Shoe stretching

It's amazing that I can have two pairs of 8.5 size shoes, but they can feel different. So, how do you stretch your shoes?

Re: Shoe stretching

My father used to have these shoe stretchers that he put in his dress shoes, but that was years ago. Perhaps you could try a shoe store or a shoe repair place? Not sure.

Re: Shoe stretching

Any place that repairs shoes will be able to do it. I do it a lot with heels, because I have wide feet and it makes so much of a difference to have them stretched than to get blisters breaking them in.

i usually will wear them around the house with big socks - it really depends on how bad the pain is. if its really uncomfortable than i would return them.

Re: Shoe stretching

The problem is that I have very wide feet due to bunions so really no shoes ever fit right. I guess I'll have to try the thick sock thing. I looked in BB&B for shoe stretchers but they only had shoe trees. Oh well!

my mother used to give them to my aunt to wear first..her feet were a little bigger.

Re: Shoe stretching

I bought shoe stretchers at Target in their shoe section. They weren't very expensive. And they have these removable attachments on them so you can stretch them for bunions.

They also sell them at Marty's Shoes, but they are a bit more expensive.

I would honestly just bring them to a shoe repair place. I don't know where you are located but there is a place in the shopping center near the post office in Levittown.
