The Jeans are orininally skinny fit jeans, but i bought the wrong size, and they are too big for my legs, so i want to shrink them, and i cant take them back to the shop, because they dont take returns.

If they are going to shrink, hot water wash and a hot dryer will do it. Denim is sturdy enough to take it.
Keep in mind that they are just as likely to shrink lengthwise...

Jeans are very hard to shrink.
You can wash them on hott and dry them on high heat but that's going to fade them terribly. I'd recommend buying new jeans instead.
Jeans are made smaller so they are skinny jeans. But if you don't have the right body type (skinny/lanky) you aren't going to look good in them so be careful before you start shrinking and buying them because you don't want to look like a fat looser.

You can't. It's impossible to 'shrink' normal jeans so they're skinny. You can try, but they'll turn out looking like trash. Just save up about $20 and buy skinny jeans.

You can soak them in hot water, or wash them over and over in hot water until they get smaller, and dry them on hot. It's a pain in the a ss, but it works.
Someone also told me to try soaking in a bathtub filled with hot water while WEARING them. I never tried it, but they used to do that stuff back in the 60s.
Good luck!

You could wash in hot water and dry really hot; but be aware they're also going to get shorter.
You could take them to a tailor and get them altered.

You can't shrink them into skinny jeans. It is the type of cut that they are. The legs and waist are cut "skinny".
