I wouldn't bother hunny. My friend used to stretch her shoes and now suffers arthritis at the age of 25 :(

I've used a blow dryer to make it hot then stuff it with socks haha. I don't know if that's a thing. But it totally worked! Lol.

I have never done this, but I have heard you can fill a plastic, ziplock bag with water. But the bag inside the shoe and stick it in the freezer. The bag of water will conform to the shape of the shoe but when it freezes, the water will expand and in return, the shoe will expand as well.

put moleskins on the places where it is too tight/rubs and wet them (so they expand) and wear the shoes as the moleskins dry and the shoes should loosen up in that area.

my favorite way is to buy shoe/leather stretching rubs/sprays (I think saddle soap may work also since it is used to soften leather) and then you can wear the shoes around or stuff the toes with crumpled up news paper for a few days. I normally use the leather stretching spray + newspaper.

I also sleep in my heels and wear them around the house whenever I can. I've heard that wearing thick, wet socks help... but I can never be bothered


Hope these help!
