I have a pair of size 9, black, pigskin, thigh-high 5" stiletto-heel boots. These are very snug, with a zipper at the ankle and laces behind the knee.
But there is a problem here!
These boots are fine in their length, but they are too narrow across the toe. The only store in town that carried them buys all their stock from the same place, and every one of their boots (in both 9 and 10) had the same problem, so I did not have a lot of choice here.
Now i have already had a cobbler stretch the toe area a little, but it is still uncomfortable.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to stretch them some more so that they fit more comfortably?
I am also having some difficulty balancing in them while walking. This is my first set of 5", as I am accustomed to 3-4" heels. Any suggestions on how to correct this? I think it may have something to do with the posture and length of strides I am trying to use, but I am not sure. And I don't care to look like an idiot while walking in them!

And if you're short like me, it'll take you 3 min. to travel 3 feet.
after wearing them becomes comfortable, standing in them will be your next major step, and if you've been walking short distances, this shouldn't be hard. stand for a few minutes to work on balance, then try walking a few steps. stand again. after you master this, try walking from one room to the other, working on balance first, then grace. eventually, you'll be able to walk gracefully, but i'd say definately practice for 5-10 mins twice a day until you get it, then keep practicing atleast once a week so you won't lose the ability. as for stretching it, try putting a small apple or potato in the toe each night after oiling and rubbing the leather to make it soft.
