"fixing" my boots.

[Cam Keo SOC16]

Ok, for Christmas, I received a pair of USMC issue boots Size 12; used. Which were purchased from a seller on this forum.

 

While I am happy with the boots, there is a problem.

 

on the left boot, on the toe, there is a "dent" in the leather/toe cap that will not budge for nothing. When my foot is in the boot, it puts preassure between my toes, it does not hurt, but it does not feel good, either, and is quite irritating. Is there any way to "Pop" this back into place, or fix it? I've tried taking a water bottle lid (larger one) and such to try and get it back in place, but nothing worked. I'm really all out of ideas, so I'm asking you guys.

 

Thanks for all and any help.

Hmm.....That may work, thanks for the link. Although I'd like to research free remedies before spending money.

 

Thanks,

Well i suppose you put the screwdrivier into the boot and push upward into the bulge inside the boot and hopefully it will pop out.

 

I am only assuming this is what medic is talking about however.

^^ correct; if you need leverage throw a D cell sized battery under it
