Boot stretchers and ruining the boot?

[Adventurfreak]

I just got a new pair of boots. The wide fit is too roomy and the regulars feels just a touch tight. If I stretch them out will is ruin the integrity of the boot or put too much stress in the seems? They are lowa Tibet so the leather may stretch a little with wear and tear but I may need to put something in there to widen them more. Any input would be great

If you have to stretch it a bit you could try to just spray rubbing alcohol on the area that requires it. Slide your feet in the boot and walk around for five minutes or so. It just might do the trick.
