beta-fit super-shod bags

on a recent trip uptown to meet some halfbakers, I wore some new shoes that were a bit on the tight side. my second mistake!
by the time I got home, my feet were a bleeding mess, no kidding!

how I wished that I planned properly and had used these beta-fit super-shod bags just days earlier.

the bags come in two parts (two of each). an inner pocket made of low density polyethylene with which you line each new shoe. fill with water from the tap and seal up tight with one of those little wire things that you get with food bags. make sure that the pockets are properly sealed. then put each shoe into the outer pocket also made of a low density polyethylene. (from an ecological point of view, these pockets can be re-used either for their original purpose or for containing waste products or even as a poop-bag when walking the dog)

toss both bags into the freezer. leave for a few days to a week.

voila! nicely stretched shoes. cool!
