Default Stretching suede boots
Have read up on doing this to leather,and all seem to suggest wetting and stretching,not a good idea with suede.Any ideas? Ie good quailty boot stretchers i can buy on the high street.

I got some nice stretchers from "wood-n-stuff.com" on eBay. A bit pricey but they are high quality, well made and will likely last as long as I will need them.

You could stretch them dry or instead of using water, a leather softener is better and can be used on suede.
