Wow that shoe looks great, you bought it online. Now you have them but you realize that they are bit small for your feet. Probably a little bigger would have been just perfect. Alright, you have come to the place; we shall show you how to gently stretch your shoes.
Stretching Your Shoes
Wear them at home- Probably the easiest and most evident option for you. Wear them in home until they have adjusted to your feet.
Wear thick socks and add heat. Get the thickest socks, if you don’t have thick socks, put two or three socks on and Squeeze your feet into the shoes (Leather only) eat the tight area of the shoes using a hairdryer and bend your feet back and forth as much as you can for 20 to 30 seconds.
Keep your feet inside shoes, until it cools down to normal temperature. After that try them without socks.
Repeat the hot and cold stretching process.
Note: heating shoes could weaken glue bonds—use with caution on vintage shoes
2) Freeze them with a bag of water. Find a plastic or seal-able sandwich bag and fill water and seal tightly, one for each bag.
Push the water bags inside the shoes to fill it entirely.
Place it inside freezer, as it turns into ice, it will expand the shoes a little bit.
Remove the shoes from the freezer and leave them for twenty minutes before you try to take out the bags.
It's recommended that you don't use this method on expensive shoes.

Stuff your shoes with wet newspaper. Scramble up wet newspaper and shove it gently into the shoes. Stuff as much as it will comfortably fit. However be careful you don’t overdo it.
Let the shoes dry for sometime.
Note that this method can also include freezing the shoes for added expansion.
You could also use freezing
Wet socks can be substituted for newspaper.

Fill them with oats. Try this old cowboy trick for leather boots: fill your boots with oats, or any grain that swells up when wet.
Pour in enough water to cover the grain. The grain will swell overnight.
Clean out the oatmeal. It's probably not a good idea to make breakfast with the leftovers.
Wear them for a few days as they dry and adjust to your feet.
