Thank you for your tips. Proved to be really useful, especially the one with a hairdryer. The sock method l kinda guessed and tried myself with no particular success. I found that the shoes tend to shrink back to their original size once you leave them rest over night. Heat, on the other hand, seems to make the stretching irreversible, which is exactly what we are aming for here. For those of you guys who don't like the idea of DIY stretching a pair of expensive shoes, l totally recommend going to your local street corner shoe repair shop. My girlfriend just had a pair of her shoes stretched by a local specialist. He says he can always stretch them one size up. Anything bigger than that could easily ruin your shoes. And, by the way, he charged her 15 bucks for the job, which l find very fair, considering he's saving your feet from a lot of pain and suffering. Good luck with your shoe stretching everybody!

I wasn't sure whether to keep or send back my rather tight Common Projects. I decided to keep them and used a shoe-tree with a thick wet sock and also a used hair drier. I'm glad I did that and now they are a very comfortable pair of shoes.

Many years ago a millionaire accidentally left his leather gloves at my place of employment. When he said to just keep them rather than coming back I obliged. I looked them up and found they were over 800 dollars but they were too small for me. I filled them with metal weights and soaked them in different oils and solvents that were recommended and in a few days they were a full size larger and fit like, well a glove. These gloves were stolen when my car was stolen on Christmas Day a few years ago, along with my favorite knit hats, favorite cardigans, scarfs, and antiques. Very sad. Since then I have never found another trapper hat that is the same. It’s like no one on earth makes that hat anymore. My boss found one that looked very similar and I was very touched by it.

Pro tip: figure out how big those holes are for the greebles that come with your shoe stretcher and drill a hole between each hole already there, so that you can put the greebles EXACTLY where they need to be instead of just approximately where they need to be to address your pain.

Leather...once it gets wet...will always dry in the position it is left in. So...if you wet a pair of shoes, (yes...soak them), then put in shoes trees and let dry, (in that position), they will dry to the size of the shoe trees. Even better...is to use a "shoe stretcher". Wet the shoes, (yes...soak them), then put in the shoe stretcher, and stretch as much as you can without ripping the leather. Then let dry for a few days. Then...wet them again, (with the shoe stretcher still in), and barely twist the handle to make the shoe stretcher stretcher a tad bit more. Do this repeatedly, and SLOWLY OVER SEVERAL PERIODS, and your shoes will stretch almost a whole size. Beware...if you go too far...it WILL RIP THE LEATHER. So be patient and go slow. And always always condition with some kind of conditioner BEFORE stretching. You might even want to condition them after each time they dry. Just go slow, take your time, and in a week or two...they will feel much better. This is the same thing a cobbler will do at his shop. That is why it takes a week for a cobbler to stretch your shoes. 1:Condition, 2: Wet, 3:Stretch, 4: Dry. Then start over if needed. May take several days. Good luck.

I found the 'specific' areas of pressure, like the knuckles over my big, and pinky, toes and cut thin cork templates, with an adhesive back, and applied those pieces onto my shoe trees. Next, I secured those pieces with strips of duct tape. Last, I conditioned/moisturized my boots and left the shoe trees in for three days. The following rendered 'specific' relief, yet it behooves to leave the cork patches in place.

I’m going have to try this. I have a new pair of Duluth Wild Boar leather shoes. Normally, I wear a 10.5W size but the ones I tried where too wide. I went with a size 10 which gave me a snug fit. The curse of having wide feet. 😅

I have a very nice pair of Mocassin style Rockport shoes that are sorta suede but more smoothly finished. Will the leather conditioner darken the leather? If I wet the leather with water and used shoe stretchers, would that work? I guess my feet got a little bigger ove the years and they're a little tight now.

@stevelamby7658 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, but dont condition first, they make shoe stretch spray but try in an inconspicuous spot first. Also, make sure you get a boot stretcher, not a shoe stretcher, there is a difference.

@z1522 9 ай бұрын

Be very cautious about using heat; many leathers, especially vegetable tanned hides, when moist and heated, will shrink irreversibly in a process very similar to wool, where the protein fibers "denature," coiling into tight, hard, and basically wood-like lumps. Medieval armor and shields were made this way, but not so great with a pair of boots or shoes. Rubbing alcohol and water lubricates the fibers, and is the basic combo in leather stretch products. Applying to only the areas that need it is a good practice, and avoiding the welts where the soles and uppers meet reduces risk of pulling stitches or glued seams. After stretching and room temp drying for a few days, the leather may need reconditioning, and polishing, etc. as the alcohol dries the leather.
