The Lazy Gal's Way to Stretch that Toe Box
Pads, liners, grips, strips, blocks that I use with my CLs. Hope you find these helpful! Feel free to add your tips. I know what works for one person doesn't always work for someone else, but I feel if there anything I can do to make wearing my CLs easier, I am all for it.
Pads given by SAs to be placed in the ball of the foot area of the shoe. My purpose of wearing them is not primarily for adding cushion, but to prevent the foot from slipping forward.
Grips given by SAs to be placed in the heel of the shoe to prevent the shoe from slipping off. I have put them in my wine Yoyozeppas.
Foam pads given by SAs that I place in the ball of the foot area in shoes that are a half size up. Pushes my foot up and back for a better fit. I have put this in my blue suede Declics.
Footpetals brand strappy strips that I put on slings to keep them from slipping of my heel. I use these in my Numero Prives.
Dr. Scholl's for Her and Band Aid Blister Block
I use the Dr, Scholl's for Her (forgot the name, bought from Target) on the straps of my Activas to keep my toes from pinching on the sides. I apply the Band Aid Blister Block everytime I wear my CLs. A tip I got from an SA is you can use deodorant as well and both diminish friction between your feet and the shoes.
An example of what the Dr. Scholls strips look like when applied:
Airplus pads--I like these because they are thin. I put these in my Rolandos since the toebox is already narrow, these keep my feet from sliding forward without the bulk.
Dr. Scholl's For Her Heel Liners: I personally prefer these over the ones given by SAs. I use them in my tortoise patent and nude patent VPs. They do get gooey when being worn. They are made of the material someone referred to as "breast implants."
