patent leather shoes, wwyd

So I bought these shoes

 

from nordstrom online, they were having a huge sale. They're the Cole Haan Nike Air pumps, orig 248, I got them for about a hundred less than that. They didn't have a size 7 which I ordinarily buy so I bought a 6 1/2 -  I should wear a 6 1/2 wide, but the wide width is not always an option (they didn't have wider sizes with this shoe). So here I am with these beautiful shoes that were a super good deal. But they're a little snug in the toe box area (more so where the opening is rather than where the end of my toes are KWIM)

You can stretch patent leather right? I am sitting in my office looking super stylish with socks on with my heels trying to stretch them out. I don't really want to return them, because they dont have another size I could switch it for.

  • Can you warm them up with a blow dryer and then put something wide in the toe box to help stretch it out?  Obviously not right this second.

    BTW, super cute!

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I second Jenn. I *believe* my mother has done this before, however I do not remember the results. It sounds like it would work though
