Bought a very nice pair of loafers today. Suede, made by Coockson.
I've got some crockett and jones shoes in 8,5.
The loafers are a bit to loose so I have choosen for the 8. Now my left toe hurts a bit. The shoe fits very tight. Will this become less after say a month or did I made the wrong choice?
Thanks for your reply.

Its a natural material so it should stretch a bit.

It will stretch a bit more but your options are:

1) Stretching solution, sold at any reputable shoe repair outfit
2) Get the shoe repair guys to stretch it for you.
3) Wear thinner socks.

I think it will probably stretch a bit.
