Invest in a special device to stretch your shoes
A recurring theme in this list of effortless hacks involves ways of fixing tight-fitting footwear. If blow-drying your stiff shoes or placing them inside the fridge overnight with water-filled plastic bags don’t help, you could purchase a special device to give more wiggle room to your boots or sneakers.
Wooden shoe stretches, also known as shoe horns, can be found in shoe-repair shops and department stores. Simply insert it inside your tight footwear to make it work its magic. You’ll need to repeat the process over a few days for the material to expand successfully.
