Would you buy a pair of shoes a size to small?

[LynetteScavo]

If they were in the sale at 1/3 of original price, and they looked fabulous on, and you would only wear them for the occasional night out. And obviously your feet were really hot and swollen today, and on an autumn evening the shoes would fit perfectly.

Yep. Just wear them around the house with socks for a bit to ease them off a bit.

Look up Chinese foot binding and give that a go.

I might. Agree about wearign with sock but (if they can take it) it's best to wear them with vaseline on any potential rubbing spots after that too.

I've done it - I wouldn't recommend it.

A full size too small? No

Not worth being, sore uncomfortable and damaging my feet anymore than they are

Really? Why?

I was assuming they're a shoe that come up big, so more a 1/4 size too small and the actual 'right size' being too big. Is thta not right?

No

absolutely not

No. I can't bear tight shoes and wouldn't last even an hour in them.

I have done this in the past to grab a bargain & it was awful - no idea why I did it as I hate having uncomfortable feet!

No why would you. It would be agony.

No. I can't bear uncomfortable shoes, no matter how nice they look. They would be a waste of money.

How silly.

No, I'm not daft.

No, years ago i got a pair of shoes that were a size smaller because i thought they were fine at the time. I wore them around the town and was literally in agony. When i took my shoe of i had bruised my toes and my nails were black with bruises.

Blimey You're a sensible lot, I'm very impressed! I've done it a couple of times, op. If they're leather and you wear them a few times before you go out, there's a fighting chance that they'll stretch. If they're not leather then no.

no. You will regret it.

I think pictures of said shoes are necessary for a complete and unbiased debate.

No, it would be stupid. If they're a full size too small there are no circumstances in which you WON'T be hobbling around in pain within a couple of hours.

No.

Hell no. Dh says he'll either either divorce me if I do it again or make me walk home. Divorce would be preferable after the last time - I still have the scars. although I'm still blaming dancing all night on a slate floor rather than admitting it was my own fault

Have done (half size too small) baaaaddd idea.

Sat in wardrobe for several years now happy gone in with the bags to school collection.

No, life is too short for uncomfortable shoes.

I can't find a link, but they were leopard print mid heal and looked much nicer than they sound. They were actually only a half size too small ( 40 instead of 41) . I didn't buy them, but was thinking of going back to the shop tomorrow......

Leopard print heels are certainly A Good Thing but I bet you could find some that fit properly for the same price.
