    Hi everyone!  I ordered my dream wedding shoes in 2 different sizes, but because one foot is smaller than the other, neither pair fits exactly right.  In the bigger size, my heels are slipping out of the shoes when I walk, but in the smaller size, one shoe is uncomfortably tight.

    What do I do?  They're satin, so I don't know if they'll stretch.  Do I keep the smaller size and hope they will, or do I keep the bigger size and add inserts, heel grips, etc. to make them fit?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    This may seem like a silly answer, but could you keep both and wear the smaller size on your smaller foot and the larger size on your larger foot?

    I know it kind of sucks to have to do this, but it is your wedding.  Why don't you jsut wear the mismatched sizes?

    That's a good idea, but since they're really expensive, I can't afford to keep both pairs :(

    Satin won't stretch. I'd keep the larger pair and put a shoe petal in whichever pair is too big for you so your foot won't slip forward.

    I absolutely hate to say this, but if it is really slipping I might find another pair of shoes.  The small pair will be very uncomfortable and won't stretch.  If the big pair is too big for a heel grip to help, then you will also be uncomfortable.  I have a very narrow ankle and have this problem with dress shoes all the time; I find that slingbacks are much better for me.

    I would definitely keep the larger pair and put a gel pad inside or something.

    I would go with choose bigger and get the gel pad for the pad of your foot. It should help a lot and they'd be a HECK of a lot more comfy!
