Me: comes to see how to stretch shoes
Me: lost in the comments😂
Me too🤣
mom would literally slap me left n right if she saw my shoes inside the freezer
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
LMFAO same. dad would be like "wtf is this shit"
made my day :D:D
Nikki Liane fr😂💯
*walks into kroger* "Hi, do you have any size 11 potatoes?"
LMAO
😂😂😂😂😂
Joseph Brewington lol
IM DEAD!! 😂😂😂
Laughing so hard
her voice is identical to Lindsay Lohan's
And they look alike
I thought she sounded like Drew Barrymore.😂
This chick is way more articulate😂 and minus the raspy smokiness LiLo has. But I love Lilo she needs to make a come back
I was totally trying to figure out why I recognized her voice thank you was driving me crazy, she just needs to smoke a carton a day to Match her rasp!! 💨💨💨💨😂😂😂😂
I put two pairs of relatively thick socks on and then proceeded to use the blow dry method and it worked really well on my faux leather shoes. I recommend it.
do we need to repeat the process or do it just once?
you should only really need to do it once, but if your not happy with the result you can always do it again.
+XDLadyHydrangea thank u
Was looking for this since she said leather and was unsure if it'd work on faux ones :D
Sorry I paid 11$ to have my shoes stretched and dude did absolutely nothing on my shoes. They're still so tight! Do you think they'll work on Louboutins? Please thank you
a good bit of advice if you're going on a date is to remove the potato from your shoes. i've learned that women don't respect that. it's also super hard to walk.
yes. put the potato in your pants. the front. not the back.
Montel Killman this is one of my favorite CZcams comments, ever. Happy Halloween 2017 :)
I keep forgetting 🤦

Really, all the girls love my potato and it is easy to walk around. You need to find better girls
Duuuuuuude!! The blow dryer and sock trick WORKS!! Mind blown 🤯
To increase shoe size, I found that the following routine is successful: 1. Wet some paper towels; 2. Stuff the paper towels into the shoe(s) in question; 3. Tie the shoes securely in order to increase the freezing pressure; 4. Place the shoe(s) in the freezer over night; 5. Remove the shoes in the morning and allow the towels to defrost; 6. Remove the paper towels;7. Try on the shoe(s); and, finally; 8. Repeat as necessary (which most likely will be the case) until the shoe(s) fits. Freezing causes the water in the paper towels to expand putting great pressure on the inside of the shoe increasing it's size. By tying the shoe, this pressure is increased. I successfully used this technique on a new shoe which I bought which was too small.
Ik this is years later but I bought some basketball shoes that were tight and this helped me thank u
I used the thick socks and hairdryer method and it really worked. I bought a brand new pair of heeled loafers on ebay but they felt really tight, especially around the toes, so much so that I could feel them curling in at the sides - very painful! The loafers are leather lined but the outer lining is a synthetic material and quite stiff so I was worried about using this method and unintentionally ruining them but I ensured the hairdryer (on full heat) was kept about 5cm away from the outer area of the shoe. I used this method about 2-3 times and walked around the house with the socks still on as the shoes cooled down, took the socks off and the shoes fit absolutely perfectly!
How long dod u do it for? I have pointy toe leather booties and i did 30 seconds on one foot then 30 second on the other. Each foot had total of 1.5 minutes

Did you have to repeat the process every time you wore the shoes?
it be nice if you could hear what she saying instead you hear that music.
+bobbie bateman Yes, and the music is horrible...
+bobbie bateman You can clearly hear her voice, the music's not even that loud..
+bobbie bateman the video wasn't even worth watching
soelawst s aww
such a weird music choice too
Don't use a hot blow dryer it melts the glue and the soles come off.
Yeah and after awhile it’ll just go back to how it was
for those of you whose parents won't let you put your shoes in the freezer just put the shoes in a plastic bag first
Right I was thinking the same thing, and I use a soft brush w a lil soap especially on the soles sometimes wipe them down with alcohol after all clean. I’m super OCD though like do you guys leave your plates on the counter, in the sink or dishwasher after you cook and eat?? Well I have a way nice Bosch dishwasher but mostly hand wash and dry everything right after I’m done eating 🍽 it makes my wife laugh but she never has had to do dishes in 11 years! I own my own house and put whatever the hell I want in the damn freezer!😂😂🖕🖕
For those? Are there parents that allow it
@@streetteamdjony2000 excuse me. Im a Real person w/ ocd could you...not?
@@poopoodoodoo2734 bc thats offensive by saying "im so ocd" it sounds bratty. At this time,i was rly struggling
@@neverhere506 oh sorry
When I buy my shoes I take a lot of old newspaper and apply liquid shoe stretch. Then I form them into a ball, place them in a plastic bag (apply more shoe stretch in my shoes), stuff into my shoes for about three days or longer.
I tried the blow dryer trick with my Converse, and it worked really well!!!
Just did it rn on my converse play series and it's not working 🥺
The bag in the freezer worked for me... now I have cool toes and since I put koolaid in the water - ice pops for summertime. =D
do you know if this method works for leather shoes too? i mean would it damage them or is it safe?
Lika Aprilia Hey Lika: Seriously, if you want to stretch your leather shoes, best way is to go to walmart and buy a shoe stretcher for $9.97. That way you have control over how far they are stretched. Don't overstretch them... do a little at a time, and put some conditioner on them. The ice works for boots - uggs, bearpaws. Good luck! ♥
how long you put them in?

