Try putting them in the freezer with gallon bags filled with water filling the shoes. The ice will stretch the shoe as it freezes. I've used it with heels and flats before -- it can't hurt to try!!
Never heard that one! It makes me crazy to think of a $50 pair of shoes just sitting in the closet, I will definately try it! Thanks

They do run small. She is wearing either a half or a whole size larger than her normal size.
. They did not appear to have any support whatsoever and they were shaped like my father's dark brown corduroy bedroom shoes.
