And There you go ! Thanks to this trick, you have softened your too tight leather shoes :-)

Easy, fast and efficient, right?

The leather is softened and no longer hurts you. And all this without going through the cobbler box.

Keep the shoe well until the cotton is dry. Me, I put it on in the morning and I keep it on all morning.

Do this 2 or 3 times, until the leather takes the shape of your foot. Afterwards, you will definitely be at peace.

This tip works for shoes, boots, pumps, strappy sandals, and safety shoes.

Why does it work?

The alcohol moistens the leather without damaging it and relaxes it very slightly.

The cotton creates a small bump just where it hurts, much like the shoemaker's lasts that expand leather.

You'll never hurt this place again.

And it works on leather and faux leather.
