Hey Guys,

I bought some dress shoes, Lambertson Truex's, and I swear they fit perfectly in the store. Maybe I was bloated that day, who knows. Either way, is there anything I can do to get them a bit more snug around my foot? They are not loose at all, just not snug.

Thanks!

J

Take them to your cobbler and have them modified to fit like BoO.

Or just return them and buy shoes that fit properly. I have tried cramming insoles and heel pads and other odd contraptions into my shoes to make them fit, and it never works out well.

And for future reference: This is a dumb thread.

Put an insole or orthotic in. I swear by this method. You may find there's a bit of extra room in the toe, but at least you'll be wearing them and they won't be coming off. The insole will be nice and soft as well
