damp newspaper shove it in really tight and leave to dry overnite!
Reply:Well it depends , you can put rubbing alchol inside the shoe where you know they are kinda of tight,well just put a sock on (not when wearing) pour the alchol and walk around in your house for a few minutes that should do the trick i know thats what i do all the time and it works perfect....

Reply:I caught an interview on tv of some runway models or beauty pagent contestants, I can't remember which...anyhow, one of them said that for a tight shoe, heat it up with a hair dryer. The heat will cause the shoe to expand. Not sure if you need to do this with your foot inside the shoe or not, but you could try to see what works best.
Reply:newspaper put it in your shoes very tight
Reply:thats a big difference your trying to create. i dont think its possible to gain that much, but try a shoe stretcher spray...they are cheap. why not a shoe strtcher?
Reply:Fill a ziplock bag with water, put it in your shoe and put the shoe in the freezer overnight. It works!
