Went to chat to a mate at Timpsons, and got free Dominos pizza. Checked the local charity shop next door on a whim. They price shoes nice and cheap, and sell them quickly (unlike their shirts and other men's clothing).
Picked up a pair of black cap-toed moccasin/loafers by Moreschi. Online suggests that Moreschi is made for Russell & Bromley.
They're in US9.5, I'm UK 9.5 (or wide 9), so doused them with the shoe stretcher spray and put them on the stretching lasts in Timpsons.
Usually you should get them on those stretchers and check them daily, applying more spray and increasing pressure, careful not to split the leather. Hopefully overnight is enough, since it's just a bit of tightness around the little toe.
Will try to take photos of the shoes on the stretching last in case anyone is interested.
