there was a hilarious skit done a number of years ago on Saturday Night Live around a trashy old performer dressed in spandex type material and she kept pulling up her pants and talking about her camel toe. It is making me smile just remembering it. Dont know if I am dating myself with this reference. But it was just too funny. Can't think of her name, I am not good at that, but it was one of the old regulars.
Love CLs, have bunion -what to do?

I bought some Laponos last week and found them far too tight in the toe box. I took the advice off here and wore really thick socks and forced my feet into them then sat and watched TV. It wasn't very nice for the first half hour, but after an hour or so they were perfect !
I've also just bought a pair of shoe stretchers for £12.99. I haven't had chance to try them yet as my friend grabbed them to put in her shoes first lol
They do look like they'll work well. Maybe you should give them a try ?

MsFrida,
I'm glad someone else understands the pain. I thought I had broken in the Yoyos but that was when I only wore them for a couple of hours.
aeross,
Thanks for the tip. I've been googling shoe stretchers. I did get the name of the cobbler in London that CL recommend so I might take the patent ones to them as I am going up next week anyway. I might well invest in some shoe stretchers for some of my other shoes. I have some non CLs which are rarely worn because they start to pinch across the toe box after a while. I'll give the stretchy thing a go with these.

You girls are funny!Mrs Peel ~ I've seen a shoe stretcher that had rounded attachments that you could screw into whatever side of the stretcher to widen it just a bit more where necessary. It was a wooden one, try your local shoe repair, they usually carry them there.
I have a pair of shoes stretchers w/bunion attachments, and they've worked wonders. I haven't had to use them on any of my CL's yet, but I used the bunion thing on my Manolos (Blixa), and it made them into the most comfortable shoes I own. I got my stretchers for around $15 at Off Broadway Shoes.
OMG - i had to download the song from itunes...I work with a woman who wears her pants wayyyy too tight and there are a couple of us who just die watching her....I am soooo playing this tomorrow for my friends at work! Thanks Laureen!
You could also see a podiatrist to see if there is help for your feet. Bunions are tough since they normally involve surgery. But there might be some foot products to recommend.
