    I got a GREAT deal on some leather ballet flats and a pair of pointy toe flats. They felt fine in the store (of course) but I've worn BOTH pair one time and they are tight on my feet. How do I get them to stretch without giving myself hammer toes? :lol: Is there something I can do at home or do I have to pay and take them to the leather shop? I thought of putting on my thick socks and walking around the house but I don't want to stretch them all over just around the top of the foot toe area (hope that makes sense).

    how long ago did you buy them before you actually wore them? if i'm not mistaken, under certain climates/temperatures leather can shrink some until you stretch them out..

    you can do the thick socks thing, or possibly take them to a cobbler and have them stretch it for you :dunno:

    try these links for help as well: stretch 1

    stretch 2

    I wet some old newspaper and scrunched them up and stuffed them into the front of the shoe and left them for a 24 hours. That works really well.
