FWIW, I've taken shoes (Goodyear last shoes, not bike shoes) to the cobbler to be stretched. While it's cheap ($6) the odds aren't good the stretch is going to get dialed with one stretching treatment. After having another pair rebuilt they came back tighter than they were when I sent them to Allen Edmonds. So, I bought a $25 stretcher and a bottle of sauce (pretty sure it's just water and alcohol) on Amazon. They come with little bunion buttons you can add if needed. I don't regret it. The spray claims to help stretch shoes of all sorts of material, but I can't say as I've only used it on leather.
