I have really big muscular calves and wide feet (thanks, Mum!), making it very hard for me to fit into shoes I fancy. I bought these suede boots and pumps online because they were dirt cheap and super cute. When they arrived, not surprisingly, I could not fit into them.
I was able to stretch them with this solution:
Mix 3 parts water to 1 part isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Dampen a clean rag or cotton ball with the mixture and generously rub on the inside of your boot or shoe. Try them on again, slowly they will stretch out. Leave them on for a bit. You may have to do this process one more time. Ta-da! Happy feet!

Thank you! Do a search on "Bandit Knee High Boots" - that's what they are called. I got them for $15 :)
What were your boots made of? I just bought two pair of MIA boots and they only sip up about half way. I don't want to ruin them with the chance of maybe returning them. Do you think this would work?
It really works!! Thanks for the tip
does this work on any zip up boot or any material boot?
I've tried it on SO MANY types-- all good.
Another process is to put the rubbing alcohol in a small fine spray squirt bottle and spray in on the tight areas on the outside of the shoe. It will stretch the shoe as you walk or wear them.
Are you sure...I have a pair of Italian leather boots that snug across the front of my foot...Sure don't want ruin them. I bought them in Canada.
What should i do for cowboy boots
WOW, THAT IS A GOOD TIP. I SURE WILL TRY IT. THANK YOU.
