Are your favorite shoes snug or tight? Do you need to break in shoes without getting blisters? Are you a size 10 or 10.5 but either size still does not fit? Do you want to break or loosen up shoes without wearing them? Well if you answered yes, than you need a shoe stretcher.

A shoe stretcher is a wooden or plastic foot that's place inside a shoe to give feet more room. Shoe Stretchers are made for both men and ladies, left and right shoes.

Shoe Stretchers typically have a steel bar and a rod handle running through the wooden foot, constructed in two halves (you can see examples below). Cranking/Rotating the rod handle will expand the two halves and stretch the width. For most, they come with bunion and corn pieces that you could attach into the holes of the shoe stretcher. Perfect for toes and bunion stretches.

Different types/styles of shoe stretchers:

One Way Shoe Stretcher: Stretches the shoes width. Stretches left to right anywhere from your arch to the toe area.

Two Way Shoe Stretcher: Stretches both the width and length. Similar to the one-way shoe stretcher but you can stretch the length from the heel to the toe area.

High Heel Shoe Stretcher: Specialize and different shaped shoe stretcher made for ladies high heels. Expanding the width of your heel.

Vamp and Instep Raiser: A shoe stretcher made to stretch the vamp and/or instep of a shoe. Basically stretching the top area of the shoe by height.

Toe Raiser/Stretcher: Stretches the toe box of the shoe.

Ball & Ring Cast Iron Bunion Stretcher: Stretches specific pressured points relating to bunion and toe areas of the shoe.

Boot Stretchers: A variety of boot stretchers could range from expanding the shaft of the boot, vamp of the boot, the length of the boot, and/or the width of the boot. Depending on the boot worn, ask a specialist and ask for recommendation.

Shoe Stretch Spray: Recommended with shoe stretchers. Loosens the fibers to make stretching more efficient and a lot easier.

In general, shoe stretchers just give feet more room in your tight old and new shoes. Break them in faster and get rid of shoe pain!
