I called customer service and they said a lot of costumers use a blow dryer but they gave me a better tip…they said take a golf ball and put it under that area that needs to stretch, this is a common place of the shoe that needs to stretch.
Check the shoe in 3 days and if not stretched enough do it for another 3 days. Worked perfectly, the golf ball did the stretching for me. No pain. I called customer service and explained my big toe is longer then the other toes and my feet are narrow. They suggested sizing up due to the length of my toe. It is worth noting that my other pairs of Tieks do hurt my feet after a particularly long day.
Specifically, they put pressure on my big toe. I truly think this has more to do with me and my weird toes than the shoes themselves. But it is an issue for me and if your big toe sometimes hurts from too much shoe pressure, it might be an issue for you as well. Even my beloved Lovestruck Tieks caused this pain the first time I wore them. I recall the day vividly because it was the day Rob and I got engaged. We were in Chicago and I was just excited to finally wear my new shoes.
I had no idea he was going to propose that day nor did I know how many miles we would end up walking. By the time we arrived back at our hotel sporting my newest accessory , my big toes were both in a lot of pain and I had switch to sandals when we went out later that evening. This question is easy. No pair of Tieks has ever hurt or dug into my heel no matter how much I wear them.
This is one distinct advantage they have over the competition. All Tieks have a cushioned back, which allows them to sit gently across your heel and Achilles tendon. The answer to this question is no, Tieks are definitely not supposed to hurt. The very first pair I ordered was a pair of Lavender Snake Tieks.
I adored the print, but for some reason, this particular pair was way too tight around my toes and they hurt so much! I exchanged them for a Mustard Yellow pair of Tieks and the new pair fit much better.
I have since talked to another teacher who purchased the same pair of Lavender Snake Tieks and hers fit comfortably from day one. Perhaps it was just my pair that was a poor fit. Or perhaps she sized up. Either way, she was a very happy customer. I was pleasantly surprised to see that women with plantar fasciitis have found comfort wearing their Tieks. I can wear these all day and my feet are good, I have a high arch and plantar fasciitis so my feet hurt easily.
I sometimes put the small arch insert into a pair when it is really flared up. I get asked this question often. The support in Tieks suits my needs perfectly. My feet are never sore at the end of the day when I wear my Tieks other than the big toe pressure. Tieks do offer more support than you would expect from a flat pair of sandals that folds in half. Rob and I recently had a weekend getaway in Saugatuck. The next day, I opted for a basic pair of flat sandals and could feel the effects of poor support on concrete sidewalks after about 6 blocks.
Do Tieks offer support? Is it better than the average pair of flats? The FAQ page of the Tieks website says you can go either way, but they recommend that people with wide feet size up. I typically wear an 8. In contrast, another Tieks customer, Evie, found that it worked best for her to size down. She wrote:. It truly depends on what you find comfortable. Since Tieks has no issue with you trying different sizes, take advantage of that and figure out what works best for you!
Many women wear a larger size in the patent leather Tieks than the regular leather styles. I personally tried on the Obsidian Black a few years ago and they were far too tight in my regular size. I had ordered them at the same time as my Matte Black Tieks , intending to keep only one pair. I decided to keep the Matte Black since they were more comfortable. After reading so many helpful comments, I will definitely try sizing up the next time I order a patent leather pair.
I find my patent the most indestructible… Yup, I have never even bought a size I was pretty shocked, but I tried the tens and eleven on at the same time and the elevens were the clear winner. I have also tried an eleven in the leopard print and they were like boats-fell off my feet. One customer, Morgan, was in just that predicament and Jess had such a brilliant suggestion:. Morgan: I am having the same exact issue, same size and everything. I wear a 9. I really want a black pair but the 9 feels way too small and killed my feet but the 10 feels like my foot may slip out of them especially if they stretch any.
I believe the patent leather fits a little tighter than the full grain leather and it might be just what you need as a happy medium. I also have wide feet and struggle with finding shoes that fit well.
I have two pairs of tieks and love them both! According to the Tieks website, Tieks do not have built-in arch support, but the shoes can accommodate some styles of orthotic inserts. I have high arches, I have two metal anchors in my right foot, my left foot is wider than my right foot and the right foot is longer than my left! Needless to say, I have a lot of trouble finding shoes that are comfortable as well as attractive.
