stretching narrow shoes
Permalink Closed

I won a pair of *beautiful* vintage suede salvatore ferragamo peep toe heels.  They are (this never happens to me on ebay, btw) more beautiful in person.  And only $40!  I feel like I won the lottery.  The only problem is that they are a 9.5 AA- and I am probably a B width.  My feet fit into them- but it is not the most comfortable thing in the world.  Then again, I always wear flats and sneakers, so I am probably also not used to uncomfortable shoes.  I was just wondering if you think the leather will stretch out a bit after some wear.

Suede/leather will definitely stretch out after wear. It should be OK.

They should stretch some, but seeing as they're vintage and have been worn before already, they might already be stretched out.  If they don't loosen up as much as you'd like, a cobbler should be able to stretch them more for you.

They are gorgeous!  I would take them to a cobbler before you try to stretch them out by wearing them.  Honestly, I don't know if they will stretch out enough, if they even will at all.  If they've been worn a lot, that might be as wide as they'll get.  AA is pretty narrow!


 


Good luck, they are gorgeous shoes.  Even if you can't wear them, keep them just to look at them!
