Do feet grow ?

Just got a fabulous tan soft leather DEE Two bag in store which I know will look great with a pair of boots I  got myself in the sale last year (still in the carrier bag at the bottom of the back bedroom wardrobe).Looking in the mirror and deciding what to wear with them ....tried on the black jeans and new jumper....great...now the boots....too tight !!! So I changed the socks I was wearing to a thinner pair ....too tight !!! Tried pop socks with the boots.....still too tight !!! Hang on how can a pair of boots I bought 12 months ago be too small....impossible. I remember buying them and I'm sure I tried them on...did I try both boots on? ...maybe....not sure now...can leather boots be stretched? Hmmm......what a waste of money. I promise to learn from experience and never GRAB a bargain .....hang on just checked on the internet...YES your feet do grow as you get older......so that has scuppered my bargain boot buying from now on. I could end up going from 5's to 8's in no time. Back to the boots and bag ...decided to wear them as they are gorgeous...but only wear them to and from a restaurant...I call them sitting boots 🤣😂🤣
