Take the boots into a shoe repairer and they can put them on a stretcher. You can also buy a product which softens leather, thereby making it easier to stretch.
Depending on how thick the lining is, you can stretch them by holding the leather over the steam from a kettle and then stretch the leather by pulling it over the back of a chair.( Or by getting someone with big legs to walk round in them.)
This may help;
