Help - new boots are too narrow - can I stretch them?

[mamhaf]

My new, very flashy leather boots are too narrow I've discovered after wearing them for a day. I obviously can't take them back - how can I make them wider? Thanks!

Stick your big feet in them for days at a time

here's how

Get DH to wear them for a few days

you can buy shoe stretchers from clarks or timpsons or other shoe repairer-y type places.

or for a cheap fix you could try making the inside damp (wearing a damp sock might work) and then walking round in them for a while. Use warm water, it'll soak into the leather and make it more supple and help stretch to the shape of your foot.

that's assuming it's narrow in the foot and not in the leg.

ime, just keep wearing them. Couple of months of pain then they'll be fine for the next few years.
