Besides the fact that they are indispensable in the kitchen, they have been used for centuries for a variety of practical household purposes. Some of these techniques are almost forgotten today, although they can be surprisingly effective,” the video notes.
The author of the video recommended using potatoes to break in new shoes that are too tight.
“Some people use damp newspapers, but this method is often ineffective because the paper crumbles easily. Potatoes are much stronger, hold their shape and don’t deform, even if your shoes are really tight,” said the life hacker.
How to use potatoes
Place two potatoes in your shoes and leave them overnight. During this time, the shoes will stretch and will not put pressure.
