How To Stretch Shoes Overnight? [3 Quick Ways]

To stretch your shoes overnight, you should wear them all day long to allow your feet to slowly expand and mold to their new shape and size over time. If you want to stretch your shoes as quickly as possible, you should also put on an old pair of tennis shoes and use them to walk around in the shoes that need stretching so that your feet will expand into both pairs of shoes simultaneously.

The following article will provide you with more tips on how to stretch shoes overnight and much more!

Why Stretch Your Shoes Overnight?

It would help if you stretched your shoes overnight to ensure that the fit becomes perfect. We all know that new shoes will not look the same after some time. Every step you take widens the gap between your toes and the toe-box.

To ensure a perfect fit, buy a half-size more than your usual size. During the first use, you should wear them for an extra-long walk. You should keep your feet in the shoes for a more extended period once the shoes are worn and stretch your shoes overnight.

3 Ways On How To Stretch Shoes Overnight

Are you a woman with tiny feet but can’t find the shoe size you need? If so, you understand the problems of having a shoe that doesn’t fit properly. Most women do have this problem. But this situation can be easily corrected with a shoe stretcher. This article is so about 3 ways how to stretch shoes overnight by yourself.

Method 1: Stretch Shoes Overnight In The Freezer

If you’re in a hurry to stretch your shoes overnight, use the freezer. It’s easy, but it’s not guaranteed to work.

1. Stuff your shoes with damp newspaper or plastic bags.
2. Place the stuffed shoes inside two freezer bags, and seal them shut.
3. Put the shoes into your freezer and let them sit overnight.
4. Remove the shoes from the freezer, but leave them in their bags until they thaw completely. They should be back to room temperature within a few hours.

Method 2: Stretch Shoes Overnight With Socks And Blow Dryer

1. Put on a pair of thick socks. Go for the thickest pair you can find. Sliding your feet directly into the shoes will stretch them out, but not as efficiently as while wearing thick socks.
2. Slide your feet into the shoes. The socks will help protect your feet from the blow dryer’s heat and make it easier to slide your feet into the shoes.
3. Set your blow dryer to medium heat and high speed. This is the ideal setting for stretching out a pair of leather or suede shoes without causing damage to them. If you don’t have a hairdryer readily available, you can use an electric fan instead by setting it at medium speed and pointing it at your shoes throughout the night.
4. Point the blow dryer at your shoe for 10 minutes on each side. You may have to hold one hand over each shoe to keep them in place while you do this with one hand.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your shoes feel more comfortable on your feet.

Method 3: Stretch Shoes Overnight With A Shoe Stretching Kit

1. Purchase a shoe stretching kit.
2. Place the shoes you want to stretch on your feet.
3. Put on a pair of socks if you are stretching tight shoes.
4. Spray the stretching solution on the areas of your shoes that are too tight or uncomfortable. You can also spray the solution directly onto your socks if you opt to wear them during this process.
5. Wear the stretched shoes around your house for several hours or overnight, allowing the solution to expand and soften your shoes as it dries.
6. Remove any excess solution from the stretched shoes with a damp cloth before putting them away or wearing them outside your home.

How To Stretch Leather Shoes Overnight?

The leather stretch shoe method that I will share is the wet sock method. This is a pretty standard way to stretch leather shoes overnight. This method is probably the most popular and most used, so it is first on this list.

To use this method, you will need:

* A pair of cotton socks

* A spray bottle with water in it

Steps:

1. Spray the inside of your shoes with water until they are pretty damp.
2. Put on your cotton socks and then your wet shoes. Make sure you push down into the shoes as you put them on to fit tight. You want them to get as much contact with your feet as possible.
3. Now, leave your shoes on for about three hours or until dehydrated. When you take off your shoes, you should notice that they have stretched because of the moisture from wearing them while wet!

How To Stretch Suede Boots Overnight?

1. Wet the suede boots in warm water.
2. Once wet, put on a pair of thick socks and then the boots.
3. Wear the boots around the house for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the boots and socks and stuff the boots with newspaper to help them keep their shape as they dry.
5. Allow them to dry overnight and repeat as necessary until the desired fit is achieved.

How To Stretch Leather Boots Overnight?

If you have some new leather boots and feel a little tight, don’t worry! You can stretch them to fit your feet ideally overnight.

Here’s what you need:

* A little bit of water

* A pair of new leather boots (or any other shoes that need stretching)

* Some towels

Here’s what you do:

1. Put on a pair of wool socks or other thick socks. Fill one of the socks with about half a cup of water, and put it in the freezer. Make sure it’s completely frozen before moving on to the next step.
2. Put the other sock on your foot, and wear them both in the boot until the frozen sock has melted completely. This may take an hour or more—don’t rush it! It’ll be worth it when you have a pair of boots that fit like a glove.
3. After the water has melted completely, take off your boots and wipe off any excess moisture with a towel. Now they’re ready to wear!
