Need to do that. Just got an amazing pair of Ariat work boots and had to fight to even get my foot in. It was so much work I was tired lol. Thank you!

Thank you, just what I needed. I have a brand new pair of cowboy boots but the left boot is tight. I didn't feel the tightness at first it when I first tried them at the shop but now it's so painful to wear them. My cowboy boots sit in the closet for years. Now I will try your method and I hope it works or I will have to continue to see my boots in the closet for years.

@bobbyhenshall74649 ай бұрын
wear some plastic bags on your feet before you slip your foot into the boot. With the bag on your foot, your foot should slip a lot easier into the boot. When you have them on, you can just tear the bags out.

Nope You should have STEAMED the inside of the boot 1st and then insert the Stretcher into the instep of the boot.
@bluerider888 күн бұрын
Perhaps a steamer is a good verus the the water alchohol but what would be even better would be to grease up your boots then stretch them
@overkill4x434 Жыл бұрын
Um I’m not to sure about using alcohol it seems like that would dry it out I would just use steam and it some mink oil but if you did use alcohol I would be sure to condition the boot with mink oil or boot conditioner to put moisture back into the leather to make sure it’s not too dry and cracks.

excellent! I purchased 'boot stretcher' spray... and it definately seems to me that its ISO ALCH and WATER... no doubt
@guymcneill1711 Жыл бұрын
You need to stretch them more because you must ware socks our feet sweat very heavily and sweat is salty and will dry inside your boots and before long your sweat stains will show on the outside and dry out and crack the leather so it looks to me like they still do not fit you correctly

I know this comment is old, but thought you maybe could use this tip sometime later. If it's your instep that needs stretched, you can fold a piece of leather and put down in boot, then push a baseball down inside the boot on top of the leather piece, to stretch boot. The more you need it stretched you fold the leather thicker...

First, you don’t use bare feet a thin pair of nylons will give you more slip and not take up much more room then you go duckhunting and get them good and wet for a couple of hours then you wear them until they’re dry then you’ll oil the tar out of them because you just abuse the poor leather

Much thanks for the tip. I used a boot stretcher before but didn't realize you can treat them with alcohol and water four times over two days while tighting the boot stretcher each time. You saved my red wing 875 moc toe from being sold on eBay. I love the look of the boot but the toe box was killing my big toe and pinky toe. Now it fits much much better. They are actually comfortable now.

Girl, you’re speaking my language. I’ve lived in Crocs for awhile and have just pulled out my western boots, and was reminded why it’s been awhile since I’ve worn them. They still need some stretching around the ankle to get on.

I have the same boot stretcher but it keeps sliding back toward the heal as I tighten it so it doesn't seem to be doing much. It needs designed with something to keep it pushed toward to toe. I'm also worried that if they get wet In the rain then they will shrink again.

Without a gauge on the boot stretcher, you're guessing at the right tension. I wonder if you applied some mixture to the inside surface if that would help.
