Stretching the Stripper Shoe.


It seems that a lot of women have trouble with the shoe and the fit. They have trouble with the part that goes across of the top of the toes being too tight. This can be a problem. In the club the girls had a neat trick. They would take a hair dryer to the plastic part to heat it, thus making it more pliable, then slip a socked foot inside (the sock prevented the skin from burning) to stretch out the shoe. They would wear it for 15 or so minutes while the shoe cooled and then repeat if necessary.
I recently had a client who had a problem where this part was too big. If it stretches too much that is where the payless shoe pads come in handy, but make sure you super glue them in or they will move around too much. These Tip Toes are a bit more pricey than payless but, same concept.
It seems that someone needs to come in and make these shoes a bit more comfortable, but in the meantime just shop around until you find one that fits. Try them on in the local store and find a brand you like and then order them online to save money.
Good luck ladies!

Ok, I tried heating the shoe w/ a dryer and its a little better :-)

Toes are a bit tight but not like before,it's much easier to slide my foot in the shoe. I didn't want to stretch it too much.

Thanx a million!!!!!!

Fantastic post Kimberly!

Now I think we can use a post on how to walk with the 6' platform shoe without twisting the ankle. I notice this happens to me when wearing "the shoe" but not with my regular pumps.

Hey Linda J. ..Well, practice, practice, practice...and try boots, they give more ankle support always. Even the pros stumble every once and a while.
