My women shoes are size 8.5 medium, but I want to stretch them a little bit - do I need the size 8 or do I need the large size - will the large size fit into my 8.5 mediums?
A shopper on Nov 15, 2014
Best Answer: Thank you for your question. For a women's shoe size of 8.5 we would recommend the large shoe stretcher. We hope this information will be of help to you.
I read reviews that these fit in boots. Will they fit in a cowboy boot, for example, a women's mid calf boot? I cannot imagine looking at the photos, how these fit into a boot of any height actually.

Do they work on both women's flat and high heel shoes?
Best Answer: I have only used them on tennis shoes and my husbands dress shoes. I would think they would also work on heels
Does this work on high heels? i have size 6 1/2 five inch heels that need just a little more room.
Best Answer: Yes, these stretchers will work on any shoe. You just place the little black buttons where you need it a little extra room and turn the black handle on the end. The wooden foot will spread apart stretching the leather.
Thank you for your question. These can work for heels as well as a regular shoe. We hope this information will be of help to you.

will these work on wide shoes?
Best Answer: Thank you for your question. It will depend on the width of the shoe. If they are regular wide shoes it will work. If they are E size the width may be to big for the stretcher to work. We hope this information will be of help to you.
Yes. They have multiple features that allow customizing width changes in many places. If they aren't wide enough the 1st time, they can be rest retched to make them fit specific places on the foot.
that depends how wide the shoes are !!i using them on regular wide shoes and it works great.yes i would recoment them .
Yes they will work on wide shoes. The stretchers can be moved to fit the width of the shoe
Can this enlarge the box of the shoe to give more room over the toes?
A shopper on Jul 16, 2015
Best Answer: Hello sore toe person : no, this product (and maybe no commercial shoe stretcher) cannot enlarge the box of the shoe itself. It will enlarge/stretch the overall front of the shoe, across the toe knuckles and the instep (very effectively -- it is pretty sturdy). If you can soften the leather and additionally insert pebbles (marbles?) at the end of the stretcher, and then force it tight to use the full extension lengthwise, you might be able to get some ease at the end of the toes, but really it's for the width of the foot, rather than the end of the box. (I have bad bunions, and this stretcher worked well for that.)
Yes. If the shoes are really tight, you may have to stretch it twice. I have used the stretchers on more than one pair, and been satisfied each time. I have 1 toe that is longer than others, so I put the "corn" button on that place. It keeps the rest of the shoe in the correct size and shape. On one pair, I stretched the box in both lengthwise and crosswise directions. I'm very pleased with this product.
Yes, how much depends on the material the shoe is made of.
Is this for a pair?
A shopper on Nov 3, 2015
Best Answer: Yes. It is for a pair, although it is difficult to distinguish between what is right and what is left. But they work fine.
Thank you for your question. The shoe stretchers do come in a pair. We hope this information will be of help to you.
Are shoe stretchers only for leather shoes? I have a pair of rubber and plastic spectator shoes that I acquired and the right one is too tight because that foot is larger than my left foot.
A shopper on Sep 17, 2015
Best Answer: Depend on the rubber or plastic, most of products made from those materials, do stretch, so I would be more apt to think it would be successful.
I have only used it on leather shoes and it works well. I dont know if it works on plastic or rubber shoes.
leather works best. Other materials don't tend to stay stretched or stretch too well.
I USED THEM ON MY TENNIS SHOES
will these work for high top tennis shoes?
Best Answer: If you can get the shoe stretcher into the high top (having adjusted the width and added the little knobs where you need them) then you should push the stretcher down gently and leave it for a few days. With canvas shoes I wet the frontal areas with water to help the stretching and with leather etc. I use the stretching solution that they sell. If the shoet is not wide enough I open the stretcher space a bit more and repeat the process. It works quite well for me on all types of shoes.
No, 'I don't think so. It works best on leather shoes because there is a little 'give' in leather. I have tried it on a pair of non leather shoes and it works okay......worth a try anyway. There is always a pair of shoes in your closet that you find yourself not wearing because they hurt, so give the shoe stretcher a try!
I kind of doubt it as the apparatus for adjusting sticks out over the back of a regular shoe, probably no room for it with hi tops.
plastic or wood stretchers whats better?
A shopper on Jul 21, 2015
Best Answer: I had some metal stretchers but they were not as efficient as the wood stretchers I bought. The wood stretchers not only widen your shoes but if your big toe is hitting the front of your shoe, they also help give you room there. You can also stretch specific areas with the plastic items that can be attached to the stretchers.
We purchased the wooden shoe stretcher and they work great.
This wooden stretcher worked fine with my leather shoes.
is this for 1 or 2?
Best Answer: Two, one for each shoe.
Thank you for your question. The Shoe Stretchers are sold in pairs. We hope this information will be of help to you.

Best Answer: jAs long as it takes to get the comfort i am looking for. They really work great since you can pinpoint the area that needs adjusting

we leave them in a week at a time
Is this a pair or single?
A shopper on Dec 2, 2016
Best Answer: The Shoe Stretcher is a pair and works excellent. Sometimes you purchase a shoe that appeared to fit good and later feels a little tight. I the leave the stretcher in shoes for a few days and shoe feel PERMANENTLY spacious.
Thank you for your question. The Shoe Stretchers come as a pair. We hope this information will be of help to you.

How many inserts per foot - 3 or 4?
A shopper on Nov 27, 2015
Best Answer: i asked at a shoe place. They said to leave it in overnight. I've had to adjust mine to fit, but if I know I'm going to wear a pair in the morning, I put the stretcher in overnight the night before. I hope this helps
