Shoes Don't Fit!

I bought beautiful shoes from David's Bridal in November when I bought my wedding dress - they're red and give perfect pop of colour.  And they fit like a charm when I tried them on and walked around the store in them.  

It was Winter then, and I'm sure that boots and socks made my feet swell a little from the warmth... but now that it's Summer (finally!), I'm pretty much slipping out of them whenever I wear them around our apartment to break them in (probably not my smartest choice, considering we get married in 40-some days).  

I have Dr. Scholl's heel & ball of the foot pads in them because I have sensitive skin and blister VERY easily, and they're fabric (a satin-like finish, as opposed to a moleskin finish, or the gels).  That said... has anyone else had a problem with the fabric pads?  Has anyone had better luck with the gel pads or moleskin?  I have an alternate pair of shoes (strappy wedge sandals that are much lower), but I'd love to wear these ones as long as possible on our wedding day and not just for pictures!

Any suggestions would be great

Look for the same ones on eBay or see if David's still has them and order a smaller size.  It's not worth trying to doctor them.  You want to be comfortable and not worry about them.  Sell the bigger size.

I would try exchanging them?

I got a pair of shoes I was totally excited about - yellow patent pumps. I tried them on in the winter and they fit great. I tried them on again to show a friend on a hot, humid day. My feet had swollen and they were terribly uncomfortable.

Since my wedding is in Florida in July, they had to go back, which bummed me out. But I found another pair I liked just as much!

I would try and exchange them as well. 

Your feet could have been swollen from boots and socks or just water weight. If they won't let you exchange them, then I would suggest walking around in the pads that you have already and see how they feel. I too have sensitive skin and blister easily. I have never had an issue with pads but have never had a satin finish. I would be concerned with slipping still.
