Review on Men'S Adjustable Length & Width Shoe Stretcher And Shoe Trees For US Size 10-13.5 by David Elam

Got these on same day delivery 7 hours after I ordered them! How do they do that? I recently bought several pairs of shoes and some of them were a little too tight. I have had a pair stretched by a cobbler in the past, and although it worked, it was relatively expensive and a pain in the foot to go through the process. So, with this bunch of shoes, I bought a single wooden shoe stretcher from the same cobbler. It worked fine, but was around $35 for a single stretcher. Who wants to wait at least two days to stretch one shoe at a time? So I saw these and thought I'd take a gamble on the pair. Although the shoe form part is made of a hard, sturdy, smooth plastic, they otherwise have a metal screw rod and work just fine. The bonus with these is that they also have a heel insert and you can stretch the length of your shoe as well. My cobbler told me it was not possible to make shoes longer and the stretcher he sold me did not have a heel insert.I have them in a pair of my new shoes right now that were just a smidge too narrow and a tad too short. If these stretchers can lengthen them by a millimeter or two that would be perfect. I know they'll stretch the width okay because I actually already did it with my single stretcher and they are just about where I need them. If they stretch the length a little bit that will just be a bonus. And with the heel insert part, they will double as a nice pair of shoe trees as well!I wish I hadn't wasted my money on that expensive, single wooden stretcher and had found these first. The do the job perfectly and you get two for the price of one! And they'll double as a shoe tree when not doing their stretching job. Love them!They also come with the little bunion and foot bump pieces you can plug onto the foot form dealy bob if you need them. I don't, so they'll go in a drawer and years from now I'll be wondering what the heck these things are and why did I save them. I am using the black pad looking things however. They go across where the top of your foot would be to stretch out the top strap of your shoe. In essence they make the strecher a little higher so it stretches up as well as the width.These are a great investment and seem to be sturdily built and I think they'll last for a lifetime. Go ahead and order yourself a pair :)
