Ash jalouse boots - do they stretch much?

[thesmallestpotato]

I've got a pair of 4's and a pair of 3's to try, the 4's feel too big but the 3's too tight at the toe so not sure which pair to keep (if any)

Does anyone have any experience how much the suede is likely to stretch with wear?

Thank you :)

I have two pairs in different sizes like you. The pale ones are smaller and I wear them mainly in spring without socks. They stretched a bit. They bigger ones are black and the way they're cut at the ankle means they're hard to wear with normal socks. I have some fluffy M&S slipper socks (like trainer socks) I wear with them and then they are fine. Not sure if that's in any way helpful to you?!

what about insoles?

The 4's are so big they'd be OK with an insole as long as they didn't stretch at all, if they did stretch they'd be enormous, though an insole and fluffy trainer socks might work, thanks! I was hoping to be able to wear them without socks eg on a night out too but I might just have to buy a second pair for that

I can't understand how the sizing is so big, I take a 5 in most shoes

Ash sizing is often big.

Potato what did you do? I've just had a pair of 4 delivered. I'm always 4 but these are huge! I've tried insoles but they still feel big in the heel. Heel grips?
