How to stretch your canvas shoes for a more comfortable fit

  1. Wear them around the house: One of the easiest ways to stretch out your canvas shoes is to wear them around the house. Put on a pair of thick socks and wear your shoes for a few hours each day until they start to feel more comfortable.
  2. Use a shoe stretcher: Shoe stretchers are available at many shoe repair shops and can be used to gently stretch out the toe box and sides of your canvas shoes. Insert the stretcher into the shoe and adjust it to the desired size, then leave it in place for a few hours or overnight.
  3. Use a stretching spray: Shoe stretching sprays can be sprayed on the inside of your canvas shoes to help them stretch out more quickly. Follow the instructions on the spray bottle carefully, as some sprays may need to be rinsed off after use.
  4. Freeze them: Fill a plastic bag with water and place it inside your canvas shoes. Place the shoes in the freezer overnight, and the water will expand as it freezes, stretching out the shoes. Remove the shoes from the freezer and let the ice thaw before removing the bag.

Remember to take your time when stretching out your canvas shoes and avoid any methods that could damage the shoes. With a bit of patience, you should be able to stretch out your shoes for a more comfortable fit.
