letsroll Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I have a friend who would like to get his boots stretched a bit, too narrow. What is the best place in Portland to go?? Heck I might do it as well. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnhippy Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hey, Matt at Mountain Soles has been a big help in the past. They stretch boots but he is quite busy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I talked to a guy at US outdoor, and he knew his stuff. That is where I plan on going if my local store doesn't seem to have their act together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickster Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Another trick to try..... if the boot is leather..... is to run a bathtub full of hot water. Put on the boots and stand IN the hot water for about 10 minutes. Then get out and wear the boots around soaking wet for an hour. The leather will relax and shape to the foot. It seams to do as good of job as reaming them on any anvil. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My wife says to put a plastic bag inside your boots, fill it with water, tie it off so it cant leak. Put the boot inside another plastic bag. Put the whole thing in the freezer and freeze it solid as a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
