stretching boots

[jenjo56]

Just bought knee length boots, 1 leg is fine, but the other is tight on my calf, how can i stretch it

[havinmysay]

just wear them around the house to wear them in

yes that is what we suggest at work, you can buy boot stretchers in Timpsons for about 10 quid, or just use a leather softener on them, but you have to remember that leather loosens naturally with wear anyway and if they do not stretch to fit you with wear but u artificially stretch them they will end up in wrinkles around your ankles.

Thanks for your advice, I will put leather softener on and then wear them around the house, see if that works. Dont know why I've got 1 calf bigger than the other.

if you drive it will because you are heavy on the clutch or the brake

Where them around the house with thick socks pulled up - they'll soon stretch
