Chanel Espadrilles Club!

#166
Whilst my espadrilles are in the freezer I am loving the idea of those espadrilles fitting comfortably on my feet. Times like these make me wish I had smaller feet. Too bad they run small and too bad I have bad luck with shoes. I guess I will have to leave them overnight in the freezer, and if no positive results I will have to take them to my local shoe repair. These along with three other pair of shoes, :Push:

I just have to ask...it's my nature. Why exactly are your shoes in the freezer? Are you trying to stretch them? Like with the baggies full of water stretching? I just bought a solid wood & metal shoe stretcher to use for tight shoes at home, plus I get NM to stretch them at the store if they are a tad snug. :smile:

I am trying to stretch them!!! It is so ridiculous of me as I've never tried this before. Apparently it works.... Ideally I just take all shoes to the repair shop but they are currently on these rodarte shoes and I don't want to continue to bother them with so much work.
Have you ever tried stretching your shoes in the freezer?

No, I just saw it when searching for shoe stretchers. I bought the shoe stretcher stuff and a shoe stretcher, but it was the wrong size (fit the shoe, but no way to get the back into the shoe) so I ordered a size smaller; it should arrive Saturday. :smile: I've never done it myself, so figured I'd do it the "right way" first with my good shoes. The freezer thing I would only try on shoes I didn't mind if they got messed up.

You think the espadrilles can get ruined in the freezer? Please don't say that as I am having a minor anxiety attack now.

I just took them out. I can't bare the thought that they might ruin or not even stretch. Yelp will help me find another reliable shoe repair locally. I do live in Hollywood so hopefully this shouldn't be too hard to fulfill.

There are many good ones; don't just rely on yelp. Ask at Neiman Marcus or Chanel or Dior and they will have great shoe repair referrals. I don't know who does it up in your area, but I have some names in OC. I'm so relieved to hear you took them out of the freezer!

Hi I have never thought of your idea and quite honest it's kind of funny but if it works for you Great! I do own a wood stretcher and they worked great for me, my stretchers are adjustable, basically you put them inside the shoes and opened them up little by little until your desire. HTH :smile:
