Stretching the Ankle of Tight Sneakers?

How do I stretch these new sneakers that come all the way up to the ankle and are causing me a friction burn on my ankle? These are Easy Spirit sneakers - which fit well, but I don't know how to stretch only at the ankle area.

Many moons ago, I posted a tip here on Thriftyfun on how to stretch shoes. This will work on your sneakers too.

After you apply the solution, put something quite large in there to help stretch them and leave them like that until the alcohol/water solution dries.

I bought a pair of booties that are so cute but as usual the right foot hurts. My pinky toe feels like it's been quished. I put 1/4 alcohol and 1/4 water in a spray bottle and sprayed the inside of the bootie really good and put it on. I kept the bootie on for half an hour but during that time I wiggled my toes the whole time.

The bootie still needed some more stretching so I sprayed it again and stuffed some heavy socks inside the bootie. I just checked it and it is loosening up. I will check it again maybe tomorrow and see if it has loosened up some more. It appears to be working but it's a process.

You can put a plastic bag in the sneaker and fill it with water. Seal it well, put it in the freezer. The water will expand and stretch out the ankle.

I usually put a bigger sized container or like a shampoo , wine bottle or something that will be bigger to stretch the ankle part. Good luck!
