[Healeys] Great Pedal - No Stop!

What you said seems contradictory to me.  If the shoes are too small for the drums, how will they ever fit?

Sounds like you have put standard size shoes into oversize drums and you're
only getting contact on a very small area of the shoes. It could take some
time to wear them down to get full contact. You might have to get them relined
again to the size of the drums.
