When wet? Probably not exclusively from water. However, water and HEAT can absolutely shrink a leather belt, sometimes by several inches! If you were to wash your belt or otherwise get is sopping wet, and then leave it in the hot direct sun or throw it in a dryer, it may very well shrink.

No, I dont think so

From my experience, leather belts don't shrink but when they get wet and let dry they become hard and uglier from their original position

Will sperrys shrink in the dryer?

they have to be somewhat wet and then you can put them in the dryer and they may shrink a little or back to thier original size but you may ruin them I would suggest drying them with a blow drier on the lowest setting rather than a drier and if you do either way you may want to apply leather softener so the leather doesn't crack
