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
