Boy's size dress shoes can work? But will not be good stuff la... Possibly bata etc. Being serious n no offence here.

Combination of tongue pads and insoles will help. I'm not aware if any local cobblers have tongue pads in stock though. I'm interested to know as well if there are.

I bought a couple of those tongue pads from eBay and I can spare you one. Drop me a pm.

My shoe tree from taobao arrived. Ordered size 40 for my Loake UK 7 but the shoe tree seems to run big and it cant fit the whole thing in. Sigh. Anyone wanna take over from me?

I'm assuming you mean that even after compressing the shoe tree fully it doesn't fit into the shoe?

From my experience it should fit. I have shoes from meermin, yanko, Ed in UK 7 and a size 40 shoe tree fits all of them. For some of them I think a size 41 shoe tree would still fit.

But if u need alot of strength to oush in means it will stretch the shoe. Will it spoil the shoe?

Seems more than anything that you got wrong size. Not saying it's your fault.. Just that the seller might have done poor qc on his goods.

I don't think will stretch the shoe la, but I'm no expert. Once I pushed it in the shoe become very structured and the creasings at the vamp is gone. I think because those good box calf is very firm, it should be hard to push in.

If yours really can't push in at all, I think the qc wrong ba, as darth mentioned.. I think taobao got put the length of the shoe tree in the description, you might want to double check and see whether it's the correct one.

Agree with QC issues. Received a pair of shoe tree that fits perfectly in one shoe but not so much in the other.

That is a problem with taobao sellers.

Both pairs also cannot fit? Dont force it in, it should fit snug but fine. The seller has a size dimensions chart, better double check to find out the real size. Daigou now got free agent fee, too bad u missed it or returns would be much easier lol

My wife managed to forced it in for me but super tight. I think its because the front part of the shoe tree is too big, length wise is ok

Can use screwdriver to tighten the front part of the shoe tree so it won't be that wide.

Some would say this is a good problem to have.
