How to Loosen Tight Boots
If your feet and calves had gotten bigger, chances are your leather boots will be difficult to fit into. Here are some tips on what to do when your to-die-for leather boots are too tight.
Things You'll Need:
Shoemaker
Boot stretcher
Step
1
Stretch. Take your boots to your shoemaker. Most shoe repair stores can use a boot stretcher to gradually expand the leather to accommodate wider calves.
Step
2
Cut a v-notch. Either you or a shoemaker can cut a v-notch in the side of your boots to add extra leather or stretchy elastic gore to give your boots more diameters and allow you more flexibility.
Step
3
Add zipper. Some boots are slip-on only and, if your calves have gotten bigger but your feet are still the same size, you can have a zipper added so you can easily slip back into your boots.
Step
4
If you just bought your boots and it seems that they are too tight when you got back home, you can try wearing them at home for a while. They will loosen in due time, but if they do not, return them for bigger size.
