Getting shoes stretched in the Limerick area

    I bought a pair of heels today, and I only tried on one shoe in the shop (stupid, I know.) When I got home I realised that one shoe was a little bit small. As they were the last size there I was just wondering does anybody know whether you can get shoes stretched in the limerick city area? Thanks!

    Fill a freezer bag with enough water to fill your shoe, make sure the bag is completely sealed, put the bag in the shoe, put the shoe in the freezer overnight & it will strech the shoe! I have tried this with a leather shoe & it worked prefectly.

    If you have a few days before you need them, wear them around the house with thick socks.

    What the hell!!! That's the greatest idea I've ever come across to solve any issue not just shoes. That's amazing.

    I never tried it on boots but sure, why not?

    second thoughts about the boots; you probably would have to lie the boots down to fit in the freezer, would imagine they would stick to the frost, maybe try laying them on paper in the freezer
