Try the Carolines - next to Uggs, they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn! Like wearing a pair of slippers! I wore a pair of CLs to work today - they were killing my feet after about an hour, so now I have my Carolines on :smile1: The Revas did not work for me at all. As for size, I think they are TTS - I'm a 6.5 and got these in 6.5.
 
Just got my first pair of Revas a couple days ago... I thought my pinky toe was going to fall off my foot. So here I am in my studio trying to break them in with a few layers of socks :)

Wish me luck :p

I was so happy when I bough my second pair of Revas... I did get the Reva Dorothy Crocodile print flats.

Boy THAT was a mistake! My first pair of Revas (plain leather), were hard ebough to break in, but the patent one is next to impossible!!!

They are gorgeous, but the patent leather is extremely stiff and it is literally cutting my feet open!

Take a look at the pictures of the front of my feet (you also should see the cuts in the back!) and the shoe in question. Sorry for the sorry state of my swollen feet ;)

This story will have a good ending (I guess) and that was because I did contact the Tory Burch customer service, they were extremely polite and helpful. They've emailed me a free UPS label to return the shoe to them (which I did). I am waiting for an e-gift card from them! Hope it comes soon. I will get them the Caroline flats. They seem better than the patent...

I feel your pain. My first pair of Revas were the black patent and they were soooo hard to break in. Finally after 2 years they are comfy. Several pairs of socks were worn for many hours around the house to speed up the break in. Since then I've bought 6 more pairs of Revas. They were leather not patent and they were broken in very quickly. One pair required "NO" break in at all. All I can say is I love the Revas but hate the break-in period. Good luck!

This is the reason I sold or returned every pair of Tory Burch shoes I owned. They were beautiful but ALL were uncomfortable, both heels & flats. For the price, the pain is not worth it IMO! I would rather put the money toward another designer shoe that does not have an extended break in period like YSL's.
 
I returned my Revas and got the patent Eddie bow flats, which are very comfortable and don't require any breaking in. Added bonus, I've never seen anyone else wearing them.
 
My Revas were killing my feet. I couldn't wear them even for 5 minutes. Trick with socks and hair drier didn't work at all. I bought cheap shoe stretcher ( which widen shoes) on ebay and it worked miracles :yahoo: Now I have comfy shoes without all this drama with breaking them in :D

That's good to know. As we approach Black Friday and the Tory Burch BF sale I have a pair of Irish Charcoal snake print Revas on hold. The material is similar to my black patent Revas and they "killed" my feet breaking them in. I expect much of the same with this new pair. Maybe I'll go the shoe stretch way instead of thick sock. THANK. :smile1:

It's worth every penny I paid for it :D It worked miracle over night without any pain or funny socks involved ;)

I pick my new Revas up Saturday. I'll wear them around the house and if there's any issues I'll be getting a pair of shoe stretchers right away. Of course if I got the shoe stretchers now I could make a few of my other 7 pairs of Revas a bit more comfy and for sure have no issues with my new ones. HUMMMM! :ty:

Hey, you never know, maybe this one will be super comfy for a change :smile1: Enjoy your new shoes. BTW you have a lovely collection of TB. I like your teal one with leather logo. ( at least they look teal on my laptop :smile1: )

Thanks for your kind words about my Tory flats collection. I have my fingers crossed that this might be the easiest pair of Revas yet to break in. I'll keep you posted

Thanks for the encouraging words about this pair being comfy right out of the box. You were RIGHT :smile1: I wore them around the house with socks the afternoon I got them and the next day after running my morning errands is slipped off my two year old classic Revas and put my new Irish Charcoal ones on. They felt the same. :D I'm so happy, thanks for wishing me the good luck!
