A few months ago, I told you about
Victoria Beckham's advice to all high heel fans out there,
whereby wearing a new pair of heels around the housew ith a pair of
thick socks should loosen them up to fit your foot better. Many of you
agreed, and lots of you came up with loads of other fabulous ideas as
well. Carry on reading to see what they were!
1. Take some newspaper sheets and shape them inside the shoe so
they're tight. Then pour alcohol (from a chemist) around the paper until
it's wet outside, and put it in the shoe again. Apparently this is
fabulous for making leather stretch if you have a pair of leather shoes
which are pinching, but it takes around three days to work.
Alternatively, as Arelya suggested, pouring the alcohol in and then
wearing thick socks works even more quickly.
2. You could try putting leather shoes in the microwave inside a
plastic bag (just for a few seconds) - but as Jimena, who made the
suggestion, pointed out, there could be nails that aren't visible so
it's a risky one!
3. Use a nail-file in the shoe where it rubs until soft.
4. If the leather is very tough, stuff the shoe tightly with
newspaper or socks then cover the shoe with fabric and hammer it,
softening the leather. Arelya recommends this if your shoes are too
tough to wear in even with socks.
Do you have anyone fabulous tips to share with the rest of our
Shoewawa readers? Post a comment and I'll update the post! Happy heel
wearing...!
