How Much Can Boots Be Streched?


Curt

Recommended Posts

I bought an awesome pair of 70s knee high chucky boots. They are womens 8.5, but I take a 10. I can fit in them no problem, but it is very tight at the instep and bunion area. Can a cobbler stretch them enough so there is no pain walking in them? They are so coooool, and ill never find another pair like them in a size 10. Clarissa.

Widthwise they'll stretch quite a lot and as you can already get into them you should be satisfied. However, if you were to stretch boots lengthwise, you will only get about 1/3 of a size.

Thanks for your input, Dr. Shoe. Length is not the problem, it is too narrow in the instep area. I think taking them to the cobbler is the best way to go. I want to wear them because they look so cool!
