Good tip, I have a pair right now that I hate to wear as they hurt my feet.

OOoohhh yes I forgot that. I had a friend whose husband was in construction and he would do this with new leather work boots.

I have a pair of sandals I"m going to try that with. Was going to send them to the thrift store, but if I can wear them this summer, better yet! THANKS

Does anybody else remember doing that with a new pair of skin-tight jeans? Had to wear them wet until they were dry. (I wasn't allowed to wear them!)

Good tip, thank you!

Hmm never thought of that. But I just got rid of all my shoes that didn't fit when I moved darn. I have used the Shoe Stretch though that comes in a bottle.

Any time you have a new pair of shoes that hurt
all you have to do is wet a pair of socks
put shoes on and as you wear them during the day
they stretch and conform to your exact foot shape as it dries.

Half a century ago..okay, let's just say a lot of years ago I lived on a cattle ranch. The cowboys would buy a new pair of boots, pour hot water in them, dump it out and when cool enough wear the boots till they were dry. They fit nicely after that.

In fact, I'd forgotten that and still have a pair of ultra expensive boots that I've been trying to get up enough nerve to give to Sally Ann. I'll try the hot water. Guess my forgetter's working nicely and my rememberer is off kilter lately.

you can also spray them with alcohol or use a broom handle to rub the spots where if hurts
