    I have bought a pair of EOS leather shoes on eBay but they are slightly too small. Has anyone got any good ideas on how to stretch them without ruining them.

    Rachel says: I have been wearing them a bit round the house, but with stockings not thick socks. I will certainly give this ago. Yes, I had heard about wetting them but wasn't sure how it worked and fear of ruining them them was a big factor! I've heard stuffing them with wet newspaper? Would the ink run? I don't know so too scared to try! Thanks for your advice!

    Ghost says: I usually wet the whole boot with hot water put soaks on and walk around in them for a couple of hours. This works for me. Cheers.

    Rachel says: Does nothing bad happen to the boots or shoes - like does the leather crack when it dries or anything?
