Hi everyone,
This is my first post on Style Forum!
I recently became interested in owning a pair of shell cordovan shoes (partially from wearing shell cordovan watch straps and loving the material). I bought my first pair on eBay (great deal) and put them on and they unfortunately feel a bit tight.
I bought plain toe bluchers in ravello brown with the Barrie last. I tried on a shoe with the Barrie last once and found that I needed a half a size smaller, but also my foot slipped in it a bit and I thought I could go for a little less wide too. I also wear "11 C" Allen Edmond Strands so I thought that a little narrower than average was about right. The ones I ended up getting were AA/B but I think when I ordered it I thought it was just plain B. Now I am worried they are too narrow. I've never seen C in Alden and I thoguht B was the only narrow shoe I could find, and it seemed like too good of a deal to pass up, but now I am wondering what I should do.
I guess my question is, will they stretch to accommodate my feet at all? I can move my toes and my heels are right but in the middle, at the widest part of my foot it feels a bit snug. Not impossibly snug, just a little bit.
Unfortunately the seller said "returns not accepted" on eBay. I can plead with him and see what he says but in the case that he won't accept a return, does anybody have any recommendation? I wonder if I should re-sell on here, or re-sell on eBay, or if there's a way I could have a cobbler stretch just the center part of the shoe. Does anybody have any ideas?
