  1. Take them to a shoe repair shop and get it done professionally. It is not too expensive and you will be glad to get it done correctly.

  2. There is such a thing as a shoe stretcher. Go to a shoe repair store and they could help you out.

  3. have some one with bigger feet walk in them for a little while. I normally get my dad or my brother to walk in them

  4. ask someone with slightly bigger feet to walk around in them for you for awhile. That's what I did with my sister, she would stretch out my shoes for me.

  5. try wearing thick socks it may make them a bit tight in the begining but later they shall be fine with normal socks

  6. You probably should have bought the next 1/2 size! Especially if you're going to be walking in them.
    If you can, I'd take them back.
    If you can't, I think you're going to have to stick to thin socks, otherwise, you're going to end up with blisters.
    I'm personally not aware of any way to stretch them out… but maybe there is. And it sounds like you'd need to stretch them another 1/2 size. Try to take them back.

  7. Well it's always best to buy walking boots a little bigger than your usual size to allow for the thick socks you will need to wear for serious hiking. That said, many good walking socks these days are a lot thinner than you'd think so it might be worth you checking out the more expensive socks at your nearest outdoors/camping shop as they'll probably fit inside your boots nicely. I don't think it is possible to really stretch your boots, but wearing them in around the house, garden and on short walks to start off with, perhaps with thicker socks on, should make them feel more comfortable.

  8. simply…..
    first of all u will try to change them and if is it not possible then simply wet ur feet and then wear the boot in these wet feet
    after some min u take off the boot then again wear the shoes after dry the feet then u feel a little diffrence in the size of the boot try it and it can be
    then 1 or 2 times do it again then the size is accorate
    an other solution giveur boot to other person who has a little big size he wears ur shoes then after some time size is increase and complete ur requirement….try it

  9. if there leather you can purchase a shoe stretcher that expands from a screw on inside also wet leather put them on go for long walk or sleep in them till their dry.

  10. You can definately have shoes stretched if they are a good quality. I believe they can stretch them up to 1/2 a size. If there is no place for you to have this done, (a cobbler) you can also buy wooden stretchers and do it yourself. You should be able to get the stretchers at Wal-Mart, Target, someplace like that.

  11. Thats wonderful, i never realized that Baidu is previously producing which much affect on the look engine marketplace. They still possess a extended way however to catch up with google. I really feel sorry for ask though.
