Boots too tight? Here's how to stretch them without RUINING the leather

#shorts

To stretch your boots, you don’t need to take them to a cobbler.

There are a few methods you can try at home.

You can buy a shoe-stretcher—a sometimes costly yet brilliant investment if you need to stretch multiple pairs of boots. This is my personal favorite method because you're not adding anything to the leather.

But you can also get a shoe stretching spray, which will relax the leather, though may damage your boots if you stretch them too much too quickly.

Great info, I brought a boot stretcher and it made my redwing 875 moc toe more comfortable around the toes. I don't like the last on that boot, but the stretcher made the boot useable.

How about slightly stretching the instep? The boot fits, but I’d love to be able to slip into it hands free (UGG Koolaburra classic)

Where do I buy the boot stretcher in your video?

Spraying the exterior of the shoe with the hot water and drying it up the temperature and the temperature helping the stretching

... please where did you get the particular boot stretcher you featured.

My boots are tight across where the tongue starts, it applies pressure where my toes meet the foot. Would this boot stretcher help with that?

You soak a rag in 1/3 Isopropyl and 2/3 water and shove it tight into the toe area. Not sure for how long. Then the stretcher for overnight.

Does brand matter? I just bought a set off Amazon for $34.99. Foot Fitter is the best but they are $120.00 for a set!

I had wide feet as well as high bridges, how do you recommend stretch out the bridge of the boot to accommodate my high bridge on my feet? Does this do it or does this only stretch out the toe area of the boot?

Can these be used for the Clarks Wallabee boot. They are difficult to wear with socks.

Tight boots will damage your feet. Get your right size.

Are the threaded components durable, or do they strip because it's crappy Chinese metal? This guy has no idea.

Tell the truth that thing cost $100 bucks damn near

Boot stretching spray can affect the dyes and pigments in the leather, yes, but it can’t actually damage the leather itself in any meaningful or structural way.

You need to check where you get your information, because putting misinformation like this out there will cause newbies to do damage to their boots, and it’ll be down to your poor advice.

Not cool dude.

Boot stretcher sounds like a racial slur
