If possible, shoes should be exchanged for a more suitable size. If this is not possible, you can deal with it on your own. Not many people know how to carry sneakers that they press at home. But most materials used in production are stretched. There are the following methods for this:

• Genuine Leather. Genuine leather shoes can be stretched by wearing it a couple of days at home. To speed up the process, it is best done in wet wool socks. The process will take 2-3 days.
• Suede. Suede shoes are stretched using ice. The material is stretched due to the fact that hardened, the water expands. For this method, you will need a sealed bag with water poured into it. The package must be placed in shoes. Next, the shoes are put in the freezer for one day. The bag should be pulled out after the ice has melted.
• Textile. To increase the size of shoes made of textiles, it is necessary to pour boiled water. Then immediately put on and wear until it dries.
• Leatherette. Leatherette products stretch long enough. To do this, wear socks soaked in an alcohol-containing substance, and then wear sneakers.

Mold holder

Many people ask themselves questions: what to do if the sneakers are small, can sneakers be stretched to a size? In order to stretch the shoes to size, you should resort to a radical method - solving the problem mechanically using a mold holder.

Important! Shaped holders are called wooden blocks, with the help of which there is a tensile force. They can be purchased at specialized shoe stores.

Mold holders are made from various materials:

• wood - birch, beech, cedar;
• plastic.

Important! We do not recommend saving on good wooden blocks, since plastic ones are not strong enough and short-lived. It is better to buy quality products, albeit somewhat more expensive, because they are always useful!

Mode of application:

1. Before using mold holders, it is necessary to apply a special spray for stretching. You can also use alcohol or glass cleaner.
2. Then you need to insert the pads in the shoes and leave in this condition for a day.
