Put on thick socks and then your boots. Use a hair dryer on a medium heat setting to warm up tight areas of the boots for 20-30 seconds while flexing your feet and moving your toes. This will soften the material, allowing it to stretch more comfortably. Walk around in the boots until they cool down for better results.
