    I've just bought some purple flats to wear on the evening reception, they aren't too big as my heels can easily slip out, but they're a bit tight round the toes and back. Any ideas other than wearing them in the house as much as possible, as to how I can stretch them without ruining them in 5 days?

    Thanks :)

    the stuffing option wins!

    Wear couple of pairs of thick socks and do the ironing in them for a few days. Helps your feet get used to shoe as well.. Thats what I did and they were fine for me when I was MOH in Spain 2 years ago, was wearing them for 13+ hours.

    Ironing? Whats that? :p h2b does that ;)

    They're wide fitting shoes anyway which is why I got them, but its the toes that are tight, but I called up a factory outlet near mums (going up there today anyway) and they have 7's in stock so going to switch them :)

    I'll just keep shhh about the potatos ;)
