New shoes too tight

[linz]

I bought a new pair of nude pumps that are patent leather. The part around my toes is super tight and gave me blisters the first day I wore them. Should I try going up 1/2 a size or will they stretch? This is the first pair of pumps I've owned and the sales lady said they were the right fit, even though I questioned if they were too tight when I bought them.

Return them. Don't let people coerce you into buying things you know aren't right, particularly shoes.

Stretching accomplishes very little, you won't get anywhere close to a half size.

I don't think patent leather stretches much. Leather/suede, a little bit, yes. Patent? No, probably not. Return them.

Hmm. I have worn a pair of shoes that were too tight the first time, but they were fine after that.

Where did you get the shoes from? Do you know what their return policy is like?

If you can't return them, you can always try this trick:

Patent is notorious for not stretching.

Agreed. It will not stretch. Buy a new pair.
