I have never worn "proper girl's shoes" in my life,
because they are too constricting, so I hate tight
shoes. Last year I bought a pair of "Miller's Heels 
Down" riding sneakers/hiking-style-boots (they are 
suede and nylon with high ankles). 

They were too tight across the ball of the foot and 
pinched to begin with. However, on the advice of my 
husband, the first three times I wore them, I sprayed 
them inside and out with "shoe stretch" (some stuff 
that comes in an aerosol can). By the end of the week 
they fit great and I've worn them practically every 
day since (including to my office - seeing as you never 
know when you might get a chance to ride...). They are 
my most comfy pair of shoes.

So just bear that in mind - "shoe stretch" - Patrick says
you get it from shoe shops. Ha.