I walked in my Tieks for a total of 3. No foot pain at all this morning! I usually wear an 8. I know this is a big question for a lot of people. Yes, my feet sometimes sweat while I am wearing my Tieks. Or if you cover your feet in antiperspirant ahead of time. As a person who often goes out in the world while wearing my Tieks, I can assure you that sweat happens. Especially on hot summer days.
I often wear my Tieks to school in the summer to work in my classroom and those are the days they seem to sweat the most. Including feet. And since leather is a natural material, they breathe much better than synthetic materials which is what all of my bargain flats are made from. As a result, my feet tend to sweat less while wearing Tieks than while wearing many other flat dress shoes.
Remember my Lovestruck Tieks? The pair I have worn so much that they are now insanely comfortable? My feet have sweat a lot in that pair of shoes. So much so, that the insoles are a different color.
They used to be light brown, but now some areas have turned dark brown. While my feet have sweat a lot in those shoes on multiple occasions think of all the hot summer days in my classroom with minimal air conditioning , those are the only days I have been aware of a smell when I took my shoes off.
So I just went into my closet and stuck my nose into every pair of Tieks I own. My matte black , ballerina pink , and romantic blush pair all just smell like leather. The Lovestruck pair … well, they smelled like feet. Even today, I am only aware of a lingering smell after deliberately sticking my nose inside of them. If your feet are prone to a lot of sweat or foot odor is a particular concern for you, here are a few things you can do to manage any unpleasant odors so you can keep enjoying your Tieks.
I use spray [deodorant] in the shoe before putting them on in the morning! I was so nervous they would get stinky, I just did it from the beginning!
I have 3 pairs and I wear them almost daily. After a while, I noticed they started to smell like feet. I sprinkled baking soda in them, left it overnight, and cleaned them out the next day. For anyone concerned about them smelling like feet, I recommend using baking soda to freshen them up every now and then.
I also noticed that my Tieks do sometimes get a smell, so I use a wet not soaking, only damp paper towel and mild hand soap to wipe down the inside of my Tieks and let them dry over night. The smell goes away and is ready to wear the next day, although I wait an extra day to ensure that the inside of the Tiek is dry. When I find a good pair of shoes to wear in the classroom, I usually wear them until they are destroyed. I recently threw away of synthetic black flats that my big toe eventually wore a hole into the top of.
Other pairs have been discarded because I wore the rubber sole down so much, that the inner layers of the sole were revealed. You already know that the soles are discolored from a few years of foot sweat. You can also see the crinkled leather is worn in the place where my big toe sits on each shoe. The leather on the inside is also worn down in those same areas. With the leather showing visible signs of wear, I was pleasantly surprised to turn this pair over and examine the soles.
Other than a little dirt worn into the crevices, these soles were in nearly pristine condition. I wiped them down with a Clorox wipe before taking this photo so you could get a better look at the detail. If your Tieks put pressure on your big toe like they do for me , you may begin to notice that your big toenail actually starts to wear down the inside of the leather fabric.
The same thing is currently happening in my Tieks and I loved this idea to prevent too much damage inside of the shoe. Tieks applies several different leather treatments to their shoes to create a variety of styles. Some of the treatments are easy to spot like the patent leather, the matte leather, and the painted snake patterns.
There are a few styles available for purchase in the Boutiek that look like a basic matte leather pair of Tieks but are actually crafted with distressed leather. The Poppy style is a Tieks limited edition that women went wild for when it was released. And since the finish looks so much like the basic matte leather, many women were surprised to see that they looked worn out and came here for answers.
I learned a lot from their discussions. I was shocked, but they let me exchange them for a patent pair great customer service! Have you seen any wear in the leather like that? Jennifer: My poppy Tieks did the exact same thing!!! I also have a pair of camel Tieks that over one year old and worn daily look like new. Apparently the poppy is a distressed leather as is the cobalt blue and clover green. I am currently working with customer service for an exchange as well and am having a hard time deciding on another color since I loved the poppy color so much.
The only time I wore my Tieks in the rain was on a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando a few summers ago. I wanted to wear my super-comfy Lovestruck Tieks, but I knew there was rain in the forecast later that day. I had already owned my Lovestruck pair for several years and they had certainly seen better days.
We got caught in a downpour and my shoes were soaked. Some of the interior coloring rubbed onto my feet, leaving me with brown and black spots on my feet that was easily washed off. I read on their website that they can be treated with a water repellant as you would do with leather boots etc to wear in the rain. I have worn my matte black Tieks my very first pair in the rain unexpected down pour and they got completely soaked.
