i have a pair of churchills that are the new breed but i forgot the name of em...anywayz im a 13 and i love their shape but i need em to strech a little for my booties cause i cramp up within about a half hour-does anyone know how to safely strech them out just a little? Ive been using those wooden shoe spring things that are shaped like the front of your foot and the back is spring loaded which is helping but i wondered if i could put em in the oven on low (like 100 degrees) or something like that while im strechin em? just wanna ask before i do anything stupid...

You should probably buy the thinnest pair of booties that you can find and/or get a bigger (more roomy) pair of fins for winter. Hard to find, I know as I am in the same position, currently.

don't wear booties with a rubber sole, use fin socks instead.

Microwave!...STEP 1.. put finsocks in freezer,STEP 2... then pop the flippers in the microwave and set for desired time. STEP 3... then when they are done put on finsocks STEP 4... then put on flippers till you cant take the heat....then repeat if needed..HAHAHAAAAA!........cut a hole out for your toes!...uhhh buy another pair that fits? .......I think the oven will dry them out!
