Pair of Premium Professional 2-way Shoe Trees, Wooden Shoe Stretcher for Men or Women

All new shoes take a few wears to adjust to foot. But this means our feet are taking the beating. With this product, I just leave them in my shoes for a day or two and they are comfortable as ever. I recommend having a pair at home. Works well with flats as well as heels.

Nice quality, works well. Some designs are made of plastic that can deform when in use and so the shoe does not stretch fully. These are wood and much stiffer and push harder when tensioned. The tensioning screws are hard plastic, so I've used them somewhat gently to avoid breakage. I've been able to bring a canvas sneaker up one size.

I bought a spray to put on the shoes before stretching but this proved ineffective. The trick is to soak the front half of the shoe in water then do the stretching. Stretch the shoes in stages to check the fit, each time overnight. My wife now is wearing 'never worn' shoes and my beloved Church's now fit my spreading feet. The cost of the stretchers worth every penny as now using shoes that had become unwearable.

Due to ADHD related sensory issues, my toes are extra picky and I require shoes with wide toe boxes. I bought cute Converse shoes that I thought would work well for my toes, but they ended up being slightly too narrow in the toe box. The photos made them look like they had a more rounded toe. Bummer deal! Instead of returning them, I wanted to try and figure out how to stretch the toe boxes a bit. The rest of she shoe fit very nicely, so I wanted to make sure I found a solution that only addressed the toe box. I saw info online that said to get your shoes wet and stuff socks into them, put a bag of ice inside the toe box and put them in the freezer, etc. But I’m too lazy for all that! Plus those tricks don’t always work. I found these stretchers and, while pretty skeptical, decided to try them. I had low expectations, but was surprised at how sturdy and well made they were. The wood is high quality, and the metal cranks and screws cranked smoothly and flawlessly. There are little plastic pieces you can add in case you have corns or need a bit more stretch in specific spots. I let my shoes sit with the stretchers in them for two days before trying them on. They fit PERCECTLY. The toe boxes are now wide enough to where my toes have plenty of room, and the shoes aren’t damaged at all (I was very careful about not cranking the stretchers too hard, but hard enough to get some solid stretch action going). I didn’t add heat, get them wet, or do anything besides let them sit. It’s day 5 of wearing the shoes and they are still stretched out and are now my most comfortable shoes. I highly recommend these shoe stretchers! I wish I had found these long ago… it would have saved me many returned shoes. But do be careful about the pressure you put into stretching your shoes, as some shoes aren’t of the highest quality and seams may burst as you crank the widening parts. Side note - these can also be used as shoe and boot shapers. My husband is able to use them to keep his leather work shoes in good condition without creases while he shines them or when he isn’t wearing them.
