Got new shoes? But, they are little too tight and needs a little stretching. Just wearing them out would take a while plus it's uncomfortable and possibly cause blisters. The key to stretching is that the new shoes need to start at least close to the real size like half a size smaller. (Do not try on shoes that are significantly small otherwise you will end up with a distorted and out of shape shoes that don't fit)
So how do you loosen those new beauties?
Take a sandwich zip lock bag. Fill it half way with water. Insert the bag in your new shoes that need stretching. Put the shoes in the freezer. When the water freezes, the bag will expand. Take the shoe out and let the bag defrost enough to remove them. Voila, and the shoes will fit.
