Peel the potatoes and put them in your shoes. An unusual method will solve a painful problem in no time

It happens that they are made of natural leather and are uncomfortable and squeeze in the fingers. Fortunately, the problem can be solved by using an ordinary potato from the kitchen. Just peel two tubers, wash them thoroughly, press them into the toes of shoes and wait several hours – preferably overnight. In the morning, you’ll find that the vegetable juice has softened the stretched fabric, and your footwear is much more comfortable. The method also has an additional effect – it removes unpleasant odors that arise when feet sweat and wear shoes for a long time. After all, just take out the potatoes, wipe the inside with a damp cloth to remove the sediment and admire the effects.

Before using the method, remember that it will only work on natural leather and should not be used on artificial materials.
