The effect comes faster, but you should take into account the aggressive effect of alcohol on the material of the shoe and try to prevent the paint and decorative elements from being damaged.
- Night Stretch. After wearing wool socks, leave them in shoes, tightly fill with crumpled paper, other socks or something else. As such, let the shoes stand night.
- Mechanical Softening. If the backdrop in shoes is very rough, you can soften it by mechanical action with a hammer or pliers. In order not to spoil the appearance of the material, a hammer is tapped through the fabric. This should be done until the backdrop is soft enough.
