stretching shoes

I bought really cute leather ballet flats. When I tried them on they seemed ok. Now the fit is tight. Any tricks to stretch them out. I love them and want to wear them.
thanks

They have these shoe horns you can put in the shoe for a few days and it stretches them out. My dad has them and I used them once on a pair of boots. It worked pretty well.

This is going to sound a little weird but stuff them with newspaper. My Mom gave me this trick I thought she was losing it a little until I tried it. It worked for me.

Re: stretching shoes

a lot of places will stretch them for you. For example, Nordstrom will stretch out the shoes that you buy from them. Ask the retailer too.

Wear two pairs of thick socks and walk around the house. That usually works for me. Good luck!
