Anyone have experience with Enzo Angiolini shoes? I bought these: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/enzo-angiol ... tback=2100 during the anniversary sale. I really like them, but my feet are wider just around my toes (but not wide enough to wear wide shoes) so these are very tight around the toes for me. Would shoe stretchers fix this? I have never had to use them before.. Or should I exchange these for a larger size even though the length of the shoe is fine? I bought these in size 4. Thanks!

I have a pair of size 4's on there. I feel the toe box is a bit snug too. I'll be posting a review on Fit Review later.

Are you finding them hurt to walk in?

Hmm...leather will certainly stretch over time from wear, but if they're really painful, you can try stretching them. I'm not to sure how the fabric layer on top will behave though. If it were me, I would take those to a cobbler and ask how the fabric will react to stretching. If the cobbler says it will be fine, you can either have the cobbler stretch them, or you can try a few ways yourself.

- buy a spray can of leather shoe stretcher, and wear them around the house after spraying.
- do the ol' bag of water in the freezer trick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf5mJ7aR2t8&feature=player_embedded

Because of the style, I fear that if you buy a size larger, you'll just end up slipping out of your shoe. Of course, you can always try slapping a few heel liners back there if that's the case.

Good luck!

I posted my review here, although I'll admit that I haven't taken them outside of the home yet.

The toe area is snug on me too, and just wearing it around the house has helped to stretch it out enough to be comfortable.

Thanks everyone! I tried the water in the freezer trick and that seemed to work pretty well.

Ice - cool!!! I have a pair of Enzo's also that are tight in the toe box and am going to try that! Thank you! Wait, is it okay to use this on suede though? I heard suede kind of expands on its own over time...If I do the ice trick, could it end up too loose?
