Shrinking suede gloves?

I bought a pair of suede gloves online last year and they're a bit big for my hand. I noticed they shrank a little once when they got wet. They looked terrible after getting wet, but using a suede eraser and brush I restored them. Would it be crazy to try turning them inside out, soaking them in hot water (or even steam?) and then putting them in the dryer to shrink them?

This sounds like a recipe for disaster.
