found these things for pretty cheap...
SHOE STRETCHER from Taylor Gifts
I have the same problem and usually just 'suffer' with the pain until they are comfortable. Some shoes just never get comfortable. I have a beautiful pair of patent leather loafers with chunky heels that I paid a good amount of money for and Ive had them at least 4 years now, they look BRAND new because essentially they ARE!!! I NEVER wear them bc the few times I have, they won't stretch out!!!
I only wear leather shoes too pretty much since a) I won't pay the money stores want for man-made shoes, $70 for man made flats??? I don't think so! and b) leather stretches and wears well, last longer and c) Ive seen the feet of my girlfriend who only wears man-made shoes and her skin looks like its rotting off her feet. Its painful to see, never mind to live with!
