What made me think about his is I have a new pasir of shoes and my toe
in one spot is too tigtht. There was a stretch spray liquid i cant
find and was wondering what household ingredient would be in that.

Sounds like Neatsfoot Oil

http://www.davidmorgan.com/leathercare.html
The majority of leather dressings are based on tallow or neatsfoot
oil. Tallow, even kidney fat, contains salts which build up with
repeated dressing and attack the leather fibres. Neatsfoot oil
compounds, long recognized for damage to sewing, also weaken and
blacken the leather. Both these animal fats provide a culture for the
growth of bacteria and fungus, and turn rancid, resulting in further
attack on the leather. The more liquid formulations also evaporate
quickly, leaving the leather dry and open to rapid deterioration by
oxidation and mechanical break down.

you are interesting. I am too tired to type much but thanks!
