I just got a high heeled shoe and I need just one more hole on the strap. How do I make a hole on the strap?

I can't go a size up because it'll be to big it's only on one shoe one foot is smaller than the other

I just got a high heeled shoe and I need just one more hole on the strap. How do I make a hole on the strap?
I start by marking the hole and insterting a straight pin. I work the pin in a circle to widen the hole. Then I insert the latch. If the hole doesnt get big enough from the pin then I use something larger like a nail. It works everytime without ruining the strap of the shoe and without making the hole too big.
Reply:take a long needle, heat it, then poke it through. should go through nice and easy.
Reply:a little nail; try to get one that is the same size as the hole you have..tap it through..


it works ...I've done it myself


good luck!
Reply:to avoid much hassle, just bring your shoe to the cobbler and tell him that you need a hole on the strap. it's not expensive.... if not, most shoe shop would have the equipment to either enlarge the shoe(if enlarge-able) or puncture holes. so before you leave the shop after your purchase, you can also ask the shop assistant to do it for you.
Reply:lw had the right answer or the other guy too but if you are like me too lazy to go thru all that, take a meat fork and poke it thru the strap. lol it does work!
Reply:Just use a drill with a small drill bit to bore the hole where you think it should be.
Reply:If you really love the shoes - spend a few dollars and take to a cobbler and get it done correctly. Doing it yourself could mess them up!
Reply:Punch awl; or spend a buck and shoemaker
Reply:My mom always used to take a skinny like ice pick you would use for the ice in the freezer and stuck it on the strap where the extra hole needed to be and tapped it a little for it to go through
Reply:Take some clay and put it underneath the strap. Then cut a little hole with skissors, and widen it with a small nail.





(did I say skissors instead of scissors?)
Reply:Place the strap on a piece of wood. Take a nail of the right size and poke it through the strap with a hammer. Pretty easy.
Reply:Look, you didn't spend money on shoes to make a hole by knifes or other items that would damage the shoes and probably make a torn looking hole. What you can do is go to a shoe repair shop or a clothing shops that sells belts and they have a tool that can do this perfectly and most of the time for little or no cost.
Reply:use a knife or poke it with something
Reply:If you have an eyeglass kit with the small screwdriver, use that. Press it against carpeted floor or a mattress and poke through it.





If you don't have a small screwdriver, try using a fork, or even a safetly pin. Once you make the hole, put the strap on in the hole just to make it larger.





Hope this helped ya some.
Reply:take a knife and poke a hole but be careful please, or use siccors
Reply:you could use a belt punch if you hav one or no anyone with one!


Or you could try a sharp kitchen kn ife lay the strap on a table %26amp; just push it thro wher it needs to go!


If that doesnt work take it to a shoe repair or key cutting place %26amp; they should be able to do it for you!! good luck!
Reply:A very tiny screwdriver will do this, or you can use a TINY drill bit, you have to make sure the strp is not wiggling all over if you are using a drill. You may be able to screw the drill bit through the strap, depending upon your own strength.
Reply:take it to a shoe repair place. you will not ruin the shoe that way.
