Wear the shoes with the heel height that is comfortable for you. How do I break these things in? If shoes are too tight you can stretch them a little by using a traditional shoe stretcher or any type of cylinder like a vitamin bottle that fits snugly in the shoe. Place stretcher or cylinder inside the shoe and let it dry over night. You may have to do this twice. Put on a light sock the first couple of times to allow it to stretch without the ouch! With the shoe off bend the front part of the shoe almost in a rolling action up and down.

This makes the front part of your shoe more flexible so when you point it is easier.
