I just signed up for my first league today, the first game starts in 2 days, I already had boots but when I went to the store to grab for guards and socks they had my fav vapours on for less then half and it was left over stock. They were half a size too big but for the price I couldnt turn them down.

Is there any tips or tricks I can do to kinda shrink them a bit, make them conform to my foot more.

I'm gonna wear them around the house for a bit, I heard maybe wearing them in the shower for a few mins??????


Help me out guys.

Thanks
Greg

i dont think the shower will really do nething for a synthetc...acually i dont think a synthetic will shrink at all...i could be wrong

no chance of schrinking at all. Dont even try in my opinion. Shouldve just gotten them exact fit. BUt frome xperience they dont shrink- oyull need a smaller size

heres somthing i dont think nyones ever tried before, if ur willing to experiment

het them so hot that the synthetic becomes maliable...like almost melt them

it sounds dumb, but ther too big, uv got nothing better to do with them


just out of curiousity: what size are they and what did u pay?

They are size 13US, got them for $65Canadian
I really could have used a 12 1/2 or 12.
But for the price I couldnt turn them down, floor model, last ones. I'll just wear a thick socks, there not extremely big, I'll deal with them

i dont know how this might be in terms of comfort with the vapor, but try putting in an extra insole. i do this with my gym shoes sometimes if they are little loose.

well you know how to make anything shrink (tongue.gif) soak them in cold water. that should do something, and then wear a sport sock and a football sock. if still to big, ^^^ put in another insole.

Sneak them into chem class, put on your boots, and hold your feet above the bunsen! Make sure you have the blue flame though! If you have the yellow one, a carbon deposit will occur.

Just kidding. Just wear them synthetics in. Innersoles work, extra soles work, tissue in the toe works. Just play around and see what works best.

try also using those shin guards with ankle guards attatched, they might take up some spaces

btw where did you get them from? a store or online? what colour? and any pics? haha sorry for all the questions

Yea I'll prolly just try a few different options now, thanks for the answers.

As for the boots them, I got them from a local store. They are last years vapours the dark red/maroon coloured ones.

He only had this one size left so he marked them down to get rid of them

im guna try the thicker sock underneath and sorbothane insoles in my vapors because i think they will be slightly too big

wearing a thicker sock is an option but it does kinda destroy the whole purpose of even wearing vapors.

yea btw dont wear ancle guards they are very uncophy and will limit your movement specially on elasticos.

Will hot water work? I use hot water on gum shield to mold it into my mouth so, will it work on synthetic Vapors?
