Most of the potato dishes are native Russian. This vegetable is very popular with us and is included in most domestic recipes.
Potatoes have always been one of the most affordable foods. But not many people know that this vegetable is widely used not only in cooking. Many people regularly put potatoes inside their shoes. Today I will tell you in detail what this method is used for.
Stretching shoes is easy
It often happens that it is very uncomfortable to walk in new shoes. Calluses appear on the legs due to discomfort. And I don't want to part with new shoes at all.
How to act in such a situation? There is one trick you can do that will completely fix your problem.
It will be enough to put the potatoes in a tight pair of shoes for one night. The vegetable contains a large amount of moisture, which can stretch even the most dense material. The very next morning, your new shoes will fit just right.
Getting rid of the problem correctly
You only need 2 potatoes to get your shoes in shape. It is necessary to clean them well and wrap them in a thin layer of toilet paper.
We put one potato in each shoe. For a more effective result, a pair of shoes should be wrapped in a tight bag.
Potatoes will not only stretch your shoes, but also remove all unpleasant odors. It should be noted that this method will only work with leather shoes.
Folk tricks
A friend of mine once bought a pair of leather boots. And they turned out to be small for her. It was impossible to return the shoes to the store, and the friend resorted to one trick. She took the cheapest perfume and poured it into each boot. After a couple of hours, the boots stretched out and stopped causing discomfort to the legs.
You can also stretch shoes with hot water. Each shoe will need to be immersed in boiling water for a couple of seconds. After that, the shoes should be cooled and worn out. After repeating these manipulations several times, you will be pleasantly surprised with the result.
What you should pay attention to
All these tricks work only with genuine leather shoes. Plastics will need to be returned to the store. The potato method won't help here. In order not to say goodbye to your favorite shoes, you can put on warm socks and wear them around the house. The initial result will depend on the density of the material.
