they are brand new, but I can’t return them as I bought them from overseas. They are just a bit wide in the calf and I’m wondering if they can be shrunk?
they aren’t showing boots just to replace home ones
i can’t see how a boot alteration place could alter them, I did already check that.
I had a pair of mine taken in - shoe / boot repair cut the stitching in the back seam and cut out a length of leather and re-stitched.

The bathtub method will get them to conform more to your leg but I don’t know how tight they can get. Dunk the boot leg in the bathtub, I did the whole boot but I worry about modern insoles, get it good and wet in warm water and plan to wear them all day till they dry more fitted.

The “wet and wear” method works quite well with boots with small deviations from a comfortable fit. There is likely a bit more leeway in small to slightly larger than there is from large to slightly small, at least in my experience.

Plan B then, how to shift fat from somewhere else to my calves!
They fit better 3 weeks ago, it’s really odd. Maybe I had thicker breeches on or something
Work out and get bigger calves. Or maybe thicker socks? :lol:
