New mens rubber boots often look and feel so stiff that you might need to stretch them to be able to wear them, and the same goes for ladies’ counterparts.
This type of footwear is quite peculiar when it comes to stretching because the material can come back to its initial shape after you’ve stopped using it, which can make the boot feel tight the next time you use it.
There are different methods that enable you to stretch these boots, without the risk of damaging them. One way is to put water bags in the boots and then put them in the freezer. As the water inside the bags freezes, the rubber will expand.
Conversely, you can try to heat the boots to make the material stretch. To do this, get a pair of thick socks on, then put your boots on and start heating them for 10 minutes using your hairdryer. Even an affordable rubber boot should be able to withstand these stretching methods without any problems.
