Imagine: you go to a sports store, to the winter sports department, try on skates - everything seems to be fine. You buy skates and go away with pleasure. We went to the skating rink - the legs hurt. It turns out that you forgot to fasten your skates when measuring, and now they are tight. Don't worry, there are several ways to stretch your skates.
Instructions
Step 1
Wet the inside of your skates with warm water, put them on and ride or walk around in them at home. Instead of warm water, you can also use alcohol, cologne, or vodka.
Step 2
Another way is to rub the inside of the skates with Vaseline. Spread it on, wait until it is absorbed - this will soften the material of the skates and allow it to stretch more easily. Along with this method, pre-kneading the material of the skates will also help a lot. Tap them gently with a hammer.
Step 3
For ordinary shoes, there are special foams for stretching the shoes and increasing their size. They can also help with skates. Foam your skates and wear them for a while. You can even go for a ride - the effect of the foam comes pretty quickly, and you will not be so painful.
Step 4
And another method that should be applied in the event that you have not achieved positive results from any of the above methods is a shoe repair service. They have metal pads in various sizes to stretch the shoe. And some services even have a special stretching device. Take your skates to a shoe service - this is the best way to keep things simpler without getting your skates wet or uncomfortable while wearing them. But it will naturally cost you some money. But the amount is usually not very significant.
