How To Fix Tightened (Shrunk) Rubber/Crocs Shoes


There are chances that your rubber-material made shoes will be suddenly tightened due to: being left in hot environment(car), washed in the dishwasher or left exposed in the sun for some time.

How To Fix Tightened (Shrunk) Rubber/Crocs Shoes:

 

First, put the shoes in hot/boiling water for under 1 minute, then put your feet in them (make sure when you can stand the heat) immediately and then wear them for awhile.

Hot water helps loosen the material and by wearing them for awhile after boiling, helps re-mold to shoes to fit your feet again by stretching them out.  If the shoes are too tight, you may need a pair of thick socks to your feet before putting them in the shoes so they'll stretch better.


Some people also place their rubber shoes in the clothes dryer (with some towels, for 2-3 minutes), or using a hot hair dryer to point at them for several minutes.These are "hot" methods as well, to remold the tightened shoes, some work, some don't depend on your luck but make sure to keep your shoes in cool, shady places when they’re not worn. 

On the contrary, you can also fix your oversized Rubber/Crocs Shoes by putting them in hot water and wear them right away and try to squeeze them to fit your feet.

Good luck!
