Sometimes, we buy
Air Max trainers that are a little bit tighter when we wear them, and we end up thinking of the way out so as not to give them out or make them useless even when we love them so much. Sometimes, it can be because we've had the trainer for some time, so it is already tight on us.
Use of Dryer and Thick Socks
Steps to follow when using a dryer and thick sock;
- 1. Wear a pair of thick socks with the right trainer.
- 2. Locate the tight areas and apply a blowing dryer to the tight areas for few seconds, maybe for 20 to 30 seconds.
You don't have to put the dryer in one place when applying it to the tight areas because it can make those areas to be too hot and can cause damage to the trainer and most likely hurt your leg too when the areas are too hot. So, to avoid that, always make sure that the hairdryer is always in motion when applying it.When you are through with these steps, it is advisable to use a leather balm to moisturize it or any leather moisturizer you can find around you.
