Some fashion heeled styles are made deliberatly narrow so they pinch the toes. If I get a pair like that, I force them out with a wooden former, the shape of my toes, and they fit perfectly. I never stretch shoes with my feet so I'll never end up deforming my feet with bad shoes. This stretching technique is really only suitable for styles with closed uppers by the way. You'll probably ruin courts/pumps like that |
