i bought some gorgeous bridal shoes in the January swwales that match my dress perfectly.....however at the end of Jan i broke my toe ( which has healed fine) but my shoes now do not fit!! I took them for my fitting yesterday and couldnt bear to wear them for even 30 mins.... The worst thing is my mum bought them for me, not mega expensive but i feel guilty about not fitting in them!! So my query is, do i try and stretch them, or admit defeat and buy another pair ( get married in 8 weeks) Any ideas would be fab, or if anyone has successfully stretched satin shoes????? x x x x

never heard shoe stretchers but to save some pennies you could give it a try.... relatively low cost compared to buying new shoes

jo is your shoe stretcher a wooden one? h2b just got me something called shoe trees in wood but not sure if it is a shoe stretcher.
@ rach, jo is right try first with a stretcher cause it could work its magic

A shoe tree is designed to keep the shape of the shoe when you store them rather than stretching them

You can do the sock thing but the shoe stretcher does it without it causing you any pain or sore bits.

I have a good remedy for stretching shoes.. it maybe an old wives tale but it WORKS!!

Get some dampish news paper... scrunch it up.... and put lots of it in the shoe.. leave for a copule of days
and bingo... ya shoes are stretched a little!!

Thanks ladies will try!!

Liann is right you local key/shoe shop will stretch your shoes for you, normally takes 24 hours and is quite cheap too.
