I wear an 11 in women's shoes which are hard to find unless you go to the big stores. But I like cute fun shoes. So most of the time there's no upsizing because most of the small stores only go up to a size 10. And I'm a bargain shopper, so I like to find deals. So when I find my size for a good price, I get it! Unfortunately, most times they become uncomfortable after so long, most times before I leave the house!So when I saw these shoe stretchers, I just had to try them! They work! I got the large ones made for big shoes; they were an exact fit. These are heavy duty and durable. And there are two of them! They come with some nodes that I haven't tried to figure out where they go or how to get on (i think they are for the pressure points); they dont come with instructions. Had to look back at the pics online. (I'm a stickler for instructions which is why there are only 4 stars, otherwise it would be 5).You have to put these in your shoes and turn the black knob first to lengthen the shoe stretcher. THEN turn the metal heart to widen the shoe. I did it wrong the first time and didn't lengthen it. I didn't know what the black knob was for so I thought it didn't work and had to do a do over.Anyway, I used these in a couple pairs of my too tight boots and they did stretch them a little bit. I am now working on loosening up a 3rd pair. Wish I had gotten a 2nd set of these, as I have LOTS of shoes. But I guess I'll take it one day at a time, as it requires 24 hrs to stretch a pair of shoes.

I ordered these shoe stretchers because I have a nice pair of golf shoes that had great support but we're way too tight in the toe box area. I also have a small bunion on each foot so I definitely needed to stretch that area as well. These shoe stretchers work for the most part. I think i needed one more hole on the side to stretch the exact spot I needed but I was able to stretch my golf shoes to a point that I could actually wear them for 18 holes and my feet felt fine afterwards.

These fit my husband's size 12 boots perfectly. He said they feel well made and durable. They adjust to fit your foot needs. They are easy to use and work well in cowboy and work boots. We appreciate the value and the budget friendly price. We highly recommend this set to others.

These are handy and so easy to use. It's cute that the nob to turn is heart shaped but I used these to stretch out the strap on my wedge sandals and they aren't as snug anymore. The quality is top notch as these definitely will be hard to break. Very durable

These shoe stretchers broke in a pair of custom made Italian boots. When I got the boots they we tight and rubbed the heel of my foot, I'm a diabetic and this could be dangerous. I used the stretcher and the not only stretched but I was able to put in contours to fit the shape of my foot using the attachments. These shoe stretchers are easy to use and they work really well.

I have purchased boots on sale that were too small and these shoe/boot stretchers are perfect for them! I placed the stretchers inside each boot and expanded each one (this is a set of two, thankfully) the boots have gotten a bit bigger I have noticed, but still not “quite” big enough to wear around comfortably. Again, the boots I bought were definitely too small! These stretchers definitely did make a difference in the width of each boot and I think that if you have a pair of shoes or boots that are uncomfortable or too small by just a little, then these stretchers would definitely work! They are well made and solid construction. They absolutely work well and I do recommend them, just know that they aren’t going to stretch out two sizes! I think they just make it easier to break shoes in.

I wear a size 13 and recently got new boots. I normally get a 123 wide but I have recently lost a lot of weight so I went with the non wide boots. They are a little tight at the front of the foot. Got these and they slip into the boots just fine. You turn the black knob to elongate them into the boot so they are tight front to back. I then laced up the boots tight with the pressure points installed all the way to the front. then turn the silver handle to the right to tighten the width of the front and you can see the boot stretching out. I tightened it as much as I could. It say to give it at least 24 hours. Tonight was 24 hours so I took one off and tried and and the boot definitely fit much better! I am putting it back in and retightening it to give it multiple days next as I really do want to stretch these out good.I was concerned at first that it is plastic but it is a heavy plastic and it works just fine so no complaints there. There is a loose pad that apparently you put in along the tongue. It doesn't have a connection point though so it is hard to keep in place while you lace up the shoes. That is my only complaint but the pressure point stretches you can move around to where you need them. Overall a good tool and I am pleased with the order.

I’ve never owned a pair of shoe stretchers before, however, this seems to be of high-quality and works well. My goal was to provide a little bit more width in the ball of foot and toe area of some hiking boots. I wear a size 8 1/2 US. I will say that it was a little bit of a challenge to get the shoe stretcher in the shoe. This is probably because eight is the smallest size that this model is designed to work with. Once I loosened quite a few laces, I was able to get it in without too much trouble.The heart shaped metal handle widen the tip of the stretchers, and the plastic ring that turns below that pushes against the back of the shoe if you’re looking for a little bit more length.You can also add some additional plastic pieces to the tip to make it wider in certain areas. I wish that the holes that the slide into were a little bit closer together to have a little more flexibility in position, but over it seems to work fine.
