Me, too. But I just shove my feet in there (and pour a bit of isopropyl alcohol in there if they are really, really tight) and go. I am determined to just stretch them out!
The alcohol trick works on leather shoes only. And if you wear black hose/socks and do it, expect your feet (and nail polish) to be black when you take your shoes off.But overall, it will help you stretch them a bit for the post-baby sized foot.
