    Default Wide feet and platforms SUCK!

    I have wide feet. I have to get my platforms a size larger to compensate and punch in a few holes on the strap to make it tighter. Why cant they make them a wee bit wider???? Sure would be alot more comfy! Anyone got this problem, and what do you do to make them fit better?

    Lots of girls use a blow dryer to heat up the plastic, then stick their foot down in it to "mold" it to their size. Try it.

    I have this problem too. I buy the right size and suffer, usually. I just bought new shoes from Pleaser and couldn't get my foot even halfway because the strap that goes over the toes was so tight. I cut it lengthwise along the toes to make it narrower and it really worked. I also use Dr. Scholl's odor destroyers spray for women and it really helps with putting the shoes on.

    The straps on Jante shoes are always too loose on me, so they may fit you better. A lot of their shoes are more pointy in the front, but they do have some that are more square.

    Yeah,I hear ya. My feet are long,narrow and arched.
    Most shoes aside from tennis shoes are uncomfortable and don't fit me properly.
    That's why I always get shoes for work that have straps.
    One time I tried wearing '7 inch platforms that were a little to big for me and had no strap and one came off on stageI had to fumble to put it back on and almost fell over because I had the other one on and I almost fell on my ass.
    I was really embarrased but thankfully, nobody noticed. If they did they did not say anything about it.

    Mine are wide and flat. So I have to get a size bigger, plus they have to have a strap or else they'll slip off. I have a pair of pleaser boots though, and they fit perfect.
