For Pete’s sake, don’t do it, man!
Everything else got a good sort through in the last 18 months. The expanding waistline meant a full overhaul, followed by the shoe exploration you're already familiar with. The ties just sat there, watching the turmoil going off around them. To be honest, I'd be happy getting down to one hanger of ties (regular and bow ties). I think there's 20 slots on each hanger.
As to new shoes that don't quite fit. A couple of pairs of mine, don't seem to be relaxing as much as I thought they might in the toe area. No exchanges possible though, as it was a closing down sale. I might be tempted to try a stretcher further down the line, if they continue to be unyielding.
