When a shoe-lover finds a bargain pair they love, it can be heartbreaking to realize it’s not available in the right size. Sometimes a favorite pair of shoes can become stretched over time, making them feel too big. Fortunately, shoe repair is a solution for both of these scenarios, and there are many ways a professional shoe repair service can help.

How a Shoe Repair Service Can Fix Shoes That Are Too Big

They Can Match You With the Right Inserts

Orthotics are available to put into your shoes, but many raise your foot and make the shoe tighter without addressing the problem. There are some inserts, however, that are specially designed to close the gap between your toes and the front of the shoe. A shoe repair professional can measure your feet and help you find the right inserts to eliminate uncomfortable gaps.

They Can Alter Your Shoes

If you have different sized feet, finding a properly sized pair can be a challenge. A professional can measure both feet and permanently adjust your shoes for a perfect fit. This could cost more than inserts, but it will likely be a longer-lasting and more comfortable solution. Depending on the material of your shoe, it also might not be possible to alter a shoe’s size. A professional will examine the shoe and your measurements to determine whether alterations or orthotics are the best solution.
