INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure the bags are big enough so that they'll put pressure on the shoe when they expand in the freezer. When you seal the plastic bag up, remove any air from the inside of the bag. This will make it easier to mold the water inside the bag to the contour of your shoe. This method will involve placing your shoes in the freezer for an extended period of time, during which time they may get wet. Be sure that the shoes you are using with this method aren't irreplaceable or susceptible to water damage. Make sure that the seal is tightly locked. You don't want your shoes covered in ice when you remove them from the freezer. Your shoes should contain a smaller plastic bag inside the cavity and a larger one protecting it from outside moisture. When the water inside the shoe freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the cavity in the shoe and breaking them in. The advantage of using water as opposed to a shoe stretcher is that the water will adjust to the contours of the inside of your shoe perfectly. The water filled baggies should now be solid ice. You may have to wait a few minutes in order to slide them out easier. Once the shoes have warmed up a bit, try walking in them and even running and jogging in them if they are athletic shoes.

SUMMARY: Fill up two sandwich bags halfway full of water. Place one of the baggies in each shoe. Put the shoes in a bigger, sealed plastic bag and place into freezer. Wait 3 to 4 hours. Take the shoes out of the freezer. Take the baggies out of your shoe. Try on your shoes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When your snake begins shedding, you'll notice flakes of skin beginning to come off. During this time, add a warm basin of water to your snake's cage. You can help your snake shed by placing a basin of warm water inside its enclosure. Your snake will be able to bath in the water, allowing its skin to come off more easily. Pick a basin that is big enough to hold your snake's entire body. Add enough water that your snake can get its entire body wet. However, do not add so much water that your snake will be submerged under water when it enters the basin. Snakes can also rub skin off by crawling over coarse material. Uneven materials, like tree branches and stones, can be very helpful to shedding snakes. You can also use patches of tree bark, pine cones, and other coarse materials you find outside. If your snake is rubbing its nose against objects in the cage, it is trying to get its skin off during the shedding process. If you notice your snake doing this, it is particularly important that you add coarse materials to your snake's cage. If your snake is struggling to shed on its own, you may have to assist. Get several layers of paper towels damp. Then, remove your snake from its shed and place it between the towels. Allow your snake to crawl and squirm between the towels. The combination of humidity and friction should help remove excess skin. After your snake completes shedding, you will notice excess skin throughout the cage. Skin may appear in small, crumpled piles. It may also be in dry and tube like sections throughout the cage. Remove any excess skin from the cage after your snake finishes shedding. Snakes frequently defecate after the shedding process. Use gloves when cleaning the cage, as you may have to pick up fecal matter as well. Snakes often consume large quantities of water after shedding. Keep an eye on your snake's water dish. Make sure you refill it frequently after your snake finishes shedding. It is not unusual that you will find yourself refilling the water dish more than usual in the days following a shed.

SUMMARY: Place a basin of warm water in your snake's aquarium. Add coarse materials to the snake's container. Put your snake between several layers of paper towels. Clean the cage after shedding. Provide extra water.
