Dankso/Sanita Break in period?

[amberfnp]

So after several years, I finally decided to spend some $$ and buy some Dansko clogs. None of the stores in my area had the color I wanted so I ordered online. After waiting 1 month due to backorder, I'm a bit disappointed as they are too tight across the top of my feet (the right way worse than the left). The length seems fine so going up a size may not be the answer, and I do not have wide feet. I have read that these type clogs can take a while to break in but as they are now, I can barely manage to wear them around the house for more than 30-45 uncomfortable minutes.

Will they stretch with wear? Should I take them to a shoe shop and have them stretched?

Thanks for any advice! I've only worn them in the house in case I decide to return them.

I have navy blue sanitas and they were fairly comfortable when I bought them . Wore them for 4 hours the first week and then they fine.

since these shoes are all hand made, each shoe could be a little different. they do eventually stretch. I think all my pairs were a little tight at first. Just keep trying to wear them, maybe with thicker socks if you can, and they will fit great soon! I hope you love them as much as I love my shoes!
