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.

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.

Got to love that you wear boots without any socks Enjoying the leather felt on your feet It's a great feeling and beauty indeed

Once I get my Ariat boots on, I love them. Getting my foot through the heel/top part is a battle though 😢

Nope You should have STEAMED the inside of the boot 1st and then insert the Stretcher into the instep of the boot.

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

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

How often do you need to apply the stretcher? I have 2 pairs of beautiful H-Davidson that can't fit anymore :( Got FAT XD

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.

Now, if you don't wear them for a while, will they shrink back?

Will they shrink back to smaller or will it stay like that as long as you keep wearing them?

You don't wear socks?

Instead used a plastic bag to help slide ur foot in and pull it out ur foot over time will adjust happens when u don't wear boots for a while

My problem is getting them off again any tips for that?

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.

I did. It know you could spray leather boots with alcohol and water?

That's awesome. My boots have been in closet for years because I can't get them on. Anxious to try this out. Thanks eh

great tips! I don't know anybody that could have boot stretchers. So I need to buy it. Any recommendations for a good boot stretcher? Thanks!

Will that solution work on Suede? Or will it discolor it?

Madam that Husky copressor is beautiful. Your uploads are great too. But mechanic all wys look at tools first!

Hello there !! great video ... How long do you leave them with the tool on?

Does anyone have a link for one of them stretchers I just bought some new ariat boots and they have the exact same problem as her boots in the beginning

Run a plastic grocery bag down the length of the back of the boot. Instant slip on. Wearing some type of sock might help too. You're welcome.

Your a nice looking Lady Thanks for the Video

cow leather is stretchable...but caiman is nearly impossible.

Wear some compression socks will squeeze the leg

Stick an empty polythene bag in the boot fill the bag with water tie the top and stick the boot in the freezer over night, take it out let it defrost and hey presto.

I love to wear a pair of thick wool socks, and then nylons over tops of the boot slips, and then do the duck hunting method

What type of alcohol you use

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

Socks!
