I'm sure they'll stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-sneakers-fit#post-1796486 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 22:47:56 +0000 krishnidoux 1796486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I'm sorry about the Ecco. It's a good brand for narrow feet, so it's a downer that it should do this.&nbsp;</p> <p>Firecracker, I just realized I own those Mephisto in silver metallic! They never gave me any trouble though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-sneakers-fit#post-1796485 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 22:47:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1796485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Sterling says, I, too, put moleskin on the skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-sneakers-fit#post-1796474 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 22:21:42 +0000 Anonymous 1796474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I put moleskin on my skin. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-sneakers-fit#post-1796471 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 22:18:48 +0000 Suz 1796471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had the same problem with my new Eccos today. I often wear one of those blister preventing bandaids -- and should have done so today but because I had socks on, I thought I would be okay. No such luck. However, in the past I have found that this type of thing does "break in."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-sneakers-fit#post-1796466 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 22:01:44 +0000 krishnidoux 1796466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Firecracker, very helpful. Do you use moleskin on the shoe or on your foot? Inserts sound like the answer. And yes, I agree about the irony of it. I wasn't expecting to experience problems of the sorts with such a comfy shoe either, it's a surprise.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-sneakers-fit#post-1796446 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 19:32:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1796446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had similar problems with sneakers, and in the past they have broken in. My Mephistos were uncomfortable at the back at first, and I wore them with Superfeet inserts for at least the first several wears, which raised my heel enough to avoid the problem. Now I can wear them without the inserts, even without socks, and they are fine. My new Ecco sneakers rubbed my heels the first time I wore them, so I'm using moleskin with them. I may try the inserts with them, too--that might do the trick. I'm optimistic they will break in with wear, so that I can go without the "aids" eventually. It's funny--I rarely have this trouble with other shoes. You'd think sneakers wouldn't need to be broken in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-sneakers-fit#post-1796438 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 18:51:17 +0000 krishnidoux 1796438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I &nbsp;got a pair of Rockport Raelyn blue knit sneakers - fell in love. I wore them for a little while for the first time (inside my home) and realized that while this is an extraordinarily comfortable shoe, it also digs in the back of my ankle! </p> <p>I wasn't bothered at all when I tried them in the store and when I tried them on a few times with outfits at home. Only after wearing them for more than 30 minutes did I start feeling the pain on my achille tendons, right at the back of my ankle, as I walk especially.</p> <p>I tried to look it up and I see some people say that shoes will stretch and it will go away. Should I believe it? Or should I return them?</p>
