How do i stretch my boots before tomorrow?

Question

I want to wear my new boots tomorrow for work, but the left boot is a lot tighter than the right, i have never had this problem before with other shoes. I really can't wear my old one's- silly me used them gardening the other day!!

Answer 1

Are you sure you bought the same sized boot for each foot?? Just a thought but I bet you're checking now aren't you?

In my youth I used to work in a shoe shop whilst studying and to be honest there's isn't really a lot you can do in such a short space of time and to be honest there isn't much you can do either with a lot of time. Try packing as much newspaper as you can in the left boot. I honestly don't think it will make that much difference though. I think the only way of sorting this is by wearing them in, so, if you want to wear them to work tomorrow I would take a spare pair of shoes with you cos there's nothing worse than your feet killing you whilst at work.

Is it possilbe to clean your other boots that you wore in the garden so that you could take them as a back up?

Answer 2

Wear thick socks and you should have no problem... if it's a whole lot tighter I would try stretching them with your hands or putting a bunch of balled-up paper in the boot.

Answer 3

go to a good shoe store or specialty store and buy a shoe stretcher... They are normally made of wood and when you "crank" the device- two foot shaped wooden pieces expand to stretch the shoe... OR stuff your boot with newspaper really tight to stretch the leather. good luck

Answer 4

Put a wet rag inside. If the shoe is real leather, it will stretch

Answer 5

Stuff the tighter one with damp newspaper, as tight as you can. It should have loosened off by morning, assuming they are leather.

Answer 6

You need to soak your boot in water then wear it so that it conforms to your foot.
