  • I got some new loake boots that seem right lenght wise, but that are killing me roughly where my foot is at its widest. Am I doing the right thing if I get one of these off AliExpress?
    And if I do, is there anything else I should do to the leather before I put it the gadget in and crank it up? Like, do I apply some kind of cream or something to make the leather more responsive to manipulation?

  • Take them to a cobbler

  • As @kboy says, take them to a cobbler, they use some kind of spray to soften the leather before putting them on a stretcher, my local guys charge £10 and if they don’t fit right after the first go they’ll keep doing it until they do for no extra charge 👍🏻
