I bought size 5 shoes when I'm a 6

Because this pair are from last year so I can't find them in store but I found them online on eBay and got them super cheap. But, they are a 5 and I am a size 6. As they were so cheap (under £10) I did buy them, but I'm wondering if anyone has any tricks to elongate them?

Fill freezer bags with water, put inside shoes, put in freezer. When the water freezes, it expands and stretches the shoe.

Thanks! I'll give it a go!

Leather stretch spray and 2 pairs of socks.

I used newspaper to expand some leather shoes once (just stuffed as much as I could in the toes). It worked. Intrigued by the freezer suggestion though!

I'm baffled as to why anyone would buy shoes that don't fit. It doesn't matter how cheap they are. If they hurt my feet I won't be wearing them.

It's no good.

You've just wasted £10.

Unless you are actually a 5 1/2. And even then it's risky.

Put them back on eBay. They will hurt and damage your feet. You won't wear them.

Speaking from bitter experience of buying green shoes a size too small because I really really wanted them and they didn't have my size. I brought them to two leather shops to be 'stretched'. Both told me while they could widen, they couldn't elongate shoes by a size or even half a size. I tried wetting them/newspapers/Vaseline/extra thick socks while curling my toes to make them fit. I even kept them under my desk at work and wore them when I knew I didn't have to walk anywhere (and I mean not even to the copier). They got so many compliments but in the end hurt my feet so much, I sighed with relief when I put them in the charity bag.

You will damage your feet.

It's not worth it.

Realist them in Ebay

[BusterGonad]

I think it's not worth risking you poor feet over £10! It's different if they rub a bit but a whole size smaller is insane!

Some shoe-repairers will stretch leather shoes. But once you've done that, if they still don't fit, you won't really be able to sell them on.

[burnishedsilver]

You can't stretch the sole. They will always be a full size too short. Stretching is great if they're just a little tight, not if they're the wrong size.

[Believeitornot]

Sell.

Buy shoes that fit.

Ok I'll get them and if they just don't work I will re list. I sell on there all the time so won't be an issue

When I say I'll get them I mean I'll wait to receive them - I won the bidding over the weekend now.
