I've got something like this. Leather shoes stretch quite easily, leave it in for about a week, but manmade are not so stretchy

Do you know if you can get little ones? These shoes are a childs size 8.

Thanks again, Rachel xx

I once was caught in a flooding with my car and we had to push a couple of cars to the side of the road in the wet - I had on new tight shoes which ended up soaking wet and I was walking in them - I then came home and stuffed them with newspaper and left to dry - they were the correct size from then so if you are really stuck - stand in a basin of cold water/warm even and then when they are completely saturated and you are sloshing about - walk about the garden for a little while then stuff with paper!

Yes definitley. My Mum used to stretch all our shoes when I was young, not too long ago! This is the only one I can find right now, but we also had smaller, cheaper ones - where the wooden parts were instead made of plastic, and the metal coil was instead a flat metal band. I can't see any online unfortunately, but you can probably get them in a department store or shoe shop.

Hi Guys

As the title suggest I have a pair of leather shoes that are pinching me a little. Does anybody have any ideas how I can stretch them by tomorrow?

Thanks
