Thanks so much for all the advice, everyone.

I spent a little time stomping around the house in them—just to test things out—and finally decided they’re going back.
They were way too pricey, and honestly? They weren't even perfect...
I made the same mistake before by keeping shoes that were way too small, thinking they'd just stretch out... then I ended up never wearing them at all.

But that trick about freezing water in them? Love it. I've got a few old pairs of Nikes lying around that I can totally try that on! :-D

Hey ladies, looking for some wisdom and good advice here!

So, I ordered these leather boots (real leather!) from ASOS.
After a week of basically counting down the minutes—you know how it is :-))—they finally showed up! But man, they felt tight immediately. After wearing them for five minutes (I wasn't about to give up just yet :-D), I realized the length is actually perfect—even with two pairs of socks on—but they are way too narrow.
They felt okay after about fifteen minutes of walking around. But when I tried them on again this morning (and my feet were a bit swollen)... yeah, they were totally uncomfortable...

Do you think there's any way to stretch them out, widen them, or whatever... or should I just send them back? I'm honestly terrified of ordering a larger size, because if the fit is just naturally narrow, I might end up with boots that are way too long but still feel suffocatingly tight...
But they are so pretty... :-( And I waited so long for them... :-( And I already had a million outfits planned for them... :-(
:-D

Does anyone have a "home remedy" for what feels like the biggest crisis of my life right now? :-D
