Rowley Squares too small ...

[reginald]

ok, this may sound stupid but maybe someone could help me out ...

i got the squares on eBay for 40 euros in size 9. i always had my shoes in 9 (e.x. emerica reynolds 3 and others) but those are way too small for me. and i cant walk them in, cause even walking in them hurts...

is there any way how to get new shoes a lil bigger? maybe someone of you had the same problem with the squares ...

i read somewhere a while ago that you can stretch shoes out by putting bags of water in them and chucking them in the freezer... water expands when frozen, hence stretching your shoes out too....

but i dont think people are too psyched to have a pair of shoes in their freezer....

in the future try not to buy shoes online without first trying them out at your local skate shop....

yeah i had the same problem with those shoes. luckily they weren't drastically too small and i just through them in the microwave for about a minute, loosened right up and skated perfectly. good luck.

that sounds good ... but i guess my parents wont be too psyched when i put my shoes in the microwave ... i mean; wont the microwave smell like brand new shoe then?

if not im deff gonna try this!

shoes have different sizing, even wiyhin the same brand, i'd buy reynolds 3 in 9.5maybe even 9, but the sqaures I had were 10.5 and they were still pretty tight. so:

swapping out the insoles a possibility? if it is, then try doing that to let up some space for your feet... 

or try to make the best of a situation by selling them off....

get them soaking wet then walk around in them till they dry...they should stretch

although they're probably synthetic, right?  synthetic materials don't stretch much

Squares fit super small, microwave is your best bet.
