tried and tested tips for stretching shoes??

I haven't treid this [disclaimer]

but ....

I've heard that stuffing potato peelings into the toes of your shoes overnight will stretch them!

I also have really wide feet, what I do is wear shoes round the house with increasingly thick socks - looks ridiculous but sometimes helps. Having said that I've never had much luck with non-leather shoes. Mind you at least they feel less tight when you wear them without the socks!

GMT - ummm that's a random one lol. Might save that til I'm desperate but thanks lol

Elise - good plan. Will dig out H's footie socks!

If they were leather I'd have suggested a leather stretcher spray which works quite well however I will also vote for the thick sock option. If that doesn't work have some blister plasters in your bag ?

Youve read my mind!!! i need to stretch my shoes for a wedding on friday... gonna do the moist newspaper and airing cupboard trick tomorrow xx
