And neat about the can trick. I need to have some shoes stretched and found suggestions to place them in the freezer with a ziplock bag full of water; as the water freezes, the bag expands and stretches the shoe. I did not try this at home! (First, no space; second, I'm a germaphobe). I was thinking of taking my shoes to be professionally stretched by a cobbler. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pewter-bootsstretching#post-1442967 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 01:04:04 +0000 Kari 1442967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, bettycrocker, it can be annoying. My instep has grown more sensitive in the past couple years. I hate pressure in that area, so I've given up on boots and shoes that have seams in awkward spots or tight instep fits. I kept finding awesome looking pewter booties that were way too narrow in the instep to be comfortable; wide width shoes are wide in the wrong part, so that doesn't work. I was so glad these stretched out perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pewter-bootsstretching#post-1442962 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 00:52:57 +0000 Travelgal Nicole 1442962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice work and way to stay patient and find the perfect boot.&nbsp; I really like these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pewter-bootsstretching#post-1442960 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 00:50:47 +0000 Anonymous 1442960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad it worked out for you.

I wound up with these Diba booties. They are a darker, more distressed pewter in person. Nice structure, soft material and low heel. Double zip makes it easy to take on and off. </p> <p>Many reviews recommended sizing down so I did, but the size down was uncomfortably tight at the instep and heel (though roomy in the toe, which is typically my trouble spot for pointy toes.) By that time the size up was sold out. So I managed to stretch the instep and heel by packing a soup can in a clean sock into the foot lying sideways, and another upright can wedged into the heel. Half a day was enough to stretch the shoe so it's comfortable to wear. </p> <p>Diba Women's Full Steam Pewter Boot <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CT9YN30/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_EvWZub1TTJ9PA" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C.....Zub1TTJ9PA</a> </p>
