Try getting someone with cankles to wear them for a bit.
Reply:Stuff them with damp newspaper or even better do you know anyone who is a size 4 maybe they could wear them in for you.





I wore my friends wedding shoes for her at work for 20 mins each day for a couple of days until they fitted her.!!!
Reply:If you can possibly bear it, put on thick socks (sports socks are usually good) and cram your feet into the boots. Wear around the house on and off - as they are leather they will stretch. Otherwise you could take to a cobbler and ask them to stretch them or buy like a wooden foot stretcher that will widen the shoe (you might be able to find them on the internet). You can make them wider but if you need them longer as they are a size too small you may be out of luck. Could you buy them in the correct size - perhaps look on ebay?
Reply:Take them to a shoe shop, one that does re-heeling, key cutting etc, i think the correct term is cobblers. well anyway, they have a special device that can stretch shoes, i had some of mine done and they worked really well. i would suggest you could take them back and get a bigger size, but im guessing your not completly stupid and would if this was a possible solution.
Reply:put wet newspaper in them and leave over night
Reply:You could try wearing extra thick socks to stretch them out or you could stuff them with damp, crumpled up newspaper and leave them for a few days I've heard that can help stretch them.
Reply:Y would you get a pair of boots that are too small? your smart. place a beer bottle in it, or go to your local shoe maker and ask him to stretch it for you.
Reply:it will sound crazy, but believe me it works! put some potatoes in there for a couple of days it will stretch them out and wala!!!


***the princess***
Reply:why not just take them back to the shop for a size 4
Reply:wet not soggy newspaper.......leave it to dry.


or wear with thick socks around the house, will soon give
Reply:stuff them with newspaper and leave them near a heater
Reply:If they are leather and only slightly too small, you can wet them, stuff them with paper or stretcher, which you can buy.





You could also buy a leather stretcher spray, at you local shoe menders or maybe Woolies or somewhere, not sure how good it is though.
Reply:You are really smart.
Reply:pack the boots with wet newspaper then leave them under a radiator to dry out when the paper drys out it will expand and hopefully your boots will as well
Reply:hi i do this all the time i give them to my sister who has a bigger foot then me and she wears them round the house she has them ready for me just in time for friday night
Reply:My tip is to stuffed them with some humide newspapers (not wet) and leave them for a few days
Reply:WHY did you buy boots that were to small then -
Reply:axe your f g toes off
Reply:Can't you get them in your proper size? I doubt it's doing your feet much good squeezing them into boots that are way too small for you.
Reply:Keep pushing damp newspaper into them, let it dry and then do it again. You have to force lots in though.
Reply:if they r real leather then put them in the freezer for one night and take let them become worm before wearing them, but smthing else don't forget to put them in a plastic bag before putting them in the freezer, i myself tryed it once, and it did worked, u can repeat it more than one time, good luck
