So I just bought the Mad Rock Loco's, and I'm pretty happy with them except for the fact that they are so damn tight! Now don't get me wrong, I know they're supposed to be tight, but I'm wondering if there's any sort of way to stretch 'em out nice and quick.
I heard of some people soaking them and then wearing them, but I'm wondering what sort of effect that will have on the glue on the rubber. Also, being that they're vegan (i.e. not leather), does anyone know if they'll stretch much, if at all?
Thanks!

synthetic shoes tend not to stretch a whole bunch. maybe 1/3 a size but not much more.

The basically don't stretch. You'll need to get a different pair. Water will make nearly no difference.... sorry.

Well, oddly enough, they did in fact stretch a bit. But, I'm still uncomfortable in them to the point where a fall would most certainly result in tears, so I'm returning them.
Thanks for the help!

My shoes are not vegan.
They eat my feet.

My problem with vegan shoes is that I just don't feel like I can get enough protein. I started putting beef or chicken inside of them and I'm feeling better. Kind of a Mad Rock burrito.

I have the evolv defy's and when I bought them they were just a little tight. They have now relaxed to where they fit perfectly.
