b) adhere moleskin to the heel of your shoes where it is chafing, moleskin is extremely gentle & gives an extra layer of protection to your feet.

a) condition the heel of the shoe really well with leather conditioner/saddle soap to soften the leather and make it more flexible

Cut a tiny piece of duct tape and put it on the back of your foot. Works flawlessly. No one even sees!

I’ve tried various tricks to stretch/break in my Bass Wendybird loafers as well but none seem to work. Such a shame.

i worked at a shoe store- the can stretched considerably (if u dont have a stretcher use a broom handle. or put soft pads in the back

Hmm… I have this problem with other shoes. I recommend putting a big band-aid on the heel of your foot so it doesn’t rub your skin off.

Also, a woman who ran a vintage shop once gave me this advice. Fill ziploc bags with water, seal them really well and put them in your shoes. Freeze them. The water will expand and help stretch the shoe out. I’ve never actually tried it though.

Whenever I break in new running trainers I use “Band-Aid Active Friction Block Stick” to avoid getting blisters. It might work for you too!

put blister patches on your heels when you wear them. i did this when i was in brussels with all the walking and it works. HTH

the wrong size maybe? I find putting bandaids at the back of my heels helps a lot when I’m breaking in shoes.
