I use kinesiology tape, because Lidl had a set once going cheap. It's waterproof and very, very adhesive. Usually I put it on trouble spots with shoes that rub (or aren't broken in) and it works well. I also taped up every one of my toes with it once, after I stupidly wore shoes too tight and blistered half my toes. Ouch.
@hugo7 places like timpsons have the shoe stretching machines, that can apply a lot of force over time.... but I had a mate try with a pair I had, and we couldn't get a whole size.

Wicked, thanks. I might even put it on the spot on my shoe which is rubbing.

I picked up the Church's brogues last week and they are absolutely beautiful. Also seem to be made of rock, especially in the heel area so I'm currently only wearing them around the house for short periods! That tape trick seems like a good idea too.

recommended technique for stretching just for width? I have a pair of Meermins that become painful after more than a couple hours due to my fat feet :(
I have heard of using a hair dryer, but that sounds like it could be risky...

Apropos of nothing, picked up another pair of Trickers from the Gloucester outlet store on Monday - leather soled shoes in a sort of DM profile. They are lovely and built like tanks but breaking in is going to be fun (lovely sore spot on my right Achilles tendon).
