try soaking them in warm water whilst on your feet it allows the fabric to soften and mould to the natural shape of your feet.
sounds silly but it works

what i have used in the past is saddle soap it good stuff it comes in a little can u have to rub it in good and it cleans and soften at the same time it might take a couple time and it will make your shoes last longer and at the price of shoes today

Saddle cleansing soap is the perfect to sparkling leather-depending. that is going to - if used wisely - keep the leather-depending tender and in sturdy project for decades. Moisten a sponge, rub over the saddle cleansing soap (this will be bought in a bath or bar with glycerine) and gently rubdown it over the leather-depending in little circles till it disappears. keep the sponge moist and each and every now and then rinse it out. only squeeze it in an previous towel to get rid of further water. Any color leather-depending might want to be wiped clean with this. ensure to entice close the jacket(s) on a hanger interior the exterior and under no circumstances in direct warmth to dry out. in the experience that they are motorbike jackets or heavy leather-depending ones you may prepare Neetsfoot oil and draw close to dry after cleansing.

Mink oil, Saddle soap, several leather oils for saddle care. Check local farm and home stores. Also good for the leather. You can also soak with rubbing alcohol where they're tight and wear them 'til they're dry again but this is for emergency use only. Drys out the leather very bad. Old shoe cobblers trick! Also wears out the shoe faster!

Usually you can apply liberal amounts of mink oil to your shoes and they will soften up considerably. Also, the mink oil will help make them more water resistant.
You can buy mink oil anywhere they sell shoes, at Walmart, just about anywhere you can find shoes!
Best of luck!
