How do you make tight shoes not so tight!!
Any tips? I'm having a nightmare getting comfortable shoes fro work and spent a fortune on yet another pair at the weekend but they damn near crippled me today. I bought some spray stuff that is supposed to loosen them but it aint worked so far!!! Help! Surely being size 8 and female isn't THAT un-usual!

Stuffing them with damp newspaper is supposed to stretch them although I can't say that I have tried it myself.
You are supposed to use the spray along with the shoe stretchers that you can buy, see here

If they are leather, they will stretch but you can give them a helping hand by dampening them and then squeezing your feet into them while wearing a pair of socks (as thick as you can) and wearing them until they dry
Or if you have a friend with feet a size or half size bigger you could get them to squeeze their feet in - i used to do this for my mum!

You may have solved your problem by now but I had the same problem and someone told me to put freezer bags in the shoes, then fill with water and tie securely and then pop the shoes in the freezer. The idea is that frozen water expands and would thereby expand the shoe - I tried it and it worked! Not fabulously as the shoes are still a little tight but not as tight as before.
