I am going to wear them in the house today to see if they soften up as suggested. If not, they will go back on Monday because they have been in the closet far too long.

Wedge hit tops. annaj on "Cons - do they stretch?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cons---do-they-stretch#post-956522 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 08:36:33 +0000 annaj 956522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Suz - I think they soften, rather than stretch. I have 2 pairs of regular Cons, and the rubber toe section always feels quite stiff and tight for the first few wears, but now they feel much softer and I wear them almost daily. If they are only a tiny bit tight, I think they will be fine!

"Molded" might be the best word for it.  Anonymous on "Cons - do they stretch?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cons---do-they-stretch#post-956427 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 03:20:29 +0000 Anonymous 956427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My Cons...lace up and slip on that look like lace up without the laces... have not stretched in years of wear.

If it's just the plain canvas, try wetting it and then wearing them around the house.  Tanya on "Cons - do they stretch?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cons---do-they-stretch#post-956116 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 22:14:15 +0000 Tanya 956116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very cute shoes!  In my experience, canvas shoes stretch very little if at all.  But maybe you will be lucky and they give a bit with some wear. Sheila on "Cons - do they stretch?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cons---do-they-stretch#post-956111 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 22:02:18 +0000 Sheila 956111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My Cons have not stretched a bit...have worn them 10-12 times. Mine are the traditional lace-up style, possibly that makes a difference as they are made out of canvas with a rubber sole, etc. Yeah, no change at all.

The toe box is just a bit too snug but maybe they will stretch enough bj1111 on "Cons - do they stretch?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cons---do-they-stretch#post-956079 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 21:08:35 +0000 bj1111 956079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Give will be only a touch...not like leather.

I bought these cons (my first cons) a while back and was going to return them - have no idea why - too trendy? really I dont know. I just tried them on again and geez they are so cute. So they fit well but the toe box is a tiny bit narrow. Not enough to size up because they would slide off. I am wondering if the cons stretch a bit with wear? If yes, I am busting them out of the box today, wearing them outside, so I can rid myself of the ability to return them. If no, then I am afraid they need to go back
