Shoe Stretching

[durulz]

Is it possible to stretch non-leather shoes?
I know you can get shoe stretchers, but I vaguely remember hearing that you can't stretch non-leather shoes.
And, predictably enough, I want to stretch ones that are not leather.
Any thoughts/ideas?
Oh yeah - and since I don't have any shoe stretchers, does anyone have any other good ways of stretching shoes (without wearing them)?

I've worn trainers etc for paddling in the sea and they always seem to fit much better when they dry out again, so maybe soaking them and walking about followed by drying would work? Or maybe just wearing them with extra spcks for a while ?
