Trying the sandal trick

So, I'm trying the sandal trick today.  I'll let you know if it works!  (a few days ago I posted a suggestion that someone gave me in the store about how to shrink leather sandals when they dry out).

Leather Sandals

During the spring, summer, and fall, I love to wear slide style sandals.  This summer I started wearing what I grew up calling thongs, where they go between your toe.  Anyways, I was standing in Marshalls looking at the plastic sandals and pondering what you do when they stretch out.  So, I asked the lady next to me who was wearing sandals.  

She had this suggestion, which she said always works.  If they're leather, get them wet and then stick them out in the hot sun.  The leather will shrink back up.  Obviously, it will stretch out again, but then you just shrink them again too!  

I have 2 pairs of leather Doc Marten sandals and I'm going to try out this trick as soon as we have a hot sunny day =)
