After wearing Ferragamos for awhile, I'm used to the comfort and asthetic of it, I admit Revas aren't as padded or have any arch support at all, but surprisingly it's comfortable! I do notice that my gold and dark brown ones have softer leather and are more comfortable than my navy and orange ones.

I have the same problem before. When i first wore Reva,the metal medallion is pressing into the top of my big toe. It hurted badly and i stop wearing them for a few days . Then I started wering them again everyday. They are feet-friendly and comfy now,however,at the end of the day i still feel the pressure from the metal medallion on my toe. Anyway, i still love Tory Burch Reva, though it hurted me occasionally. LOL

I am SO heartbroken.:crybaby: A few weeks ago I ordered the TB Reva's in Gold from a lovely online store, www.cricketsshoes.com, and they came quickly and were packed beautifully. I took them with me when I traveled to DC 2 weekends ago and wore them most of the day Saturday. My feet were killing me by mid-afternoon!

I haven't worn them outside since, but when I came home from work today, I put them on thinking I should wear them around the house for awhile to soften them up or stretch them out or whatever. Well, its been about an hour, and my dogs are in pain! It feels like the metal medallion is pressing into the top of my foot right at the bottom of my big toe. Yikes! These shoes cost almost $200, I love them (would even buy them in another color if they felt good.) Since I've worn them outside already, they do have some scuff marks on them and I wouldn't dream of returning them.

I wear 8.5's or 9's and these are a 9. My foot isn't too wide or too narrow. I don't have bunions. Shoes usually fit me pretty well. Help!

I had this very same experience when breaking in my Reva's. It takes forever! You would think for the price they would figure out how to make them a little more comfortable:)

Hey Beth001,

I know just how you feel. I bought a pair of TB reva flats and the first day I wore them the hurt my feet so bad that I had to soak my feet that night! My shoe size is an 8, but when I tried these on in the store the were too tight, so I went to the 8.5 which was a little tight, but manageable. LOL, but they will stretch out in time, so don't get discouraged!

You can use a shoe stretcher to speed up the process.
Also, you could wrap your toes esp. the small toe with cotton bandages. That help me a lot on the first few days of wear.

I hope this helps :D

I have 6 or 7 pairs of Revas and after a long day of wear, they all eventually start to dig into my heel. However, I still love the look and for the most part just grin and take it. As if a lesson was not yet learned, I also have 2 pairs of sandals, the newst of which I a wearing today and hereby deem the most perfect fitting and comfy of the bunch. The other pair of sandals fits wierd, but are oh so cute!

Mine too! :crybaby: The front part hurt me like hell during my first wear. I specially bought a shoe expander to break in. But after breaking in, the elastic band at the back became loose. Now it kept slipping off every now and then when I walk. I gave up and never wore it again. Sigh. :sad:

I have a pair of revas that are the most painful shoes I own. They were my first pair of Tory Burch shoes, so I was reluctant to return them at the time, hoping they'd break in. It's been a year and they still hurt...

On the plus side, I find the Eddie flat super comfortable, and I have a pair of espadrille flats that are very comfy, although I did put an insole in it. I recently got these flip flops though, from Nordstrom, and the footbed is just hard as wood. I just ordered an insole from Amazon, hope they help.

I took a pair a nail scissors and made a tiny cut in the elastic at the back to it so it was not so tight and now they are not as uncomfortable. They are still so cute looking

I just bought my first pair of Eddies. They certainly aren't as cute as the Revas but what they lack in cuteness they make up in comfort. Comfort right out of the box as compared to days/weeks/months or years of breaking in with the Revas. Who am I kinding, I love them both :smile1:

I should have figured out the reason there are seven million Revas for sale is because they're NOT comfortable, but noooooo, I bought anyway.

In defense of TB though, I think that hellish elastic in the heel is the culprit for discomfort in any brand.

This morning I "fixed" my Revas and now they are like wonderfully comfortable bedroom slippers. It's not a pretty fix, but I hated them so much I didn't care if I "killed" them. :smile1:

I took a razor blade and made a few cuts inside the shoe in the suede lining and then took a cuticle scissors and cut the elastic. I had to make several cuts because the elastic wasn't sewn uniformly so it wasn't free to cut. Hope that makes sense.

I love them now, but will never buy another pair. It shouldn't be necessary to do this to expensive shoes.
