Too narrow so the toes wont get all the way in. Due to that i cant zip up the zipper at rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thighbootguy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It's hard to tell from the picture, but could a cobbler (or you) open the toe box area? I have had some open toe shoes that I didn't care about that were too small in the toe. I used a dull knife to split the top of the shoe from the sole, where the material comprising the toe box is attached. There was enough of the toe box material to let me enlarge the toe box and have it hold when I re-glued it. Another option would be to have a cobbler add some extra material (elastic) on the side if the zipper. The poor fit is a shame as they are great looking shoes. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedeheeler Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well. I will work out a solution on my little problem. How it will be solved? No idea, but it will be solved somehow. But it dont takes the chain saw or blow torch to solve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are not real leather, you might be out of luck. I have managed to stretch quite a few open toed shoes that fit me about the same as what you show in your picture when I first got them, using a device like this: https://www.amazon.com/Footfitter-Premium-Stretcher-Womens-Large/dp/B00C32K12U/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1485911410&sr=8-6&keywords=high+heel+shoe+stretcher Some of them have actually become some of my most comfortable shoes after being stretched in this manner. While I have not had 100% success using this method, I bet I've had 80% success. The trick is to be patient and stretch them slowly, perhaps for a few days. If you stretch them too quickly, they will just break. Just stretch them gently for a few days--just enough to be able to get them on, wear them for a while, then decide exactly where they are too tight. Then you can use the bunion plug thing-a-ma-jigs to stretch them exactly where you need. Good luck!

No idea, but it will be solved somehow. But it dont takes the chain saw or blow torch to solve it If the uppers are synthetic (as is likely, probably polyurethane), careful application of gentle heat (hair-dryer) may allow you to increase the width if you can open up the fronts with a wooden wedge or similar (such as the stretcher suggested by mlroseplant).

bailey Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The other day my wife was checking out one of the sites that I order some of my shoes from. She then asks how come I did not order any for her. So I said to her that I was not sure what she would like but if she wanted to save some on my wishlist to go ahead. Yesterday she asks me if I ordered any of her shoes. When I checked out her list it contained well over 15 pairs! After some time she narrowed it down to one pair for now and a summer dress that she can wear on vacation. With this I saw the "green light" to order myself another pair. Hers are the teal colored ones and mine are the mary janes. Its great fun shoe shopping with my wife and a little extra cost is well worth it! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bailey Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The site is lollicouture.com. Their sizes only go too 11us and they are getting down on the availability in those sizes. If you wear a 10 you will have a much larger availability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never too early to start practicing ducking when going through doorways. That will come in handy with those heels. Remember to go slow when they get here.

I once bought a pair of sandals made by ItalianHeels. The length of the shoe was perfect and true to size (EU45) but the toe box was way too small/narrow. I just left them in the box after trying them on once - what a waste of money But I think, thighbootguy had some good ideas for your shoes. That might work as well for my sandals..... Did you consider cutting away a little bit of the "white parts" - that might open up the space for your feet a little bit and could be simple solution. However, it will change the design and it might not look very professional ..... Anyway, I hope you will find a way to wear these beautiful heels in comfort...!
