Is there anyway to stretch out shoes?... read details?

Question

I just bought a pair of Coach shoes on ebay. They matched a purse I got 2 years ago... I've been looking for them forever!... so I couldnt pass them up. They are 1 1/2 sizes too big. Is there anyway I can stretch them out? They're a tennis shoe... kinda made like keds. Please help me! Thanks

sorry... I was in a hurry to post the question... made a boo boo

they are 1 1/2 sizes too small. width is fine... the length needs the stretching out

Answer 1

If they were leather, you could stretch them maybe a half size, but definitely not 1 1/2! But it sounds like you got the coach shoes that are the fabric logo print...I don't think they're going to stretch at all. Hopefully you can sell them or have a friend they would fit!

Answer 2

Don't worry about it! I'm 17, 5'3" and wear 8.5 and sometimes 9 depending on the maker and people have made fun of MY feet, but I'm a female so of course the sizings are different. Anyway, big feet aren't fun to have and unfortunately for you, you can't make them grow any larger. Also, you're only 16, most continue to grow into adulthood, maybe 20. My parents are tall and I was told I'd grow to 5'7" and you read that that didn't happen. :P Anyway, if it comes down to it and you REALLY want bigger shoes and your feet don't grow, you could always fill the toes of your shoes with something.

Answer 3

If they are too BIG, you don't want to stretch them out! If they are 1 1/2 sizes to small, then you've got a problem. You may be able to wear them wet to stretch them out a little, but you're not going to be able to do anything about the length of the shoes, just the width. Save yourself some grief and time and just relist them on e-Bay!

Merry Christmas!

Answer 4

1 1/2 sizes too big? why would you want to stretch them out? They do sell these wood blocks that are shaped like a foot.. they come with screws and you twist the screw to make them widen out... but they can only make about a half size difference. You cant stretch shoes that much.. and even if you could.. it wouldnt be good for the shoe, it would weaken it and make it more prone to fall apart.

Answer 5

do not wear them.....simply because you should NEVER wear shoes that are too big or too small, because when you wear shoes that are too big, your feet will grow BIGGER, trust me i know, and when you wear shoes too big you'll start havin all kinds of problems with your feet, THATS WHY I HAVE TO GET SURGERY ON MY FEET NOW........so just sell them to someone to get your money back, then start searching for anothe pair, THAT FITS.......dont give up, you'll find another pair.....or you could just find a pair that has the same color in it, like if you have the coach bag with the brown print, try findin a shoe that has the same color brown....BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO MATCH TOO MUCH, BECAUSE THAT IS TACKY AND COUNTRY..........
