There are different tips for buying walking shoes and boots that have to be kept separate. If you are buying walking shoes, you would not be worried about how they would stand up to pressure you would experience while you were riding a horse, and if you had boots on you surely would not want to walk a mile in them just after you bought them.
The tips for buying walking shoes and boots would start with the type of wear that you expect to use them for. If it is incline hills that you would be walking up, then a better made walking shoe would be needed, and you could leave your boots in the closet, because wearing them on a walking trip at a fast pace is considered stupid and life threatening.
With so many styles of walking shoes and boots available to choose from, careful consideration needs to be made as far as support, that I found out from the information tray with tips for buying walking shoes and boots in it at a local department store counter. These handy words of wisdom stated that walking shoes should be broken in before they are worn to alleviate the chance of developing blisters on the heel portion of your foot. The boots will need to be broken in as well, as the cowhide they are made from is stiff and must be made, through continuous wear, to mold to the pattern of your particular foot.
Other considerations that were made in the tips for buying walking shoes and boots that I found on the counter at the local department store, said that the lacing of shoes were very important. If walking at a fast pace, the tightness in the lacing of the shoes will help increase your mileage on a pedometer. The faster you can go without worrying about tripping up on loose laces will definitely increase your walking speed capability.
With boots you do not have laces to worry about and the tips for buying walking shoes and boots, that I found on the department store counter in a box said so. The shoes that are won with the walking shoes and boots are very important. This was another one of the amazing tips for buying walking shoes and boots that I found on the department store counter. The socks absorb moisture in the walking shoes and the boots, and will take the worry out of developing blisters on the heels of your feet.

There is such a thing as a shoe stretcher. Go to a shoe repair store and they could help you out.

ask someone with slightly bigger feet to walk around in them for you for awhile. That’s what I did with my sister, she would stretch out my shoes for me.

Take them to a shoe repair shop and get it done professionally. It is not too expensive and you will be glad to get it done correctly.

You probably should have bought the next 1/2 size! Especially if you’re going to be walking in them.
If you can, I’d take them back.
If you can’t, I think you’re going to have to stick to thin socks, otherwise, you’re going to end up with blisters.
I’m personally not aware of any way to stretch them out… but maybe there is. And it sounds like you’d need to stretch them another 1/2 size. Try to take them back.

Well it’s always best to buy walking boots a little bigger than your usual size to allow for the thick socks you will need to wear for serious hiking. That said, many good walking socks these days are a lot thinner than you’d think so it might be worth you checking out the more expensive socks at your nearest outdoors/camping shop as they’ll probably fit inside your boots nicely. I don’t think it is possible to really stretch your boots, but wearing them in around the house, garden and on short walks to start off with, perhaps with thicker socks on, should make them feel more comfortable.

You can definately have shoes stretched if they are a good quality. I believe they can stretch them up to 1/2 a size. If there is no place for you to have this done, (a cobbler) you can also buy wooden stretchers and do it yourself. You should be able to get the stretchers at Wal-Mart, Target, someplace like that.
