take them to a place that resoles shoes. im sure they can stretch em.
i dont see many around here anymore, only a couple in town. most people dont use the shops anymore, so they are kinda dying out.

If you dont mind gettin your boots real wet heres how I used to do it. Soak your boots in water, I'm talkin fill them up with water and then walk 'em dry. Whenever I got a new pair thats what I used to do. Next time I they fit and wore like a champ. It was like they were molded to my feet, oh wait I guess they were huh???

Just don't forget to oil them up after they are dry!
