How to "stretch" leather shoes?

[pitc9]

Firstly, put on two pairs of socks - the reason for this will be come clear in a minute.

Next, boil a kettle.

Hold the shoes over the spout of the kettle while it is steaming, then put the shoes on while still warm and walk around the house in them. The socks will help the stretching process and keep your tootsies from getting hot. Repeat process as often as necessary.

Wow!! Great idea with the tea kettle!!!

I was going to say 2 pair of socks, but that makes it even better!!

One of my old boyfriends was a shoe repairman and he always told me the best way to stretch them it is soak them with water, then wear them wet.
