Not suitable for boots. Key benefits Immediate relief from tight shoes and pressure points — creates extra width and length where you need it. Helps reduce discomfort from conditions like hallux valgus (bunions) by gently increasing interior space. Keeps shoe shape and prevents deformation during use or storage, extending the life and comfort of your footwear. What makes this shoe stretcher stand out Solid construction: selected quality pine wood body for an ecofriendly, durable fit form. Robust hardware: sturdy metal shaft, Lshaped metal handle and screws deliver reliable, controlled expansion. Designed for consistent results: leave in the shoe for at least 24–48 hours; longer time improves the expansion effect. Compatibility and sizes Men's size range: US 10–13 Women's size range: US 10–12 Works with many shoe types: leather shoes, sneakers, sandals, flats, canvas shoes, loafers, athletic shoes, and similar designs. Note: Not suitable for boots. Performance and use Gradually expands width and/or length depending on adjustment, allowing precise stretching without overstressing materials. Suitable for shoes that feel tight, for shoes that pinch after long wear, or for feet that need a bit more room due to swelling or foot conditions. How to use (simple 4step process) 1. Adjust the swiveling heel slider to match the shoe's heel, then insert the stretcher fully into the shoe. 2. Align the heel slider and the front last so the stretcher sits correctly inside the shoe. 3. Rotate the plastic ring clockwise until the heel slider presses firmly against the heelpiece; continue rotating to lengthen the shoe. 4. Turn the Lshaped metal handle clockwise to widen the shoe to the desired fit. For results leave the stretcher in place 24–48 hours. Practical use scenarios Breaking in a pair of leather dress shoes before an important event so they fit comfortably all day. Adjusting everyday sneakers or work shoes that feel tight after foot swelling from long shifts or travel. Creating extra toe space for people with bunions or sensitive forefeet to reduce pressure and improve comfort. Care and important notes Keep the stretcher dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the pine wood. Use gradual adjustments rather than forceful turns to avoid damaging shoes.
