Noooooo new beautiful boots are a smidge too tight

[JamInMyWellies]

and they were the last pair on eBay.

Has anyone ever successfully taken boots to a cobbler to be stretched?

Too tight where? Round the calf or in the foot?

calf is fine as is length its tight in the width.

It is worth taking them in to see if they can do it. My friend had some stretched and it worked really well.

phew

I wonder what make they are? I am a big fan of FitFlop superboots (3 pairs - oops ) but these were v tight when I first tried them, fine now.

They are Ash.

Push a couple big potatoes into them and leave them for a couple of days. Sounds stupid but it works.

I've regularly taken boots to be stretched at the cobblers. It's brilliant!

Can you stretch the calf too?

Can you afford to lose a toe?

I feel for you. I really do.

Am I the only person who read that as new boobs?

I wouldn't mind a new pair of boobs. Mine look like they have already been stretched at the cobblers

amazon sell shoe stretchers for about £7, I think. You don't need to take them to a cobbler.

Never tried this but might work. Fill two large thick plastic bags with water leave a small space at the top before securely tying them. Push a bag into each boot then place in the freezer overnight.

Assuming they are leather, put on some thick damp socks under your boots and walk around in them as much as you can. They should stretch to your exact foot shape. Feels a bit cold and squishy but well worth it!
