    Yes, you should be able to stretch them about half a size.
  • Question
    How long do I need to stretch my shoes with ice, and do I need to repeat it every time I wear them?
    Community Answer
    Leave the shoes in the freezer for 6-8 hours or overnight. Repeat as needed for a perfect fit.
  • Question
    If water is bulging out of the shoe, will it stretch them too much?
    Community Answer
    If you're referring to a pair of heels, for instance, it might stretch them more than you would like. You can always do a second or third round to achieve your desired fit, so don't overfill the bag on the first try just in case!
  • Question
    Will this method work for patent shoes?
    Community Answer
    Personally, I wouldn't trust it. Because of the plastic-like smooth finish, you may risk ruining the overall look of the exterior. It will most likely cause dullness in areas where it stretches, and may even cause micro tears if it stretches too much. But if they're cheap and you're doing it for a concert/event, you should just go for it!
