3. Make Your Shoes Waterproof:
Make yourself unstoppable even in rainy season. Turn your normal sneakers into waterproof sneakers at home for free of cost.
To make this process successful you need a Candle (which can be found in every house) and a Hairdryer that’s it.
STEP 1: First remove the laces from the shoes.
STEP 2: Take a candle, rub it well around the shoes. After a while you will see pale wax stains on the shoes.
STEP 3: Now take a hair dryer and start blowing on the shoes. Blow with a hair dryer on the shoe at maximum speed until the wax melts and blends with the shoe.
Once the wax is mixed with the shoes, your work is done.
Now check with water whether the shoe has become waterproof.
4. Turn Your Shoes Slip-Rasistant:
Several times, after using slippers, sneakers I’ve noticed they start to loose the grip. As a result, it is not possible to walk properly in any slippery place or a steep slope.
Even most leather shoes come with a flat and smooth surface outsole so the chances of slipping are very high.
To get rid of this,
Take a sandpaper and start to rub it back and forth on the sole of the shoes. This will make the part of the shoe quite rough which will help you while walking on slippery place or a steep slope.
5. Use A Shoe Tree To Vanish Creases from shoes
After walking or running with new shoes for a couple of days, a few creases start to appear on the foldable part of the shoes which is very normal. As a result, the upper of the shoe also gets damaged and begins to look old.
To prevent this problem from occurring in your new sneakers start using Best Shoetrees in India in the shoes at the beginning when you are not wearing them.
(A shoetree helps your shoe to stretch out and keep your shoe in its orginal shape as well.)
*However, if your shoes already have creases, you can apply the following tip.
STEP 1: First, remove the laces from the shoe, then insert a few pairs of socks/ a shoe tree tightly inside the shoe. ( This will help maintain the shape of the shoe. )
STEP 2: Now take a dry towel and put it on the wrinkles areas. Spray some water on the towel or you can use a wet towel.
STEP 3: Gently press on the towel with an iron.
After using these Shoe Hacks for Creases, you will see that the creases have removed from the upper part of your shoes.
6. Loose The New Tight Shoes:
Almost everyone has faced this problem once after buying a pair of new shoes. Even after buying the proper sized shoes you can’t wear them with socks, they feel very tight. This condition can lead blisters on the feet after the first few days of using the shoe.
To get rid of this pain apply the following steps:
STEP 1: First put on a fluffy socks over the normal socks then put on your shoe.
STEP 2: Now start drying the shoe with a dryer for few minutes.
STEP 3: After drying for a while, take off the socks and you will see that your shoes are loose.
Many people often asked us that what are the shoe hacks for blisters or tell me some shoe hacks for tight shoes. So you asked for it, here we supplied.
7. Dry Your Wet Shoes 2X Faster Using Newspapers
It takes a lot of time to dry shoes normally, more then 7-8 hours. You may want to dry these using sunlight or a dryer but let me clear one thing, both of these can be harmful to your shoes.
Direct Sunlight can fade up the colour of your shoes and a dryer can damage the glue power of your shoes.
So instead of them you can try this shoe hack for wet shoes,
Take some old newspapers, wrap them and put them in wet shoes. Cover the area as much as possible.
Leave the shoe at room temperature overnight, the next morning you will see that the shoe is dry.
8. Highlight Your Shoe:
Hold the extra fabric at the end of the pants and fold it backwards. Now roll up it to a size of 1 inch, and roll up it once and lock it.
Here’s why i asked you to try this.
If the pants size is about ankle length or if you roll your pants, a gap will create between the shoe and the pants which highlights your shoe.
This will make your shoe style more beautiful.
9. Do This When The Aglet Of Shoelace Is Torn:
If the Aglet of your shoelace is damaged or torn then you need to try hard to insert it through the eyelets, here the following technique can help you a lot.
Note: If you use No-Tie Elastic Shoelaces for your shoes then you will never face this problem, you don’t even need to tie a knot to wear shoes.
To make this process successful you’ll need,
- A Duct Tape
- A Plastic Straw
- A Gas Lighter
- A Scissor
STEP 1: Roll the front of the shoe laces and then attach with a duct tape.
STEP 2: Now insert the rolled part inside a plastic straw and cut off the extra part.
STEP 3: With the help of a gas lighter, heat from a distance so that part of the straw sticks to the tape. Then let it dry for a while.
Then you can use the shoelace as before.
