Will they stretch? Please reply!

Ok, I bought some new shoes today (ones that I have been hunting for for a long time!) and they were a bargain! £12! haha ... anyways, there a wee bit tight, but heres the weird thing:

*there is a small gap at the toe part
*i can fit my finger at the back if I push my feet forward
*they are relatively easy to slip on and off (meaning if they were too tight then surely they'd erquire some force ye?)

So I don't understand why they feel a bit tight-ish? *confused* anyways they are patent pumps (which I think means they are made of plastic?) anwyays, my mum and my friend reckon they'll stretch a wee bit, and my friend also said that her shoes usually feel a bit tight when she first puts them on but then they stretch ... so any ideas on how I can stretch them?

(I am already wearing socks with them to stretch them a little bit lol)

Thanks xx

or stick a spud in each one for a few days(raw of course don't think mashed would work)

yes im serious, works for me just push medium size spud down towards toes, give them a few days and job's done, but not to big that it distorts the shape of the shoe or jam them up by the heel depending on where they are to tight
