Great- depending on the type of boot.

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2017

Size: Women's Medium 6.5 - 9Verified Purchase

As a woman, most of us have multiple pairs of shoes to compliment the outfits we wear daily, but unfortunately for me, I have a foot that I have had a few surgeries on to correct an issue with my toes growing crooked causing pain on a regular basis- especially painful in certain styles and/or brands of shoes. The problem is - when I purchase my new shoes, they feel a absolutely great walking around in the store, however, once I get home and wear them a few days, on some shoes/boots I start to get pain from where my toes are rubbing against the side of my toes, which of naturally means I have to try on EVERY pair of shoes before purchase:( Over the years, I've tried sizing up, getting wider shoes and even wearing corn/bunion protectors on the effected toes, yet nothing helps. As a last ditch effort, I found this on Amazon and after reading the reviews- (which are so tremendously appreciated by the way!) , I decided I would give this a try to help on the pairs that at least cause me the most pain. First of all, this item arrived immediately- kudos to the seller!! But in all fairness, there are both pros and cons to the foot fitter.
PROS:
Comes in a very nice box that is awesome for storage when not in use (for those of us we are particular about shoes and item storage)
This stretcher is constructed of good quality, actual wood, not some flimsy plastic. Fairly easy to use, which mine arrived with instructions for use, which is wonderful for someone if you have never used a shoe/boot stretcher. Although this is called a 'boot stretcher', it does work in shoes as well. The first item I tried to stretch was a long pair of lace up boots that simply must have had a design flaw because both the left and right boots were extremely tight both across the top and in the sides of the toe area which I started to notice like the third time I put them on. I also purchased the kiwi universal shoe stretching spray, so I generously sprayed the inside of the boot and put in the foot fitter, hoping for the best. On my boots, with the tightness of the leather, I had to stretch them a little at a time as to no ruin the boots. To my surprise, low and behold, the foot fitter did the trick! Now granite, with MY particular issue, the boot is still a TINY bit tight, but nothing that is unbearable and/or to complain about but I was fearful to keep stretcher and ruining one of my favorite pair of all boots. Keep in mind, shoe/boot leather can only give so much so don't expect to gain like 2 sizes or anything with this- but yes- it definitely works, depending on your shoes and needs. I could literally hear the leather stretching each time that I opened it wider, which concerned me at first, but then I realized, this was a good sound, as it meant that it was working. For those particular boots, I left the stretcher in for two days, moving it just a tiny bit every few hours as the boots were expensive and I was fearful as to what the stretcher may do to them.
CONS:
Ok- lets be honest. In this day and age when money is a concern for most of our daily purchases, the cost of this stretcher is a slightly high, however, being that it is more expensive and time consuming to find a cobbler (Can you even find one now or days?) and/or countless hours traveling to shoe stores to find that perfect pair of shoes. So for the money, its almost a wash- depending on how you look at it. Just remember, you get what you pay for. The second 'con; is that it does not stay tight in the toe of the boot, so depending on what area of the item you need stretched, this could be an issue. For me, I need the area near the tip of the shoe, directly on the side where your pinky toe is, so this was a problem. I tried using the included plastic bunion accessory but it was as if the pre-drilled holes are not close enough to the tip to do what I needed it to do or just the design of how the stretcher opens, it was not working for what I needed. So to compensate, I would open the stretcher slighter and just push very hard on the base to insure that the entire stretcher would stay tightly in the tip. For some of my shoes, this was a bit of a chore, but I do not think it simply depends on what particular issue you have with you feet. Needless to say, I got the desired result I wanted after a true battle with some of the pairs of shoes I own. The next 'con' is that this stretcher does not do length, only width, so depending on the design on the shoe (like very narrow or extremely high heels) it was a little bit of a struggle to get this in place. So.... if you have very high, narrow boots, you may be slightly disappointed- for me, all of my high arched boots/shoes have zippers on the side, making the larger wooden base work ok, but if you are someone who has a lot of narrow shoes, this may not fit that well, as the larger part of the base is probably the size of a small apple. Just a side note, be careful when you are turning this- I thought I had broken it after like the 2nd day but my husband had to show me that I was trying to open it too wide, causing the handle to literally unscrew from the base- so keep that it mind.
All in all- I highly recommend this stretcher- I only gave it four stars because I would have liked to have seen the pre-drilled holes closer to the toes and due to the fact that I had to be 'Hercules' to push it high enough into the toe area for my particular needs, but because I did end up with the results that I needed (after painstaking hours of doing ALL of my undesired fitting shoes) I have to say I am pleased with the purchase and urge you to consider it - reading all the reviews similar to what your needs are. Also, should mention, this is very universal- will work in both left or right side of most boots and shoes. You may also want to look at the stretching sprays- I'm not sure if I would have went without it.

Works well, until it breaks

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2023

Size: Women's Medium 6.5 - 9Verified Purchase

I read reviews before I decided to buy this item, and saw that it often broke. I got maybe three good uses out of it and then when I tried using it again recently, the mechanism broke. I took the stretcher apart, and I saw that the washer seems to be causing the problem. I went to Home Depot to see if I could find a larger washer that would prevent the spring from sinking into the cross mechanism, but there were only split washers which I couldn’t open to fit around the mechanism. I give up! Very surprised that it broke so quickly.

I contacted foot fitter customer service after I wrote this review to let them know of the problem. Even though I bought the product through Amazon, once they verified the purchase, they said they would send me a replacement part. I was impressed with their prompt reply. Hopefully will be back to working soon!

Can’t say enough about this product. It is such high quality, I feel like I am running my own shoe repair shop. My mom has really bad bunions and I have a mild one on one foot and it has been passed back and forth and made all of our shoes feel custom. I no longer have any pain from any of my shoes because of this stretcher. I even used it to stretch the tight toe band of a pair of sandals. It works wonders!!!!

I ordered the Large based on my size 11 North American shoe size and other reviews and it is sized just small enough to work for my shoes & boots...but if I was size 10.5 or smaller the next size down would be best (otherwise too difficult to push the stretcher to the end of the shoe/boot).

Good sturdy, quality product that has worked extremely well, salvaging a pair of bike shoes that were too narrow for my wide, bunnioned feet. I also used them on another pair of shoes that were "broken in" but still were a bit uncomfortable after half a day, they now fit like slippers 😊.

We bought the boot stretchers instead of the shoe as this does allow us to stretch the toe box area of all our footwear, including ski boots.

Good product and would recommend to a friend if asked.
