fifilafolle Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 help? please?? my boyf bought me some Jimmy Choo Juliet's (see http://www.jimmychoo.com/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=39839 only mine are white satin) and they were just wonderful. Until....I broke my foot at a friend's wedding which has resulted in some permanent swelling in my foot, making one of the shoes becoming unbearably tight across the toes. SO, now I need to stretch them, just across the straps that go over the toes. ideas please ladies and gentlemen as I would be devestated if I could never wear them again!

polyya Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Hope your feet goes better, to break one its a serious problem. maybe you have to wear sport shoes for some time. Be careful until your foot works again like they are new. If you don´t take good care of them maybe you´ll not be able to wear heels never more so take your time and guive the shoes to the best shoe repair to fix them for shure he´s going to guive you the bes solution but i think it have an easy solution. good luck
Dr. Shoe Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Satin (or any textile) is not the easiest to stretch and some repairers will say no but another might be able to do something. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
t-strap lover Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I broke my big toe on my left foot 18 years ago. Its crooked and slighty bigger than it should be. Like you I have trouble fitting into several shoes. Here's what I have learned to do... Wear shoes with a round toe. sandal or closed toe. Stay away from really pointed toe shoes, they will kill your foot. Try a size larger and get inserts or pads. Try buying leather shoes when possible. they stretch better. I also rub a gell on my feet when breaking in a new pair of shoes. I bought a can of rem gun oil spray to help stretch my shoes. It seems to help. Maybe some of this advice seems a little silly but it works for me. Adapt to your problem and your shoe wearing will be endless. I hope I have given you some good advice. UPDATE: I just went to the web site you listed. For 465.00 dollars for a pair of shoes I can see why you are upset. Forget the gun oil since you live in London and go with an oil lubricate spray. I wouldn't recommend using anything on high dollar shoes. t-straps are my favorite style.
