I tried the water to ice method, didn't seem to work, the shoes seemed to have shrunk. The socks and blow dryer worked like a charm though, but that was some torture wearing 2 pairs of socks 😅

[@cmrdecc6516]

Hehehaha thats meee

[@hearthrose8285]

Thanks Lauren!

[@wesleywilson7328]

“Most ghetto to least ghetto” girl I just feel in love with you! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@Timetravel1111]

3 Ghetto ways to stretch your shoes lol.

[@aisha2luv464]

You are hilarious 😂I subscribed because you got me cracking up!!!!

[@lindamaturesass]

Thanks Lauren. As one of those giant footed peeps, hahahaha I needed these tips. I have a wide width. TFS :-)

[@jenniestein]

You are fabulous!

[@micaelawedge]

I've never thought to stretch shoes. That might be handy for pointy shoes which I never buy because I've never warn a pair that didn't kill my feet in the toe area. My feet just don't work with those type of shoes. Maybe stretching?

[@mirandaosmelak480]

The reason why your second trick does not work that well is because you have to wait until shoes cool down so they do not strech back:) PS. I don't have any shoes to stretch, I know the tricks already, I am watching just because I like your energy:D take it as a highest compliment:)

[@erina.francis5627]

May you review the Forme' shoe shaper/widener? :-)

[@n.snoozzz9377]

Wow learned about a Cobbler!

[@user-gh8sl7iu3y]

You made my morning…all the cute items on the wall behind you, none of which look “ghetto”

[@Cantetinza17]

I have jimmy choo peep toe shoes and I have wide feet, so it's a little snug in the width, but perfect at the length. I have a spray that I'm going to try first. If it still doesn't work then, I'll take mine to the cobbler. My mom did the fold over bag as well. I guess the ziploc was too expensive.

[@kimmiearcher8401]

You should be a stand-up comedian you are so funny you have me cracking up

[@countrygirl4422]

You can buy professional shoe stretching spray to use with the shoe stretcher.

[@SBrown_Cherry]

Will the freezing work on leather shoes / boots as well ??

[@ramdaniouafaa9781]

Thanks a lot Lauren.

[@beautifuldreama8714]

Where’s the shoe from? Would like to buy one

[@dorothywhalen2983]

When you put the shoes in the freezer, do you put them in a plastic bag as well? I have a pair of flats that are brand new and hard leather.

[@rickybrown4745]

Great! ❓What inserts do you use when shoe 👠 is TOO BIG❓pls. Thank you 😊

[@margarette13]

Thx for this cuz I ordered a Mary Jane shoes size 38 but they give me size 35 which impossible to fit my shoes

[@Timetravel1111]

3:03 I have that stretcher yet it’s not angle 📐 right. It’s fairly strait and can’t get into the front of the shoe 👠!!

[@Williamhaokip28]

Ok

[@armenchiky]

Give you suggestion as a shoe repair, carefull with hair blower, dry heat will unglue your shoes.

[@Timetravel1111]

Ohh 😮 Nooo yup good point.

[@jasmineburgess9029]

“I didn’t know that they came in different sizes, so I got size Giant Foot” 💀😭😭😭😭 she’s too funny

[@Melons-vg8dq]

The heat really works well on PU and rubber. I shove a can in the shoe and blow heat.

[@Pajvlogs]

Love the ghetto tips Lauren! 😅

[@NevadaScrubJay]

Try getting shoes wet and then wearing them... I get a spray bottle and fill it with just water to start... Wear them around the house or in the yard... If that is not quite enough, mix the water with plain alcohol in a 50/50 solution. If you can get a pair or thick socks on with the tight shoes/boots, all the better. It wont happen in ten minutes or even an hour. It takes time and lots of spray applications. But, in time, leather should conform to your foot like it is your own skin.

[@tinasamuels2596]

Most resourceful to least resourceful

[@beautifuldreama8714]

New subby!

[@VetOrDie]

The ice were expand in the opposite direction of the toes, thereby not causing any stretch. Path of these resistance.

[@dinapopecaten2454]

If using the zip lock with water, leave shoes frozen for at least 72 hours... your welcome😅😂😅

[@sb2025b]

Lauren: "Best option, take them to the Cobblers" Me: Least ghetto option it is. 😂

[@hypefine]

There’s a leather spray you can use with the crank tool that makes it loosen the leather. But you can only loosen the leather so much. If the shoe is too small, well it’s too small. Plus I don’t think you can stretch faux leather the same as real leather-I don’t waste money on faux though.

[@AS-ux3eg]

My faux leather heels I have owned for 7 years reading this comment 👀👁️👁️🙄

[@Cantetinza17]

I have the spray for the shoe. Yeah I notice it doesn't work that well on faux materials.

[@Timetravel1111]

My shoes are vintage I beat bring them IN- to the shoe repair peeps.

[@valentinagomez9240]

shes funny as hell lmao

[@mahtab998]

Can cobbler loos my Gucci Canvas GG Guccissima ??😢😢

[@EkimSub]

wanna do the socks in shoes with the blow dry trick but i have one, i'm thinking 💡💡of putting it in sun lol guys should i⁉❓❓

[@Aisaiah61]

Haha “I got size giant foot!” Too funny girl!

[@navytackedbay]

I’m not even here for shoes I’m trying to stretch out my boots for riding 💀

[@ashanteharrell9230]

The fold over sh*t way cheaper 🤣

[@wendywilliams3962]

You are freakin adorable.

[@kendrapyke8940]

Double bagged my water and it still broke in my shoes... both of them sopping wet. Oh well... now wearing with big socks so they don' shrink!! Hoping they socks and wet shoes will do the job. If not, I'll take to a show man or back to Nordstrom.

[@lynnescaddan8919]

I'll have a go with the ziplock trick thank you.

[@raven-wolf9252]

Whats a cobbler????

[@dapadon88]

[@Penandpaper7762]

Big Giant foot took me away 😀😃😆

[@terriwest5269]

That don’t work I took to the shoe repair store it’s the same I brought the shoe stretcher that don’t work I will truthfully the water

[@lee-anneduffy4618]

Okay but do these actually work?? And does anyone have evidence??

[@amandab8086]

The sock one worked fine on my leather character shoes but I was only trying to take them like a half size up don’t know if it’ll stretch them any further

[@queeno5981]

What ghetto don’t make sense if u doing tips

[@user-rq9wf4qz4j]

Would've been much better if you didn't think you was good to demonstrate your own ideals.

[@m.l.r9139]
