    I have a pair of SAS too. They felt great the moment I left the store. When I went to another SAS store recently to purchase another pair (have had my old ones for two years or more) the lady told me that the other store sold me men's shoes. She said that particular store does that sometimes. I was shocked thinking I had been wearing men's shoes all this time. But you know, she did me a favor because they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I might add that 34 years ago I had surgery on both feet that did not turn out well. I have had difficulty purchasing shoes that I could wear until I got SAS.

    I just have to THANK YOU so much for this tip. I have two pair of expensive loafers that I have had for over two years and have not been able to wear until I tried your tip. I did one pair and when I finish wearing them I will do the other pair.


    THANK YOU!!!

    I was going to put them in the Salvation Army bag but now I have two brand new pair of shoes I can actually wear.....

    I did that trick to a pair of moccasins that I had (way long ago). They fit like a wonderful glove after that. I wore them out that summer....

    Was talking to my friend and she said she does that to all her shoes, even the cheap ones, and none of them have come apart, she even did it with suede shoes - she showed them to me and they looked ok - I thought they would be water marked or something, and she said so far none of her shoes have fallen apart as I asked her about the glue question.

    I am diabetic as well, and no issues from doing this with my shoes.

    Happy it is working out for you all...

    as a kid, I had horses too! When we bot a new pair of jeans - we'd jump in the water trough, then let them dry "ON" us. Jeans always fit like a glove. (These were the REAL manly jeans back in the early 60's) not the weanie jeans of today..... lol ! thanks for bringing back that memory!

    I love it, borntoquilt!! Our Wranglers always went to the dry cleaners for a good press and starched seams! I tried that when I first moved to Kentucky. They had no idea what I was talking about and told me they couldn't do it... :(
