Does anyone have experience upsizing shoe trees to stretch a new pair of shoes to break them in or to increase their width?
I typically wear an E but this screws up my sizing since it essentially translates to 9E or 10D in most lasts. Would using a large shoe tree on a size 9/9.5D (which feel tight on my toes) to stretch them be a bad idea? I've done this on a couple pairs so far and it seems okay, but is this process bad for the shoe?
