I'm stuck with some movie replica boots which are 1 inch short from confort. My toes are all crumbled up, and I don't have the alternative of getting anything bigger. Is there a way around this? The boots are made off leather with plastic/rubber soles.
 
Its normally possible with leather shoes to stretch them a little in terms of width, but I dunno about 1 in in length.

Best thing would be to take them to a shoe repair shop and ask.

are you talking about those stormtrooper kicks that only go up to size 14? if so, i'm in the exact same boat with you.
 
There is some stuff that you can buy at shoe or leather stores to widen leather. You need to apply a stretcher, too.

With 1 inch, I´d say that would stretch a shoe out of shape, especially since the soles are made to fit the original size.

And 1 inch is a jump in a complete size. I´d rather sell the pair and get another one.

You can take them to a shoe shop and have them stretched - I've done that before. I'm not sure if they'll stretch as much as you need, though.
