for your consideration about stretching and in particular suede.
i once talked to a shoemaker and he noticed that the shoes i wore, not suede, are a bit stretched. nothing to worry but noticeable for an expert. i assume that the chances are given that either the shape is affected and the material/construction has to "suffer."
as you already asked, it would be great, if somebody with first hand experience chimes in and my/your/our concerns get charmed away.
