Hey,
I recently bought a pair of loafers, but I'm quite unsure if I should keep them or exchange them for a half size up. They fit well in the heel, but the front towards the toe is just too tight. I'll absolutely need to go by my cobbler and have them stretched. Also, I do have issues with bunions after wearing too tight shoes in the past, so I won't be able to "naturally" stretch them by wearing them until they'll reach a comfortable point. Sizing up brings another issue, the heel will get a bit too loose. I've heard that breaking in the shoes might help reduce heel slippage, but I don't know. Won't breaking in to them make them too big? Perhaps putting in a 1/4 leather insole?
Loafers are just a pain ********** to fit right. Doesn't help that I have wide penguin feet with a small heel.
Thank you in advance.
