An old trick I learn is take a zip lock bag and fill it with water all the whole full and place it inside your boot and take your boot and put it inside the freezer the water will freeze and stretch your boot at the same time.

Wear them round the house as much as you can.
You can also buy these metal things that stretch out ur shoes, you can probably buy them in a shoe shop or a clothes shop.
Another idea is to take the shoes back to the shoe shop and tell them about your problem, and because you have purchased the shoes from them, they should be willing to help.
If you would feel silly taking your shoes back to the shop then just ask them at the till and they should help.
You could always try to sell them or give them to someone who may fit into them better...if all fails then they will just have to go in your shoe collection and not be worn, but i think we've alll got a pair of shoes like that, that just stay at the bottom of the cupboard!

Take them to shoe repair. They stretch boots and shoes for around $15-$20.

It doesn't matter if they fit, as long as it says HARLEY. Wait, did you mean cut off the toe of the boot, or cut off the big toe? Cause it would be almost a sin to damage a Harley boot.

put on some thick socks, or 2 pairs, and just wear them around the house for a few days. my mom did that with a pair of pointy black leather boots and now they fit her fine. after a while they start to fit your foot.
hope that works.

You'll have to invest in a pair of shoe stretchers. You can get them on ebay, or various retailers. They'll set you back about $25 or so, but worth it, since you'll probably have more than one pair of shoes you'll want to stretch in your lifetime.
(why DO they always make stupid shoes so tight? I HATE that breaking-in period... that's what I got the stretchers. ;o) )

take them to the shoe repair and ask them to stretch them out for you!
next time, live and learn right?
buy a size bigger for pointy toes.
but a good shoe repair will help you out.
good luck.
fashion sucks huh?
your feet are you most important part of your body, they support your spine, and you have to walk on them, and if your feet hurt, you will have all kinds of problems.
I threw away all shoes, a lot of shoes when i was 28.
Every shoe that hurt my feet, out!!
now i only buy comfy shoes, and try them on in the store and wear them around for 30 minutes.
totally worth it, cuz you can't take them back!
all tho-- you can try to exchange them, clean them up!!
say they were a gift and you don't have the reciept!!
works for me!

1. You can get a 'shoe tree' - one that opens up inside to stretch the leather
2. or you could get someone with bigger feet to wear them for you for a while

Take them to the cobblers or put vaseline inside them before you wear them will soften and stretch them if left overnight

you can invest in some boot strechers, or, try damp screwed up newspaper. put it in the boot and leave to dry.
