I enquired with EG about a refurbishment that would include a relating from E to F, but EG refused and offered to stretch them instead. Sounds strange to me as C&J have been very accommodating in relasting to different widths (and even sizes). Anyone has experience with this with EG?

On SF other posters have said that shoe factories can only recast width downwards not upwards, so, based on that I’m not surprised EG said this. Stretching can make a big difference however.

CJ always caveats too that it may not deliver the desired results. I've had them relast a half size down, but never asked to go the other way

Is there any extra charge to relast a size down versus what a normal resole by EG would cost?
