Good afternoon.

 

Can any shoemaker repair deformed toes like shown on the picture?

 

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas.

Usually the thecnichal pieces which are between the upper and the lining are thermo-moldable. You could model one wooden or plastic piece with a little bit of patience, then you should to  introduce the piece inside the toe of the boots now you should to warm with a hairdryer the leather to go modeling it ( this advice only gets on if the boots are made in leather, if the boots are made in PU should not modeling and they will be burned), be careful with the glues you used for the soles too because the glues are working with hot and could be remove, the boots will be damage for always.

With a little bit skill and some hours of working your boots could be perfect.

Nice points - a pity they have suffered!   I agree with the suggestion of wet paper etc.   But prevention is better than cure and it is never a bad idea to give some internal support to pointed toes before they get 'bent'.   Here again, some paper rammed well into the point should do the trick - or even a small piece of whittled wood or similar rigid material.   With care, the shoe should not be distorted nor the wearer's toes impeded (unless the wearer is a witch).
