Repettos may stretch a little as they don't have the same kind of construction, but it's too much of a risk. Thin leather can also get too thin.<br /><br />Like several people here, I've ended up with boxes of not quite right shoes. It's been a huge investment and lots of wasted money. If they aren't right to start with, return them.Moyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04137525108195236454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-63327485192158778282009-09-20T14:14:02.614-04:002009-09-20T14:14:02.614-04:00Thanks for the Quoddy link, Erica...their online s...Thanks for the Quoddy link, Erica...their online store seems more accessible now!

I don't know about the sizing - I would say send them back and try to find another pair one size up. I've not had luck stretching soft thin leather shoes.evenclevelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338164103202396208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-24923896100720017792009-09-19T22:54:04.562-04:002009-09-19T22:54:04.562-04:00Yeah, Repetto thinness really gets to me, as does ...Yeah, Repetto thinness really gets to me, as does the perpetual under-sizing, and I too think you should get the most perfect size possible without counting on your wearing them in. I have too many shoes languishing in the back of my closet for this very reason. Ack.<br /><br />I love Quoddy shoes! They're incredibly "americana," especially the men's styles. Arrow Mocs also makes really great custom shoes similar to Quoddy styles.Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452583530345157340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-10756900771921078412009-09-19T21:36:51.576-04:002009-09-19T21:36:51.576-04:00i will look into the stretcher, romaine. the thing...i will look into the stretcher, romaine. the thing with the zizis is that the leather is so soft and thin already, i wonder whether stretching would work as well on them as with the derringers. <br /><br />i'm going to try on the 40.5s in black at the tannery tomorrow (if they have it) and see if i should exchange them instead.ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414537639917539473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-71505415372213767912009-09-19T21:11:07.032-04:002009-09-19T21:11:07.032-04:00when i stretched my derringers, the shape change w...when i stretched my derringers, the shape change was not noticable. Also, with my stretcher, you can spot stretch a section. it can't stretch a whole size, they are just for stretching a tad. i would recommend going to a cobbler too, though the ones were i live are ancient and seem to get in just work boots. When i took in my regular everyday shoes to be resoled or redyed, they didn't deliver on what i wanted.<br /><br />i just thought if they shoes were a bit short in one spot a stretcher would be a great solution for this situation. they were for me when my shoes were a bit snug in one spot.romainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905339808423156305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-67243213734585691112009-09-19T20:14:34.476-04:002009-09-19T20:14:34.476-04:00oh erica!!! i sadly agree with your partner. retur...oh erica!!! i sadly agree with your partner. return them if your foot is pinching when you walk...<br /><br />1) you are hurting your feet by attempting to stretch shoes with them...and <br />2) you are destroying the shape of the shoe through this "stretching"...<br /><br />OR<br /><br />you can go to a shoe store...and have them stretch the shoes...they have the spray plus the wooden shoe things...<br /><br />OR<br /><br />find someone who lives in france or who is going to france soonish.. who would get you a pair...<br /><br />oh i know how much you wanted these babies...anyway tough decision...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04049943168027678461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-80929955515379511232009-09-19T18:23:12.278-04:002009-09-19T18:23:12.278-04:00sounds like time on a stretcher might do the trick...sounds like time on a stretcher might do the trick if they are just a tad short. i was able to stretch the width of my r.c. derringers but stretchers can lengthen too. i got some fairly inexpensive stretchers from the internet for about 20 bucks or so. <br /><br />the zizis are soooo cute.romainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905339808423156305noreply@blogger.com
