Stretching long leather riding boots...

[BethanT]

....can you do it?

Regret to admit that I have put a teeeny bit of weight on over the winter months, to the point where I am struggling to get my leather boots done up over my calves, so rather than forking out for a new pair, are there any tips for stretching the leather a bit?

Dont really want to buy a new pair (sentimental value as well).

New exercise regieme has started already!

Where abouts are you?

There is a guy just outside of Brecon who does it, and has a superb reputation. Was going to do my Konigs but no need now. This is him http://www.llwynonsaddlery.co.uk/index.php/equestrian-services.html
Maybe give Snobs of Amersham a ring and see if they can help if you're miles away.

I am in West Devon, so if anyone knows someone near there! Tempted to buy a cheap pair of joddy boots and chaps but then I have less motivation to loose this extra padding!
