My boots shrunk

[chewydog]

I'm with duckster, my belts seem to be srinking too. Must be the leather.
As someone above posted, if stretching doesn't work, contact Simms. Great customer service.

Keep them wet. I put my boots into a large garbage bag with some extra water while they are still wet and never let them dry out. No shrinkage.

the shoe maker will help you out, then put on snow seal or some other boot treatment, and no problems any more

naaa they did shrink, your foot just got bigger. you know what they say when you get older your hands, feet, ears and nose get bigger.

Unfortunately, shortly after I turned 40 my feet did grow; 1 full size. It cost me a small fortune to get all new shoes and boots! Other than my feet, the only other thing that seems to be getting bigger is my belly.

I do agree with the others about the Simms boots needing to be wet. I do let mine dry out but when I first put them on it takes a couple of minutes in the water to be comfortable.

Usually I do wet them before use, although they always dry between trips. What really bugged me this time was that even after being on and in the water for a few hours they were still hurting my feet. I guess I'll give Simms a call and see what they have to say.

Ya' big SISSIES!!
All you talking about, "shrinking shoes and shrinking belts"!??? How about "GROWING' foreheads!??
Mine started to "grow", when I was around 20, or so, and hasn't stopped for the past 30 years!! NOW, it's clear back, darn near to the back of my neck!
Maybe I should try flyguy's suggestion and try SnoSeal!?
"Shrinking boots",I wish!

If the boot don't fit, you must aquitt!

Funny how we all can understand that getting leather wet makes it shrink but somehow in L.A. they have never heard of this fact.............


I find getting them wet and getting your foot back into them makes them stretch back out.
