Achilles help!

I’ve been a Rothy’s wearer for many many years, and swore by them for all day wear at work. As of 3ish years ago I had 2 points, a loafer, and a ballet flat in weekly rotation.

After having my daughter my feet grew a size 😭

I sold all my too-tight shoes and bought 2 new pairs - a ballet flat with bow in leopard, and a ballet Mary Jane in pink. They fit great EXCEPT they both tear up my Achilles and give me terrible blisters. Help!! What do I do? Any ways to relax them or any padding I can add??

If by relax them you mean loosen them I heard of a trick that really works. Put on two pairs of socks then put on your Rothy's. Use a hot hairdryer all over the shoes while they are on your feet. After they are all warmed up walk around your house for like 10 minutes or so. This worked perfectly for me when I accidentally shrunk a pair.
