I am going to show you how you can successfully follow the steps to make sure that you do it properly.

How to expand small Crocs

Wearing thick socks

Out of all the methods I mentioned, making use of thick socks is the easiest and the one that takes the most time to be effective.

This method is not stressful at all and it does not require too much effort from you. If you have made up your mind that this is the method you want to use, the first thing you need to do is that you need to get about five pairs of very thick socks and then you get your Crocs that seem too small.

Wear the thick socks and then put on the Crocs for the first days that you bought it for about 3 hours or more. Just like I mentioned earlier, this method is the easiest but takes more time to be effective, so do not expect it to happen immediately.

After doing this consistently for about a week or more, you will start to notice some changes in your Crocs that seem too small for you. It will start to stretch with time.

Heating in the hairdryer

This is another method that you can use but your Crocs is too small for you. What you need to do at first is that you should get a very good quality hairdryer and turn it on, let it get to the highest heat.

The next thing you need to do is to wrap a towel around the Crocs so that the heat is evenly distributed around the shoe. Apply the heat of the dryer to the Crocs and watch what happens to the material of the Crocs.

When you have done this, the next thing you need to do is that you should stop heating the Crocs when they are a bit flexible and warm, immediately wear thick socks in them for about five minutes and stroll around in them.

After doing this, remove the socks and try the Crocs on and see if it has expanded. It should expand and become your size. However, if you notice that nothing has changed about the size, what you need to do is that you need to repeat the method again.

This time you have to hear the Crocs with the hairdryer for about five minutes, wear the socks when it is flexible and warm, and then take it out again and try it on to see if it’s your size. This should work perfectly.

This method is not as easy as that of the thick socks method, but the good thing is that it is faster and you are going to see the results immediately.

However, the first method I made mention of is the method of making use of the thick socks, you do not see the results immediately. You will have to be patient.

If you want something fast, go for the hairdryer method, if you are not in a hurry, you can go with the thick socks method.

Dipping in hot water

This method will take some time as well, but the good thing is that the result is fast, unlike that of the thick socks method. To make use of the hot water method, what you need to do is to first of all boil water in a big pot that can contain your Crocs.

When the water is so hot, the next thing you need to do is to dip your Crocs in the hot water. If the pot is small, you should get a bigger pot that can contain your Crocs. You should dip the Crocs in the hot water and leave it for about 1 minute.

If you want to see good results, you should leave it for about 1 minute, this is usually best. When the heat on the outer surface of your Crocs has reached a tolerable heat for your feet, then you can pour out the hot water.

After the hot water is out, you can try the Crocs on. If it is too hot, consider wearing thick socks that will help prevent your foot from being burnt due to the heat.

Wear thick socks in the Crocs for about 5 minutes. Walk around with it and use it to go on a stroll.

Taking your Crocs on a stroll for about five to ten minutes will yield a good result. After doing that, remove your socks and see how the Crocs have expanded.

After wearing the Crocs for several days this way, you will start to see changes.

Make use of shoe stretch spray

This method is quite simple to do, you just need to be patient a little for you to see the results. The result may not be so quick but you will definitely see it.

The shoe stretch spray is capable of stretching leather, fabric, and even vinyl. It will be possible for you to make use of this stretch spray to stretch your Crocs.

All you need to do is that you should first go and purchase your shoe stretch spray from your most preferred store.

When you have it with you, the next thing you should do is that you should spray it around the tight areas of the Crocs.

Why you are focusing on the tight areas is for the spray to have direct contact with the area that needs to be stretched. Direct contact will help it to be more effective.

Once you are done spraying on the exact area, you should stop. The next thing you should do is that you should try the Crocs on and make sure that you have it on for about five to ten minutes.

If you like, you can even take it on a stroll so that it will have its full effect. If you do not see any result on the first attempt, you should try it again with the same process.

Find a professional shoe repairer

If you do not want to try any of those methods that I have listed above, probably because you do not have the 5ime to do that, you do not have to worry so much, this is because there is another option for you.

You can actually find a professional shoe repairer, why I made mention of a professional shoe repairer is because they usually have all the professional tools and equipment that they can use to stretch your Crocs.

You do not need to worry about the method they are using, they have their tools and you should be able to trust them enough to get the job done correctly.

When they have used their tools to stretch your Crocs, you can then try it on and make sure that it has become your exact size. Once this is done you can wear the Crocs comfortably.

How to make sure you do not get a small-sized Crocs

It is very important that you do not get small-sized Crocs. As you continue to grow, your feet will outgrow it too quickly.

However, If you have already bought a small Crocs, which I suppose would have been by mistake or error, I am going to show you how you can avoid making this same mistake again.

I will show you the best ways to ensure that you do not get small-sized Crocs.

Take a look at some of the ways that you can follow to ensure you do not get a small Crocs:

• Wiggle room should the present
• Know your size

• Your Heels should rest securely

Wiggle room

The wiggle room is simply referred to as the toe space area. When you go to buy your Crocs, in order to make sure that you do not get small-sized Crocs, you should, first of all, try it on and check the toe area.

What you are looking for is enough space for you to be able to wiggle your toes. If this space is not there for you to comfortably wiggle or move your toes, you are going to end up buying Crocs that are too small for you.

When your Crocs have no space for you to wiggle your toes, it ends up being so tight and you are not going to feel comfortable at all. Especially if you want to wear the Crocs for a long period of time.

Know your size

Another important thing is for you to know your size. When you go out there to buy Crocs, ensure that you check your size and make sure that it is exactly the same thing as the size of the Crocs that you want to buy.

If you wear a size 9, ensure that you buy a size 9 Crocs and do not go for anything smaller than size 9. This will help you to not buy Crocs that are small-sized.

If you buy your exact size, it will save you a lot of stress.

Here is a table showing some of the sizes that are available.

US	EUROPE
4	36-37
4.5	 36.5
5	 37
5.5	37.5
6	38
6.5	38.5

With these, you should be able to know your shoe size in different locations.

The sides, top & arch area should hug your feet

When you go to purchase your Crocs, this is what you should be looking out for. Look out for the sides, the top, and also the arch area.

You should ensure that these sides and areas hug your feet. To hug your feet means that it should be fitted for you around your feet.

This will help ensure the Crocs is your exact size and it is not too small.

Your heel should rest securely

Your heel is another important thing that you need to look out for when buying Crocs. A good Crocs that fits you will have your heel resting securely on the heel area of the Crocs.

How you know the Crocs is too small for you is when your heel is falling out of it and touching the floor. Try the Crocs on, if the heel rests well & securely, then you should go for it.
