How do we fix this? The solution to our problem is found in the image on the right. It's a classic shoe stretcher, easily found in any shopping center and at a truly negligible price compared to the great work it does for us.
It just goes infilaplaced in a pair of shoes and then the levers that allow you to slowly widen the shoes must be "pulled", taking care not to overdo it and perhaps leaving the shoes on at regular intervalsgolare letting this tool do its job.
In fact, with this tool, if used well, we can widen our shoes even by a centimeter, which is practically equivalent to an extra size and solves our problem. In fact, it is difficult for us to exceed the threshold of 1 cm as a difference.
What are the risks associated with shoes? Nobody, to use it well! The only precaution lies in using it gradually, widening the shoes by a millimeter per day and then leaving them under tension so that the fibers gradually give way. If we do not observe this simple regola in fact we risk ruining our pumps or our boots forever and this would be quite unpleasant!
Any other precautions to take? None other than using your shoes which will have finally resumed the shape of your foot. Just one note, sometimes a pair of shoes "dilated" with this tool can have a slightly different fit, don't be scared, it's normal as we acted on the fibers that were "deformed" with repeated use.golare will bring the shoe back to its natural manufacturing shape and will therefore be worn again as it once was.
Absolutely not to sprays! Various sprays are available on the market to achieve this shoe stretching effect, but we do not recommend them as they contain chemical agents and could ruin the quality of our shoes.
