Okay, so I have this pair of pumps that are super cute. I'd like to be able to wear them with a new dress for a couple of date nights soon. My shoe size is a very true size 9, but when I ordered the shoes, the reviews said they ran small, so I bought a 10 (there were no half sizes) and they're too big. They're past the point of being returnable, and that's my fault. Anyway, I have to walk very carefully in them to keep them from flipping off the back of my heel like a flip flop. When they flip off the back of my heel like that it makes me feel very unstable and almost like I'm going to fall when my heel tries to go back into the shoe. I've worn them out once (just to dinner) and almost fell in the parking lot because of this.

So, do the bees have any tips for making slightly too big shoes fit better? Or are these shoes doomed to sit in my closet unworn?

Get heal inserts, little foam stickies that you stick on the inside of the heal.

@brenda.m.fields:  Thanks! That's what I was thinking about doing! I'll have to pick some up next time I'm at Walmart or Target.

Stuff something soft into the toebox of each shoe.  (Tissue, a hankie, cotton, etc.)  It will have to be just the right amount so that the room that is left in each shoe is just the right amount of room for your feet.  And... it has to be something soft so it doesn't hurt, irritate your toes.

@2ndtime:  That's brilliant. I never even thought of that!

@LittleRiver:  Oooh thanks for the help. I have some Dr. Scholl's for her inserts in a pair of boots that was uncomfortable and I remember when I put them in it did make them fit more snug. 

@brenda.m.fields:  I actually picked up some of these today and they helped!
