Shoes too Big

    I bought a pair of shoes that are slightly too big for me and wondered if anyone can help with suggestions of how to make them fit properly. I know in-soles do the trick but is there anythign else. I just bought them on such an impulse buy on sale and they are non-returnable!!

    Any suggestions will help.

    thanks.

    If the shoes are slip on, try Scholl Heel Grips €3.50. They stick to the inside of the back of the shoe and stop them slipping off. Make sure and leave them at least 8 hours when you stick them on first. Hope it works for you!

    Definitely agree with this. I got some high heels a while back and they fit fine in the shop.. first time I wore them out I almost broke my neck in town falling over cos they were slipping off. Got some of those heel grips and voila! Perfect fit now :D

    Get some tissue paper and gently stuff the toe (not too tightly or you'll end up bruising your toes completely and magnifying the problem). You'll need to try it a few times to get it right. When you think you have just enough in to fill the gap, walk around in them for a while and your foot will shape the tissue. Always works for me, though perhaps not a very long term solution. I always find that those heel grip things come off on my heel after a while.