I tried the hair dryer/sock thing and it worked brilliantly! I had my shoe in a shoe stretcher for days and it didn't do much. This method was fantastic. Thanks for the tip.
Did it work long term?
This is so useful! I got a pair of shoes from my nan but they were too small, they're so nice though so I'm glad this worked
omg the blow dryer one really worked with my shoes. thank u 😁
Kretel Kruze rttttrp
Does it work for suede shoes
the blow drier one really worked! i'm so happyyyy! ty
Thick sock trick worked on my desert boots thank you so much !!

SUCH great tips. I wore my tight leather loafers with very thick socks for a few hours around the house, and I didn't even have to use a blow dryer to get results. my shoes actually fit without hurting now. AMAZING HACK! THANKS so much.
trying this
I bet that was painful 😣 trying to walk around in the shoe that's already tight, so not doing that and don't have a blow-dryer either🤔👀🤔 Thanks anyhow.
@@jacquelynjones2932 nah not painful if it's about 1 size off. Really works.
I tried putting on the heavy sweat socks, with some shoes I ordered from Michael Kor... it worked!!!! Amazing these are some shoes I evidently didn’t want too return and I’m soooo glad I don’t have now!
Thank you!!!!
How did you do it? My shoes are precisely from MK
Will it work for sneakers Canvas?
Most definitely trying the shoe stretching method on my leather loafers. It's the best option imo.
Thank you! Ice is STILL in them, but I've tried them on and they seem to be a whole half size bigger! I'm putting them back in till tomorrow when I must wear them! 💖
Quick and straight to the point. Good!
I bought two pairs of shoes and they said they were my size but when they arrive they were too tight. So... here I am.
Samee
Sameeeee
Did any of this "tricks" work?
I forgot about this but I used a hair dryer to loosen my leather heel shoes I bought and they fit like a dream now! I tried something with ice with other shoes but it didn’t do anything. It could be because they have fabric outside the leather so the fabric wouldn’t loosen.
Ahhhh sameee it’s so annoying
OMG Thank you very much! I was skeptical when I buy shoes because I'm always around size 5 or 6 because the length of my feet is for size 6 but it is too thin that I sometimes wear a size 5. So when I tried the shoe in the store it was fine and a little too fit but when I tried the size 6, it was too big for my feet because of its width so I bought the size 5. But when I wore it at home, thats when I realize that it is too tiny it terms of length for my feet.... anyway, I just used the heat method with my newly bought leather shoes and it is awesome! thank you so so much!!
This is the same exact problem I have right now😁 (sometimes I'm a 5, sometimes a 5 and a half or a 6:/) I guess I'll definitely try out the technique then !👍
If you dint mind me asking what size are you now, just curious 2 years later
Will it be work for sneakers?
@@aresol6487 nd I'm curious 7 years later
Wow, i just bought a pair of five tens online and it was a half a size smaller and shipped from the UK. You just saved me a load of shipping costs! I used the thick socks and blow-dry method. Altho i used a heat gun in the lowest setting. Thanks for making this video!
The blowdryer method really workd ...thank you so much
New leather shoes one was tight on top bridge foot did the blow dryer method , it works great thank you
The blowdryer method was the best for me.
I have got this leader 👡, i bought it quite tight as the sell person said it will get bigger after i wear it for sometime, but it was so painful to wear after one hour. Then next day i went to the shoe shop to stretch out, they stretched it out and it was comfortable but after awhile it became the original size again. Now i am going to try this dryer hack. I hope it will stretch out permanently.
The blow-dryer really worked ..Thanks a bunch
I just love this so much
My left foot is a bit bigger than the right so my one new balance shoe hurts my foot a bit from the width of my foot, hopefully the method works! I just popped my shoe in the freezer, going to wait overnight and see the results!
Non leather shoes: put wet sand in a plastic bag(not soggy wet) and push it all the way to the toes area, leave overnight and they should widen if the toes area is the one you want widened
Why is the music so over bearing? Can hardly hear them talk at times.
cremilar headphones....
A strange choice for sure
I used the blow dryer and it worked. Thank you.
Needed this! Thank you!
Great vid!!!!! Informative!!!!
Plenty of shoe stretchers in women sizes. Both for flats and high heels. Isn't that a shoe tree you're holding there? Just clarifying. Usually shoe stretchers have handles and knobs.
i tried the blow dryer trick it really works Thanks 👍
I will try the ice one on my converse!
Hair dryer worked for me, thank you so much
great tips. I am about to give away my Ecco brand new shoes cause too tight when reach home. At hte shop its fit. Now this video save me. Thanks a lot!
The Blow dryer and wearing thick socks worked to expand my jimmy choos leather ankle booties. I was scared the heat would ruin the leather but it didnt.
it worked IMA subscribe thank uuuuu
Thank you!!
i got in trouble for putting my shoes in the freezer
Malath Daffaallah me too😔
Malath Daffaallah Lmfao I did it at night stayed up all night
Malath Daffaallah lmao
Put your shoes into a plastic bag so mom doesn’t complain about the dirt and smell in her freezer 🤪
Malath Daffaallah same 😂❤️😂
Great information! Music is slightly too much though. Thanks for putting this together!
Awh I wish this channel uploaded videos every week or month. 😢 I would love to work with them 💖
Great vid thanks a lot!
That's NOT a shoe stretcher but rather a SHOE TREE! A shoe tree helps keep the shape of the shoe when not worn. A shoe stretcher has a crank at the end that makes the shoe stretcher expand.
+Kevin P they clearly didnt do their homework because there are different stretchers for different types of shoes... smh
My thoughts exactly
Another couple of "pretty" talking heads. What a couple of morons. That is obviously a cedar shoe tree which has no mechanism to stretch a shoe.
Earlier i bought 2 leather shoes from same online shop and they fit well. Then recently bought a new one of same size but its a bit tight. As its leather hoping it will stretch
very helpful, thanks
The bag and freezer worked for me Thank You 😃😃😃
***** the heat and thick sock worked on my football shoes
I have some summer shoes that turned out a bit tight, I put a shoe stretcher and put them under the sun for a few hours, it gets really hot here, above 40, it works too.
These seem like great tips for stretching out the toe area of shoe, but what about the back of the shoe? I've had too many shoes cause bleeding or blistered heels!
I wanna do the freezer one but my parents would be so confused and scream at my for putting my shoes in the freezer😂
Just tell them that you found a way to save the shoes/money and that’ll put them on your team.
For the freezing trick should it be on top in the cooling part of the fridge or the freezer part
Great video!!!
Hairdryer method really worked with my adidas!
Can you do the ice method also with cork wedges? Or will it damage them?
It took forever for my rollerskates to arrive in the mail and they feel a half a size too small so here I am😳 I’d have to take everything out of the freezer to do the “frozen water method” 😆
I have done the freezer method but.. U want to put a freezer bag inside shoe first. Tilt the shoe upward and then fill half way. Then put shoe upright in your fridge. If u put water in bag first then put in shoe the water will spill out.
I have done the water in bag in shoe in freezer method before and somehow the bags LEAKED and ruined my shoes.
Be sure to double bag and be sure of a good seal!
probably because you didn't make sure it was super sealed
Yep you messed up
Will the blow dry method work on suede sandals too?
Is it okay to remove the cushioning from running shoes if it is a bit tight ? Please reply ..
i'll look into it! xx
can i use the blowdrying thing on timberlands?
Im hoping one of these tips is going to help, I bought an absolutely stunning pair of sparkly pumps but got the quite a bit too small, re ordered them in a bigger size but I think they are lost in the post so I'm left with this stunning pair of too small shoes so I'm trying the zip lock bag in the freezer tip tonight maybe it will help but I'm not sur cos they are litteraly like 2cm too small for my feet. Which isnt a problem I usually have as I have quite small feet (im a size 36 in french sizes). Anyways it would be amazing if your tips help cos I dont feel like buying the same pair of shoes 3 times lol
I got a nice pair of waterproof Timberland boots and I need these facts now. I've never wore them
The blow dry method worked! I can't believe it! good job
Anita Newton did you use leather conditioner on it afterward?
does it work with heeellsss???
Your first stepped was the solution for my leather shoes thx
can you use the blowdrying technique on a pair of nmd?

