NEED ADVICE - How much do kid leather Simples stretch???

[Lynn12]

I have purchased two sizes of classic black kid leather Simple 100mm and I need to decide which size to keep. How much do they stretch???

Should I keep the snug pair or the pair that fits perfectly right out of the box?

Thanks for any advice!!!!

lynn, my kid simples have stretched to fit perfectly. they were snug at first. i'd keep the snug pair unless they're REALLY tight.

personally i would keep the snug pair.. i think they will stretch.... you can always have them professionally stretched or sock trick them. shoes that become too big are more of a pain to pad and make fit IMO

Going against the crowd here -- if it were me, I'd keep the pair that fits perfectly. I have a couple of pairs of kid Simples, including a plain black pair of 100mms that I have absolutely worn the hell out of, and they haven't stretched much at all.

My nude patent Simple 100s stretched more than my kid Simples have. That pair fit perfectly out of the box, but over time got a tiny bit loose. I stuck a thin heel grip in (Foot Petals Heavenly Heels) and it solved the problem, and they're perfect again and very comfortable.

Personally i would keep the snug pair .. they will stretch with wear.

Depends on how snug...I have NS and they have stretched big time. They were initially a bit tight, but not unbearably painful.

I have a pair of 39.5 and a pair of 39. You and I are the same size and sometimes I mix them and cannot tell the difference. Over time they will stretch but if it is a 40 for you, I would say go with the 39.5.

I would go with the snug ones!

Snug as well b/c they will stretch. I had a pair of black leather ones that were way too big after a wear or two.

Another vote for snug. They do stretch ALOT!

I remember a shoe guy saying to me that shoes will stretch if they need to.
