Can you stretch boots ?

[Andsoltbegins]

Found some lovely leather boots I got about 10 years ago and never wore. They are leather but half a size too small ....
They are really nice and I don’t want to get rid of them but I think I’ll have to as it feels so tight across my foot in such a place that I think I’ll twist my ankle if that makes sense ...

Can they be stretched somehow ?

Works a treat . I’ve used it for years on one boot as I have different sixes feet .

Thanks so much ! I was so upset as they were expensive but having babies has made my feet grow !

You don't even need to buy anything.
Put the thickest pair of socks you have or lots of regular socks on. Then put your shoes on. Then hold a warm hairdryer on them for a couple of minutes. Keep the sock and boots on till the boot cools down.
Will be streched. If you need it bigger, repeat.

I have a pair of boots for years that have just sat in the cupboard as they are a size too small and I lost the receipt. Recently read an article about putting a freezer bag in them full of water, which expands the leather and makes them up to a size bigger.... worked a treat. Worth a go if you don't find an easier solution and cake make room in for freezer for 48hrs!

Some good tips here,you can also buy shoe stretchers from ebay, cheap,
My daughter lent me hers for some boots i got that were a bit tight,mainly on one foot a bit wider than the other, they fit lovely now
You can alter the width bit by bit
