Cold freeze method

Very simple and economical option. To do this, we need two plastic bags - first check them for integrity. Further, to stretch the sneakers at home with these simple devices, proceed as follows:

1. We insert the packages inside and fill them with water.
2. We put it in the freezer until it is completely frozen and give time to the frozen water (in our case it will already be ice) to change the size of the textiles, since the ice tends to expand when it freezes.
3. At the end of the day, we take out sports products and give time to thaw a little, so that it is easier to get ice packs.

However, this method may not be very effective if the sneakers are small in length, since the sole of such shoes is rubber and the cold will not affect its size in any way.

Hot method

This technology, unlike cold freezing, is more suitable if a new pair shakes you in the sole. Here you can resort to two options.

Option one

Take a hairdryer to heat problem areas, put on a woolen sock and walk into them to complete comfort.

Second option

This method is more complex. For him we need some kind of capacity - in our case it will be the same box in which you purchased a new pair. Further, to stretch the sneakers from the fabric:

1. We cut a hole for the hairdryer in the box.
2. We put “not in size” sports products in the box, insert the hair dryer into the hole and turn it on at full power for 30 minutes. Hot air acts comprehensively - both on the fabric and on the sole.
3. Further - you again put them on a woolen sock and wear them for 30-40 minutes.
4. After the manipulation, you will feel how your sneakers took the shape of a foot. If on the first try you were not able to achieve the desired result, repeat this procedure again.

Important! Be careful not to overdo it, since heat treatment has a bad effect on the glued seams of products.
