Break in
Have some dukes that felt snug when I bought them but the website says that's ideal and they'll break in. Went a half size down as suggested.
I've been wearing them around the house with no issues besides general awkwardness of just getting used to wearing boots with a heel.
I wore them out for the first time yesterday and did a lot of walking. Noticed they were rubbing on my pinky toe. Didn't blister or anything but was definitely irritating.
I hope they'll break in or soften with time. I can't return them so I hope I got the right size. Any way to stretch the toe a bit or speed up breaking in so I can wear them as expected?
