Neat way to strech shoes at home for free

I just read about this and its amazing. If you have shoes which are a little too small, you can stretch them at home with the following method:

Fill a one quart freezer bag halfway with water (one bag per shoe). Make sure there’s no air in the bag (a teensy little bit is ok). For safety, I recommend placing that bag inside another bag. Now roll the bag longwise and place it into the shoe. It should not be so full of water as to not fit into the shoe, or not be able to fit into the toe area. If the inner bag is too full of water, take some out.

I recommend to jostle the shoe and tap the toe against a surface to try to get the bag to go as far in towards the toe as possible. Then put the shoe in the freezer. When the water freezes it will expand, causing the shoe to stretch. This process can be repeated if necessary.