Which method would work best for faux saude ankle boots?
how about running shoes with that zoom kinda thing, will it damage the thread inside the ultra-responsive zoom air?
It actually worked. Thanks💐🤩
will these work on vans?
My daughters show was too tight and now it’s perfect. Tysm!
Which method did u use?
wow Thank you
question Can it work with slipers
I use a thick wash cloth, while steamed wet, wrung out of course, very hot, stuffed in the shoe, leave for a few hours or overnight. Shoe will be a comfy fit. You may want to put a dry cloth in the shoe just make sure it doesn't shrink as it dries.
Great great great information shoe buying is a hard time for me
Would these work for shoes that are one size smaller?
Lil@ there is a potato in the room:) Great tips, thanks Allison and you look great as always, so inspirational. Love, Iman
Thank you
Does that freeze method work for boots?
Does the dryer method work on shoes main out of fabric
Would any of these work with huaraches ?
thank god for this i got small shoes and i was too shy to ask for another pair that fit me better plus the people that worked there looked busy so i decided to take them any how lol
+Angelica Perez (5757angelica) if you paid money you shouldn't be too shy to get what you need. next time speak up its their job to accommodate you.
thanks i will ask next time . Anyways the shoes fit me nice now but yeah i need to work on not making things harder than they are
+Angelica Perez (5757angelica) same
You might have social anxiety m8..
damn you bought the wrong shoes because your too shy to ask someone to do their job? life is going it push you around hun

Hi I have suede men loafers shoes sz 10.5 and I worn them three times but the problem I have now is that when I walk with loafers on the side of loafers becomes loose and they flap when I'm walking does that mean shoes are big on me ?
