New Shoes

x(

I looked everywhere for a comfortable pair of suit shoes to wear this semester. I finally found a pair of Naturalizers at Dillards which seemed so comfy in the store- squishy insoles, they were great. I wore them tonight and thought I was going to DIE before I could get to my car. They smushed my little toes and rubbed blisters on the bottom of my feet. I called the store about taking them back, but if there are any signs of wear they won't take them.

Now I'm stuck with a $100 pair of shoes that I can't wear. Is there anyway to stretch out the leather so that they don't hurt my little toes? I think insoles will help with the blisters. Argh. . . I hate wasting money!!!!!

I think you can buy these things that are actually called "shoe stretchers". Here are a couple options from Footsmart.com:

Maybe these would help you. I know how awful it is to get a new pair of shoes and then, after wearing them a while, find out they just don't fit right! Hopefully some shoe stretchers will make them fit better.

You may want to take them to the shoe repair shop. They have a machine that stetches them slowly. I have read that it is effective.

Thank you for your suggestions! I stuffed them full of toliet paper last night, but I don't think that's going to do it
