Thanks a bunch...the blow dryer shrinking method worked like a charm!

[@user-pq9ve5vz8l]

Thank you so much!! Boiled in the hot water is magic! I get my precise size!

[@cleanerdblog]

Amazing! Happy to hear it helped

[@Supermario_br18]

How much time did you boil them ?

[@rohravind]

Thank you, this really helped. I tried the oven method and it worked the best for me. I was disappointed that the size was large and there was no chance for me to exchange and return the product. I came across this video and it helped. Thanks a lot for uploading this video and sharing the step by step instructions.

[@PotooBurd]

This is so informative!!! Fantastic explanation ; I enjoy this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝

[@cleanerdblog]

Thanks!

[@senpai_cj2217]

I was very skeptical about this but tried it out bc i had a size 13 instead of a 11.. it worked like a charm! Thank you so much (the tumbler dryer is the best)

[@Nefrightt]

Thanks I was having a hard time deciding which method to choose and I have size 13 crocs too I’ll try the tumble dryer 🙏

[@Un1verses_]

This definitely worked, I did it 3 times and got the perfect fit. However it's worth mentioning, THE GRIP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CROCS WILL BECOME SMOOTHER FROM WALKING IN THEM WHILE HOT, or maybe even from just being heated overall.

[@cleanerdblog]

Thanks for sharing!

[@opossozoku8005]

I have my pair in my car and one of em shrunk. Can't wait to try to fix it

[@biondisubbaiah]

I left mine in the sun & it shrunk 😅, i was pissed until i watched ur vid, let's hope it works fingers crossed 🤞

[@waahhwaahh]

did it work?

[@bigpp5940]

great video! what method would you recommend to shrink my yukon crocs? it has a suede part and dont want to damage it

[@knightwingx7473]

Because you haven't received a reply, I would recommend using a hair dryer to concentrate heat on only the part you want to shrink and avoid hitting the suede, thus being able to shrink where you want.

[@shanmango]

Is it possible to use these methods to reduce the toe spring?

[@vokhang1857]

Hey bro, did they get back to normal size like before ?

[@pro-lapser]

Which method will be better if my shoes (they are a pair of Foam Runner knock-offs, I've heard they work the same as crocs) are only like half a size bigger? So I don't really want them to shrink too much

[@rocketserver]

Do you think this will work for Adidas yeezy slides and foam runners ?

[@Mateo-uj1hr]

Would this work with lightning McQueen crocs they have lights and they are to snug, they are size 11

[@monae3978]

Hi - How do you shrink down by just one size as in from a 7 to a 6? I’m going to try the over method on glitter crocs so wondering how many minutes to leave them in the oven? Thanks in advance 😁

[@angel0fangelsangel504]

Can we use this method in double strap crush crocs with platform heels?

[@NaeSMR1111]

Did you try it?! I just got my mega crush crocs delivered today & I’ll need to stretch them😅

[@user-bv6gd5hz2l]

If the length is good on my Dylan crocs, but they are too wide at the top, which method should I use?

[@mateoesparza8820]

Mine didn’t work at all when I did the dryer method should I try a different one. They didn’t change one bit.

[@charleo11]

i have adidas adilette clogs and looks similar to crocs model. material are same either. i have issues that those fits are to snug on the middle body. the length are no issues. but the body are too snug. what should i do to make those fits more looser?

[@thatgurlsoph]

I know this is an old comment, but I would recommend using a hair dryer and direct it only on the middle body.

[@robynandrews8206]

Do you think these methods could work on my platform crocs?

[@cleanerdblog]

I think it will, as it's essentially the same as classic crocs, just with elevated wedge. However be mindful about not overheating to retain their true shape

[@micabuennn]

Hi, my crocs is a bit smaller and I want to use the hair dryer method

[@stephanieredden8861]

Did it work? I would love any advice.

[@redplays5990]

will my crocs break or look diffrent after shrinking them?

[@dayday_13]

If I’m in between 2 sizes, would it be better to buy the larger size and shrink or buy the smaller ones and then stretch them?

[@cleanerdblog]

Hey, in your case I would recommend getting a larger size and heating them up to shrink. While they are warm and pliable it's not a bad idea to still do the unshrinking steps to reshape and stretch them back just enough. Wearing 1 - 2 pairs of socks should be just fine. Let me know how it goes!

[@azzi40]

Hello. Please, will it reduce my crocs which is a bit bigger? Thanks

[@Un1verses_]

Yes, it works both ways (stretching larger, or shrinking smaller), I downsized decently with this.

[@cleanerdblog]

Correct, works perfectly on classic crocs

[@ihategooogle]

I regret dipping mine in the boiling water. It's all deformed now. Once it shrinks you can never get its original length back without messing up the shape. All I wanted was an inch of space in the toe box area. Should have only tried the freezing method.

[@lancelot365e]

Boiling is too hot

[@ihategooogle]

@@lancelot365eI did turn off the heat & wait for the water to cool down a bit. Thing is, you really need the water to be hot, otherwise the clog won't be pliable

[@angelopascual4736]

how many centimeters will it shrink if i left it u der the sun?

[@PeriwinkleBluetag]

A lot so don’t forget them. I left mine out too long and they shrunk too much.

[@igotbusybees]

I want my crocs to stretch not shrink 😭

[@knightwingx7473]

Then concentrate a blow dryer on the toes section and stretch them immediately while hot without shrinking the length.

[@monae3978]

Sadly just ruined my new crocs using the oven method - completely burned the sole 🥲

[@tifftiff9521]

oh noooo. did u use the other methods first ? or you thought yes the Oven seems the safest option 😭
