    i wouldnt have thought that satin will stretch im afraid. ive worked in footwear retail for years. they tend to go a bit lumpy if you try to stretch them.

    a good tip for leather shoes if anyone is interested is to rub a little blob of vaseline onto the insides, stick your foot in a bit til it warms, its softens the leather and makes them easier to stretch out.

    cant help you with satin though, sorry.
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire
