Nordstrom's does this and it worked wonders for a pair I own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-comfort-experts-question-for-you#post-103946 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:46:04 +0000 chewyspaghetti 103946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they are leather it can be stretched, but if it's synthetic I'd take them back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-comfort-experts-question-for-you#post-103944 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:15:40 +0000 Maya 103944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends how stiff the leather is. My Ecco flats rubbed my big toe bone at first, but they are soft and supple so I kept them and they have stretched reasonably well. On the other hand, shoes that are extremely stiff and inflexible don't stretch no matter what and can potentially cause some pretty agonizing pain by the end of the day. I find this to be most true of patent leather. I have seen soft patent leather, but for the most part it tends to be much less forgiving than matte leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-comfort-experts-question-for-you#post-103943 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:49:31 +0000 Kristen 103943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might also use Bandaid's Blister Block as you stretch the shoe out. It works as a thin waxy cushion between you and the shoe which cuts down on any friction. </p> <p>Also, what Ele said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-comfort-experts-question-for-you#post-103942 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:40:10 +0000 Ele 103942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my experience, it really depends on the leather and styling of the shoe. I've had shoes that did that and stretched out after one or two wears, and ones that never did. </p> <p>Is the leather soft and supple to the touch? If so, it will likely stretch out and be more comfortable soon. If it's got a binding or stitch line near the edge, though, I'd pass. Those kinds of shoes almost never stretch out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-comfort-experts-question-for-you#post-103940 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:34:16 +0000 agrace 103940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of ballet style wedges that are perfect looking and perfect for my MOTG lifestyle (low wedge heel that is heavy rubber and the front of the shoe is a black shiny sort of snakeskin look - practical and cute - perfect!) but where the shoe touches the top of my foot it rubs it. I've heard Angie and others here talk about how irritating that can get to be to the foot and I know that is why many here love the Me Too shoes. I really like these and just wondered if by any of your experience - does this eventually go away as shoes stretch or is it likely to stay? </p> <p>they are new and I am house testing them but if they will stay like this then back they will probably go. </p> <p>Thanks all! </p>
