I was given a pair of cowboy boots that are the correct length, but are too wide.  Is there any way to shrink the leather so they will hug my feet more snugly?

get boots really wet....when throughly saturated with water place near wood stove.... high heat source ...not to close or will burn the leather this will shrink them some what.....don't leave on your feet as the  steam from the heat will burn you. when dried try on and if this is ok treat them with dubbin or like product....

Check out this help link from ebay http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/questions/retract-bid.html\n\nMy hubby bid on women's hiking boots once that he thought were men's and we wound up retracting the bid.  If you do it often it can be a big deal so be careful.

Have you thought of just going down to an Army Surplus Store and picking up a footlocker? They are made of wood with steel re-enforced corners, and have a tray insert. With a minimal amount of fuss, you can customize one to fit your needs.\n\n-SD-

Your gloves should be comfortable with a little space at the finger tips. They should not be too tight though. Have some movement.

Is the crease not on a seam? Like it's a wrinkle just under the leather? Get it warm and fullof air. Use a rolling pin and push the air pocket to the seam. If it doesnt move then push it while slightly deflated.

I got this from About.com\nHope it helps\n\nWhen it comes to cleaning suede footwear, the old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" definitely applies. \n\nTreating your suede or nubuck shoes with a protective spray or finish will help to repel water and prevent stains. If that ship has already sailed, at least you'll know for future reference to protect before wearing. \n\nIn the meantime, here are some tips for cleaning suede shoes and boots after stains have already set. \n\nRemember to first test any treatment or product on a small inconspicuous area before tackling a large stain, and only use products designed specifically for the material of your footwear (suede, nubuck, smooth leather, etc.). \n\nFor heavy stains on suede footwear, use a suede cleaning block (also called a suede eraser). These products will crumble as you rub them across the surface of the footwear, and are great for removing even deeply embedded dirt. \n\nAfter cleaning, the nap of your suede can be restored by using a suede brush. The bristles of suede brushes are usually made from brass, and often you can find both the cleaning block and the brush in one kit.

I think if you wet them again & put them on & walk around in them until they feel comfortable should do the trick \nbut you may have to keep doing that every now & then as they dry\nto stop them shrinking again\nhope it works for you

Funny you asked that question, and I will give you an honest answer. My brother is 6 ft 8 inches tall and wears a size 16 boot so he goes to Mexico and has custom boots made for less than he could dream of getting regular boots in the States. I go over there often and you could get a guiter made for your dad at a reasonable cost. If you are unable to go to mexico ,I can check it out for you and let you know who to contact,   B. Glick

Hydrate them, with some lip balm. The best thing to do is prevent the wind burn all together.

put the band on top of your boot. give your trousers a couple little folds if you like, and tuck them under the band.

Go to a specialty shoe store, I go there to get my shoes because my feet roll outward. Have them fit you with shoes, or if needed, arches too. Try footware, or Dr. Schroll's.

Interesting, so if it happens ONLY when you bath horses and you use water tight boots then it can't be related to anything in the water or soap your using. That would be my first guess that your sensitve to the soap or other chemical your using. If you mean sensitive by allergic reaction then you will have to narrow down whats toching your feet before it happens. It could be anything from your socks to the material in the boots thats causing the reaction. If it presists see your Dr.

When I was fitted for new walking/running shoes and had blisters the shoe guy told me I was wearing my socks too thick and didn't have the correct support.  He told me to put desitin cream or any baby rash cream on the blisters to keep the moisture away. \n It worked ASAP!
