FootFitter Women’s High Heel Shoe Stretcher for 1"–3" Heels, Widens, Loosens, Relieves Pressure & Pain Relief in Tight Pumps

I've known about stretching shoes for a better fit forever, but usually the cobbler or the store you buy them at does it. I decided to try this for shoes I didn't have stretched that are a bit too snug or don't leave comfortable room for my pinky toe that I bought online. I don't need it for all my heels, but it's great for the ones that need some breaking in in the toe box, without having my poor feet do it! I love my heels and I don't see any reason why they can't be more comfortable from the first wearing, instead of having to break them in and have sore toes. This product works great! You can customize with the movable metal "bumps" where you would like extra room - like I prefer for my pinky toe in some shoes and it didn't make the outside of the shoe look noticeably different. This is the same type of product, a wooden shoe stretcher, that they use in high end dept stores to stretch high heels. It says heels up to 4", but even managed to get it to work for a pair of 5" heels, although I couldn't use the metal "bumps". I definitely recommend this product!!!!! Just remember - it only stretches the toe box, not any other part of the shoe. So, if you'd like a little more room in the toes of your heels this is your best friend! I only bought one to try it and depending on the shoe and the leather it has taken anywhere from a few hours to overnight to stretch my heels to more comfortably fit my foot. If you're not in a hurry one is fine, otherwise buy two so you can do a pair at a time. This is great if you are a regular B width, but would like a little more room. It's makes them fit like you've worn them awhile and broken them in. I'm not sure, but I don't think it widens them a whole width size, because they don't feel too big even when I've cranked it open as far as it will go. I'm also not sure if they would work on synthetic materials or "pleather" as I don't own any shoes made of synthetic materials. I don't think that material stretches the same as quality leather. Also, I wear an 8 1/2 to 9 and I bought the one for sizes 6.5 to 8.5 on recommendation from another customer instead of the next size up. I would recommend doing that if you are on the border bc it fits in the shoe better. All in all a fabulous product! I love mine!

I searched for this product because I wear pointy shoes and noticed that my shoes were starting to fit tighter at the base of the big toe. Since I did not want to invest in more pairs of shoes to replace my ill fitting shoes; I opted to search for alternatives. I began by reading comments and what helped other having the same issue. Needless to say, I found the product on Amazon and after reading the reviews on how to use it; I decided to give it a try. After receiving it, I tried it on an older pair of shoes and decided if it made a difference, I'd move on to a newer more expensive pair. I gradually increased the "stretching" and adjusted twice in a days worth trying the shoes on prior to adjusting the second time. Pleasantly surprised, this product REALLY worked! The adjustment and length of time of the product will depend on how tight the shoe fits. I left the stretcher in my second pair of shoes overnight, then tried on and adjusted it two more times during the next day until the shoe had a nice fit. Be aware that the stretcher adjusts for the lower part of the shoe and the back of it rests a bit snug on the heel part of the shoe.Note: If you have the time to alternate between shoes, you'll only need to purchase one stretcher,Hope this helps!!!

I have to say I didnt have high hope for this shoe stretcher because i have bought a pair from a different brand and was very dissappointed with my purchase. But then i read the reveiws of this shoe stretcher on Amazon and decided to give it a try. I must say i am thoroughly pleased with my purchase, i bought two shoe stretchers so that i am able to stretch a pair of shoes at the same time.I have several pairs of shoes, that i have been unable to wear since they are too tight on my feet (i have very wide feet). Since i got the shoe stretcher about a month ago i have been able to stretch about 7 pairs of shoes and they fit so comfortably now. Though I do use the "kiwi shoe stretcher spray" with my shoe stretcher. I bought the spray from Academy (for about $3), the ones sold on Amazon are a lot more expensive and some even charge you for shipping. Note: It took me several days (3 to 4) to stretch each pair of shoe to comfortably fit me but remember i have very wide feet and i had to increase the width of the stretcher to accomodate my feet after the first try.Anyway as far as the sizes go, i am a size 8.5 and i got the stretcher for sizes 6.5 - 8.5, so it is perfect but i would recommend that if you are size 9 you should also get the 6.5 - 8.5 because the shoe strecher is very bulky. If you have pointy shoes and you get the bigger size you will not be able to get the shoe stretcher all the way in.In terms of durability, i have only had the shoe stretcher for one month but it seems sturdy. Even if my stretcher breaks right now, i will know that i have got my moneys worth from it.The only complaint i have about this shoe stretcher is the fact that it is expensive. There are other high heel shoe stretchers on amazon, that are almost half the price but they dont have as many reviews and they are from a different vendor so I was reluctant to purchase those shoe stretchers.

This device has limited functionality- at least for me- because it will not fit all the way into the narrow toe box of most of my high-heeled shoes. So I end up stretching the middle part of the shoe, which I don't need, and my poor toes are still squished! Disappointing 😕
