Unfortunately the strap cannot be stretched. The reason being is that is it set with two small screws for the latch. The screws will break long before the strap will stretch. We recommend extension patches for the strap. I believe we have examples of this job on our before and after section on our Facebook page.
Yes we can. We've done half zippers as well as full zippers on shark boots. We've also done gussets, both leather and elastic, on shark boots as well. We can also take them in for a smaller calf. Whatever you like.
Love your channel! I’ve shown my local cobbler your video but he said it’s impossible to stretch Givenchy boots as they’re triple-leather and have a “brace” on the inside that keeps them firm. He also says Lexol is a commercial conditioner and will not work although I disagree tbh. He’s willing to use a modern stretching machine for two weeks but he’s sure it’s not going to work & I’m wasting my money. Is there any information or advice I could relay to him that might help to get the calf an inch wider as I’ve seen you work these cases numerous times. Any info is majorly appreciated!
First off, be cautious of someone whos not confident in their abilities. Beyond that, I have definitely done this job many times and have exceeded 2 inches on a few jobs although I only recommend going about an inch. I don't use commercial stretchers. I make my own which allows me the freedom to fit them exactly the way I want. We allow our stretches to sit for one week then we de-tree them and repeat the process. Slow is the best way to do this job. Thank you for watching the video!
Majority of what we do is customizing items to fit on our clients. Its the only way they can get value out of their item. Thank you for watching our video, make sure to check out our upcoming gusset series!
Seriously. They make a wide calf version now but still a hefty price tag. The blue pair is a good example of damage caused because the calf circumference was too small. Now I understand why ppl felt they would walk on the back heel. Not a good look.
Can you stretch up to 2 inches in the calf? I have a pair or boots that have a 14.5 circumference, but my calves are 15.5 to 16 inches.
Can I ship to you ???
Hi just came across your channel amazing work but what about the strap how do you stretch that also so that it fits???

Do you think u could add a zipper on the inside leather piece on shark boots?
Yes we can. We've done half zippers as well as full zippers on shark boots. We've also done gussets, both leather and elastic, on shark boots as well. We can also take them in for a smaller calf. Whatever you like.
Where is your shop located
Atlanta
How long do you keep them like that for the results ?? Like 1 weeks ?
Yes, we leave them in the stretcher for one week. After that we take them down, make you try them on, and if need be we repeat it until they fit.

Could you show how to stretch the boot up a size? Mine are pretty narrow since I went half a size instead of a full size up.
See our stretching videos we have on our channel.
All that is required is to push them out more than you did the first time. One week at a time.
May we see an after? Or a review
They look the same after they've been stretched.
Omg I wish I saw this I have two pairs bcus my calves are thick they scraped the bottom leather 😢
We can repair that pair of boots.
Hi! What’s leather conditioner did you use? I am trying to stretch my boots from home.
We use Lexol on certain boots when we condition them. Some leather you have to use something else. Condition the inside of the boot only.
What area are you in and how much do you charge?
We are in Atlanta, GA
