i agree with callenish, the best thing i ever did for my shoes was to wear them through a thunderstorm and its aftermath.....get them good and soaked, then wear them till they are dry(or close to it)

Yup-- Same with mine. Ended up down pouring at one point at Mifflin... They fit soooooo nice now. This is especially good for the straight lasted sort 'cause then they conform to your feet quicker.

That's the cowboy way to do it. They get a brand new pair of cowboy boots, fill up the tub and jump in. Then they wear them till they dry.

For minor changes in the fit, there is a silicone spray called Shoe Stretch that you can get in the shoe accessory area at Wal Mart. Spray it inside and it allows the show to stretch easily. Works great on a tight instep or a non-giving heal. Use it all the time.
