Pixiewoo Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I know this is a ballet based forum but need some help! PLEASE! DD has bloch split sole tap shoes which are a lovely soft leather ... but after a year of wearing, they have stretched and are just too big around the foot! She can't pull the laces any tighter and insoles haven't helped! Any suggestions or do I need to buy a pair in a smaller size! ( as I suspect her feet have just about stopped growing, so she won't grow into them! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking if you were able to soak the soft leather, then dry using a hairdryer or leave out in the sun. As they saying. Nothing to lose. 🤞🏼 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
