Hi, i got board so i thought id put a pair of suade heels in the oven for half hour (as you do) and now they have shrunk a bit and are tight on my feet. If i soak them in hot wather and ware them will it stretcfh them back out again or is that a myth. Or is it just best to ware them in again?

I've boiled high heels in hot water and dried them in the oven on 350 degrees. They lost about a shoe size. Just ask my size 9 sister (I wear a size 8). lolol. Debbie
