Hi Bees
So I wouldn’t say I have the largest ankles in the world – but I just brought the pretties purple heels with ankle strap for the big day AND THEY DON”T FIT! By like hmm 1 cm or so.
Any ideas to make them bigger, or do i rip them out and put some other sort of ribbon-y strap-y thing in it’s place??
Other idea was the just sew on top of the strap that’s alreayd there with some beaded purple or gold ribbon?
*ghah* no idea but I’m feeling fat ankled right now!

Can you just punch an extra hole in the strap? Or is the strap itself too short to fit into the buckle? Pics of the shoes would help!

If there’s room punch a hole, or if it is a vinyl-like or leather material you could try heating it with a hair dryer and stretching it

Yelp your closest shoe/luggage repair place and have them take a look at it. Most places can punch an extra hole or they can add elastic to the buckle strap.

@kagan1042: A good shoe cobbler can remove the current strap and replace it with a strap that is longer.
