How do you fix bear paw boots when they cave in on the heel?

1. Heat the boot. Using a heat gun or hair dryer, heat the area of the boot that has caved in. This will help to soften the leather and make it more pliable.

2. Mold the boot. While the boot is still hot, use your hands to mold it back into its original shape. Be sure to press firmly and evenly.

3. Cool the boot. Allow the boot to cool completely before moving on to the next step.

4. Apply a leather conditioner. To help keep the leather from drying out and cracking, apply a leather conditioner to the entire boot.

5. Repeat as necessary. If the boot caves in again, repeat steps 1-4.

Here are some additional tips for fixing bear paw boots:

* If the boot has a zipper, unzip it before heating it. This will help to prevent the zipper from melting or warping.

* Be careful not to overheat the boot. If the leather gets too hot, it can scorch or burn.

* Work quickly while the boot is still hot. The leather will start to cool and stiffen as it cools, making it more difficult to mold.

* If you don't have a heat gun or hair dryer, you can also use a pot of boiling water to heat the boot. Place the boot in the pot of water for a few seconds, then remove it and mold it back into its original shape.

* If you don't have a leather conditioner, you can also use a petroleum jelly or coconut oil.
