well everytime i get a new pair of flats that rub, i buy these little pads that you peel off the basck and stick to the heel of the shoe, and they really help. but about the toe, if it hurts pretty bad i usually put a band-aid on the toe that rubs. and just bend you feet in the shoes alot to break them in.

They might be too small if they're rubbing on the ends of your feet. I would take them back and ask for a bigger size, but if you're sure they're your size you can buy rubber insoles at most shoe stores. Then just wear 'em all you can! And be nice to your feet...rub them down with a pumice stone and some body lotion after wearing your shoes.

Take a pair of nylons saturate the feet in rubbing alcohol then put slippers on. Do this with only nylons or you May make them too loose. It doesn't take long to stretch but do this the day before you use them. This is for any leather upper shoe. Good to know for Wedding Day!!!!

Wear them round the house whenever you have the chance and put thick plasters/gauze on the places where they hurt. I wouldn't advice wearing socks with them or anything much thicker than thin tights [unless that's what you're going to wear with them when they're broken in] as this will stretch your shoes meaning they are too big for you when they're broken in.
Good luck.

wear them more
this is what i'd do to stoop them rubbing on my ankles
- wear a pair of thick tights
the tights will act as a cushion for your feet

Maybe you bought the wrong fit. Next time try a wide. And always try the right foot first for comfort.

Wear them with socks on. That'll stretch them out where you need. I like the look with socks.
