Scout Report

Sometimes when we are stuck with shoes that are just a little bit small. We wish that the shoes could stretch just a little bit to fit nicely. Here is a nice step by step tutorial video that shows and explains how you can do just that using ice.

You will need 2 plastic sandwitch bags. Fill each plastic bag 1/4th with water. Put each platic bag inside the shoe such that it fills the entire inner area. Now put the shoes in the freezer. As the water freezes into ice it will expand and stretch the shoes. Take the shows out three four hours later and try them again. You might need to repeat this procedure a few times if the leather shrinks back.

Make sure stretching will not damage your shoes before trying this procedure. Don't try this procedure with expansive shoes.
