Stretching Leather Clogs |
|
|
I have several pairs of new leather clogs/mules that I bought on line. Is there a way I can stretch them myself, or do I have to take them to a shoemaker? I want to wear socks with some of them and could use a little extra room. Thanks for your help.

What I do, is take a ziplock freezer bag, place inside of the individual shoe. Fill with water, seal bag. Repeat for other shoe. Place in deep reezer overnight. The water will freeze, stretch the leather 1/2 size. Works everytime for me! Editor's Note: Make sure to leave some room in the top for expansion.

Completely saturate a pair of cotton socks with rubbing alcohol and slip on your shoes...Wear the shoes until the socks are dry...

I use to work at a VERY $ leather good store on 5th aenue in New York City, and we would moistenthe inside of the shoe, with a spray bottle, and then pack the shoe TIGHTLY with balled up newspaper, till the shoe was dry. You might want to do this several times. Good luck! Jill(

You might try saturating the inside of your shoes with alcohol and wearing them until they are dry. They should conform to your foot a lot better.

Shoe stores also sell a spray called "shoe stretch" that you spray inside the shoe. I spray it and then put on my shoe and let the leather conform to my foot, so much more comfortable. I also have a wooden foot with attachable callus spots, you can stretch shoes with that. It is wonderful especially for men's dress shoes. Jill

Visit the shoe repair store. There is a product sold at most stores that you can rub onto the leather before you wear the shoes and it somehow softens the shoes while you wear them or have them on shoe trees. Good quality shoe trees are a good investment.
