How to "slouch" boots?

KarinSwe

I remember reading a while ago that someone had a really great tip on how to "make" boots more slouchy, if they are quite stiff as they are. Something involving a rubber band, I think... Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I bought these yesterday (after my first pair of winter boots got a hole in them... sigh.), and would love for them to be a bit slouchy! http://www.faith.co.uk/cat_id//razime-prod298700/

Loads of thanks if anyone can help me out!

Thanks Louise! Now I just have to try and find some rubber bands around the flat... Or could it work by just securing it together with some piece of string you think? Or should it be rubber bands to make it a bit more "flexible"? Hm, I have absolutely no idea about these things..!

That said, I'm actually not really sure about the whole securing thing..! Does it mean that I scrunch them down and then put the band around the sole and over the top of the shaft, if that makes sense?

I blame the confusion as a language thing, ok?

Karin, that was my impression as well (that the rubber band went around the sole and over the top), so it's not a language thing! I'm not sure if that's right or not though...

Do the boots really stay scrunched that way permanently? I am intrigued by this.

Hmmm. There is a picture of this somewhere. On one of Shiny's posts I think.

Sweet boots! Can we see them on, Karin?
