Dance shoes too big! :(?

I'm a swing dancer and recently ordered some Aris Allen white canvas sneakers (specifically for dance) from their online store.





I went out dancing last night, and after about two dances it became obvious that I had ordered a size too big. However, now the company won't accept an exchange because the shoes have been worn!





I will probably go try to find some insoles to take up more room. Any other ideas?

You need to go to a local shoe store with professionally trained staff (not high school kids) to get your correct shoe size. Then, you can buy from there or online with more confidence. Be forewarned that not all shoes having the same size will match 100%, due to the materials used, the shoe style, where it was manufactured, etc.





P.S. When ordering ANYthing over the net or from walk-in stores, make sure you know their return policy (keep in mind that if you have to pay shipping costs to return an item, you will be losing money in the long run!). You might be better off asking the manufacturer where you can get their product in a store local to you; conversely, ask your favorite shoe retailer to order the shoes for you (if they sell that mfr's shoe, then they will be more than happy to do so, and the fit will be more accurate).
Reply:stuff a sock in the end of both shoes! I had to do that once!
