I’ve got thick legs and always struggle to make boots fit, then discovered a hack which helps in seconds

IF you’ve got chunky legs, you’ll know the frustration of not being able to find boots that fit.

But one woman who grew tired of that struggle came up with a genius hack to make any boot fit in seconds.

Alecsa always struggles to make boots fit her wide calves, with these Diesel ones causing a particular problemTikTok/@alecsagrace

But she discovered that if she heats up the fabric of the boot and the zip with a hairdryer, it’s so much easier to do upTikTok/@alecsagrace

She then modelled the boots after managing to get them completely done upTikTok/@alecsagrace

Alecsa took to TikTok to share her clever trick, demonstrating with a pair of cream Diesel knee-high boots.

“Having thick calves and always struggling to wear knee high boots,” she wrote over the clip.

She managed to get the zip done up to just above the ankle, but then took her hairdryer and aimed the heat onto the fabric of the boots.

As she made the boots hotter, the fabric stretched more, and she was able to pull the zip up even further.
