To stretch new leather boots, you can spray rubbing alcohol on the part that is tight, and then wear them for up to four hours. If boots are tight at the calf, then you may need to take them to a cobbler so he can insert a piece of leather or elastic to make them larger.

How can you stretch elastic waistbands that are too tight?
The possibility of expanding an elastic waistband depends on a couple of things. First, does the rest of the garment fit (bust, hips)? Secondly, is the elastic in the waistband loose or sewn in place. If the elastic is loose, the process will be much easier: in the inside of the garment find a place where you can open the casing about 2"-3" so you can gain access to the elastic; pull out a loop of the elastic; secure the elastic on both sides of the opening with pins so the elastic doesn't slip back in the casing; cut the elastic; add a piece of elastic to expand your waistband, remembering to allow approximately 1/2" of overlap on both ends & sew securely; now you can remove the pins securing the elastic & allow the elastic to slip back into the casing; stitch the casing closed. However, if your waistband elastic is stitched in place all the way around, as is the case with many ready made garments, you will have to remove all the stitching first before adding more elastic, remembering to allow approximately 1/2" of overlap on both ends; carefully pin the elastic back in place and resew in place with an elastic stitch that will not break but stretch with the elastic.

Examples of elastic energy?
Elastic energy is the potential energy stored in elastic materials when they are stretched or compressed. Here are a few examples:Stretching a Rubber Band: When you stretch a rubber band, it stores elastic energy. This energy is released when you let go, causing the rubber band to snap back to its original shape.Bouncing a Basketball: When you drop a basketball on the ground, it compresses slightly and stores elastic energy. The ball then rebounds as the stored energy is released.Pulling a Bowstring: In archery, when you pull back a bowstring, you're stretching it and storing elastic energy. This energy is released when you release the arrow, propelling it forward.Compression Springs: Springs in machines and vehicles, like car suspensions, store elastic energy when compressed. This energy can then be used for shock absorption or to provide a return force.Stretching a Slinky: When you stretch a Slinky toy, it stores elastic energy. When you release it, the Slinky contracts and bounces back and forth, releasing the stored energy.In each of these examples, elastic energy is stored in the material as it deforms (stretches or compresses) and is later released when the material returns to its original shape.
