Is there a way to STRETCH shoes?

Hi girls,

I just bought the most incredible pair of shoes on ebay - I just got them and they are a little too small for me.

They are satin - is there a way that a shoe person can stretch these at least half a size? Anybody had any luck with this?

Thank you - I am determined to make these beauties stretch!

Definitely bring them to a shoemaker - they will tell you how much they can stretch them

i've used shoe stretchers ... not sure what else to call them.
you stick them in your shoes - they have a spring/coil - and they stretch the shoe. they are actually my dad's so i'm not sure they'd work with a more slender shoe.

I have heard shoe stretchers work more for width, than length, but I haven't tried it.

you can also stuff them with socks or towels and let them sit for awhile


OR try wearing them with thick sox or several pairs

I've used them too-more for width though--they might have them for length though! they work great!

This post made me think of this song

Men Don't Change, by Amy Dalley
He was a bad boy and I was a good girl
He needed me to smooth out the edges
He'd get his drink on and flirt with the ladies
After two years of his crap I quit begging
I'm a magnet for the fixer-upper man
If I know it's fire, why do I let it burn my hand

Cupid works for the devil
Be suspicious if he cries
You know sex is usually good
Yeah, but it ain't always right
Chocolate is a band-aid and no matter what they say
Shoes don't stretch and men don't change

My friend Lisa, she loves a liar
She found about his other girlfriends
He makes excuses so she forgives him
She swears she's gonna leave if he screws up again
But he's good looking, that's why she don't see
He's got her exactly where he wants her to be


(Repeat Chorus)


I just met a brand new guy
So far so good
I hope he don't change at all

(Repeat Chorus)
