Shoe stretcher?

So, I bought a pair of S-Works shoes last summer and opted for a slightly snugger fit, assuming their would be a bit of give in them.

However, that appears not to be the case and I am getting numb feet, and have to back the laces off loads when I am on flatter sections. It feels tight in the toe box area. Is there anything I can do to try and stretch it at all? or am I going to be placing an advert in the For Sale section?

    You could try a cheap pair of shoe strechers from Ebay but you might find that if you have been wearing them since last summer they won't go any further so for sale might be your only option.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    I think if anything your feet expand with time on the bike.

    I'm not sure the stretchers will make a difference but prob worth a punt ?
