Tozafoot - Thanks for that reply. I'll give it a try. I never thought to try hammering it flat so that just might work! I have this idea that some sort of product like Celastic or a glue of some sort, would help to "stiffen" the inside of the toe box to help it retain the shape after getting it smoothed out. Is this a bad idea? I also thought of using "Tuff-toe" on the exterior, but I'd hate the look of it. D

Hi everyone. I'm trying to repair dented toe boxes in typical western style pull on boots. When new, the toe box is molded and stiffer than the rest of the upper. They have both been slightly crushed by outdoor work (tree work) and I'm looking for tools and tips for getting them back in shape. In my mind, I see a curved tool that I can get down in the toe and manipulate the toe back up in place while heating the leather. My hand doesn't fit. Does that make any sense? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you, D

Madmax22 Yeah, probably best that you didnt wait. I've emailed and posted questions several times and no one has reponded. Must be my aftershave...

I have the exact same issue. No luck with any help so far. Still trying to get info on this subject as well as a place to buy materials. Anyone??? Help!
