Hey there!

So, I have been lusting after these shoes for about two years now.



I FINALLY received them for my birthday and I'm in LOVE. But....as always, there's one problem.

These barely fit on me length wise. My toe is very near the top so I know I can't take a smaller size. I can deal with this though, and the length is pretty comfortable. However, these are WIDE as hell! So, when I wear them, my foot slides from side to side and sometimes my heel slips out. I can fit almost my whole hand down the side when my foot is in them.

Are there insoles that will help stop this? That go side to side? I don't think the heel ones alone will help. I'm thinking I could stuff them with tissue paper on the sides, but tissue always works intelf out of the shoe on the dance floor. I can walk around in these fairly well, but I DON'T think I can dance in them without tossing one off! And thats what I really wanted them for.

Any ideas? I'm NOT returning them! I loves dem too much!

Hun I'm sorry I can't help with what to suggest but definitely do something about it cuz otherwise you will develop a large history of falling over like I have!! >_< Embarassed Hmm... maybe you could pad out the sides of in the inside with something?

Oh please tell me what kind of shoe they are!


I need some new shoes, as my old ones are literally in tatters and the only ones that I have that will fit my feet are crocs type ones which I refuse to wear any other place other than a beach.

If you can't tell... I'm desperate:(

My feet are practically square>.< lol.


I'm a size 4, but somethings I have to wear like size 7's if I want them to fit the width.

Maybe get some tissue and electrical tape it down to the side of the shoe? Ghetto pads? Not sure if they do side insoles.. Or you could use foam/spongey material and tape that down?

You could try stuffing lamb's wool in the sides of your shoes. It's worked for me in the past.

I was going to recommend lambs wool as well. Also I know Dr. Scholl's (and a brand from Nordstrom's called Petal's I think) has some "custom" insert that adhere to the show. I have a wide toe area and super skinny heel so i have to use the adhesive ones to build the backsides up a bit.
