One of the simplest and most effective methods for stretching leather shoes is using potatoes. Here’s how to do it: Start by peeling two potatoes, then place one in each shoe. Pushing them to the maximum, leave them to act overnight. Potato juice, rich in softening enzymes, will help soften and stretch the leather, making your shoes more comfortable.
Clean and refresh your shoes with potatoes
Besides their ability to stretch leather, potatoes can also be used to clean and remove bad odors from your shoes. To do this, cut a potato in half and rub the inner surface of the shoes with the pulp. This method effectively removes stains and dirt. After cleaning, wipe away excess juice with a soft cloth to reveal sparkling shoes that look almost new.
