How to increase the size of leather shoes

Recently, such a nuisance happened - I bought my daughter leather demi-season boots. And I wanted to take it to grow, that is, a size larger. They took a long time to measure and select, and as a result they left with boots of the wrong size. When we came home, I discovered that the boots were not only too big, but they were already almost small - my big toe was already resting against the toe of the boot. It's a shame, a shame, but that's okay. I didn’t grieve for a long time and found this way out. I took ordinary pliers, wrapped an ordinary rag soaked in water around the clamping part, and inserted it into the boot.

You need to insert it so that the leather of the boots stretches, that is, with effort. Instead of pliers, you can take a suitable hard object that will be suitable for stretching the shoes to the required size. Now take a regular iron with a steamer and heat it up. We place a cotton cloth folded in half on the toe of the boots and begin to steam it, but only carefully and without fanaticism.

Then we leave the boots for a day. I can say that after all the manipulations I did, the boots stretched.Now my daughter’s big toe does not rest, but fits comfortably and freely in the shoe. I hope you find my experience useful!
