Might be an odd question but because I'm do thin and tall my leg opening if even straight leg jeans tend to be a bit tight to fit over the shaft of my boots does anyone have an ways to stretch the jean from calf down to open them up a bit and allow them to relax a bit around this area. I'd just get a pair of 461 but they aren't long enough

I've seen a technique for stretching jean pockets that may be applicable in some similar form.

Basically, jamming a shitload of pencils into the pocket.  Because of the tapered tip of pencils, you can keep shoving more and more pencils into the center of the bundle until you place considerable tension on the pocket.  It seems you could do something similar to perhaps flare the bottoms of a jean, though using pencils seems unrealistic… perhaps stuffing something bigger in there would get it done.

Actually I managed to just spray em with a bit of water, give it a bit of a tug and it worked good so they sit fine now thanks tho mang

A really cool Cat and blog reader of mine gifted me these MP toes just out of the blue.  He recommended I swap out the factory buckles and so I did just that with my custom roller buckles.

[superfuzz]

Wow, that's an awesome gift. I think you should make your next blog about classic cars 

[vintage_engineer_boots]

Hehe!  Not a bad idea.

[Bluegrass]

what is the leather on those?  Fire or smooth??  Nice - really liking the MP toe.

[vintage_engineer_boots]

Yeah, the gentleman wore 'em just enough for nice wear and tear to develop.  They're the smooth leather.  Contemplating having the Okuyama sole treatment, but kinda like them as-is.

I'm sending my Boss boots back to WESCO to have the toes stretched to make them a bit higher, the MP toe box is just too tight on my big toes when I wear the boots with the insoles from WESCO. They fit fine when I wear them without insoles. So sending them back for stretching, hopefully that will do the trick.
