Ways to Carry Suede Shoes That Shake

To get started, start with the most important method that helps stretch suede shoes, absolutely any - wear it regularly. In order to protect yourself from uncomfortable sensations, do it better at home. You can do this, for example, doing household chores, put on new shoes and show off in front of your loved ones.

Suede is a fairly flexible material, so as a result of constant wear, it will still take the shape you need. In addition, if it is worn on the street, this will lead to the rapid deterioration of new shoes, its pollution, and abrasion.

Important! If you wear shoes for a long time, but you can’t take them apart, ask someone else to do this — one whose foot size is larger than yours. The main thing is not to overdo it, because suede can stretch too long and lose its shape for a long time. And after that you may need to pull it off. As a result of all these constant manipulations, your suede shoes may even become unusable.

Maceration

In order to carry suede shoes a size larger at home, as soon as possible, use water:

  1. Dampen cotton socks with water, wring them thoroughly, and then put them on your feet.
  2. After that, put on the shoes that you want to carry.
  3. Walk around the house until the socks are dry.

Important! As a rule, one or two procedures are quite enough for the shoes to stretch to the size you need.

If you squeeze a sock, take the paper, lightly wet it, and then firmly stuff shoes or boots with it. When the paper you stuffed is dry, the size of your shoes or boots will increase slightly.

Important! It is undesirable to take newsprint for this purpose, although it is easily creased. Ink from labels can go to insoles:

  • if they are of a light shade - shoes will lose their appeal;
  • if they are dark, you will later wonder what tights and socks after shoes are painted on.
