KevenAnnaPair of Premium Professional 4-way Shoe Trees, Shoe Stretcher for Men or Women

I bought a pair of shoes that other reviewers said that they run small. I ordered a half size larger and could get my feet into them but they were still so tight I couldn't move. Read review of the KevenAnna wooden shoe stretcher and they worked great. I'm glad they not only stretch the length but also the width. I extended out the length and width until I couldn't turn the levers any more, left them for 3-4 days and was able to get my feet in, but still a little tight. same routine a 2nd time. I can now get feet in comfortably and walk comfortably. Separate turning dial for length and separate dial for width. Great product

Due to ADHD related sensory issues, my toes are extra picky and I require shoes with wide toe boxes. I bought cute Converse shoes that I thought would work well for my toes, but they ended up being slightly too narrow in the toe box. The photos made them look like they had a more rounded toe. Bummer deal!Instead of returning them, I wanted to try and figure out how to stretch the toe boxes a bit. The rest of she shoe fit very nicely, so I wanted to make sure I found a solution that only addressed the toe box. I saw info online that said to get your shoes wet and stuff socks into them, put a bag of ice inside the toe box and put them in the freezer, etc. But I’m too lazy for all that! Plus those tricks don’t always work.I found these stretchers and, while pretty skeptical, decided to try them. I had low expectations, but was surprised at how sturdy and well made they were. The wood is high quality, and the metal cranks and screws cranked smoothly and flawlessly. There are little plastic pieces you can add in case you have corns or need a bit more stretch in specific spots.I let my shoes sit with the stretchers in them for two days before trying them on. They fit PERCECTLY. The toe boxes are now wide enough to where my toes have plenty of room, and the shoes aren’t damaged at all (I was very careful about not cranking the stretchers too hard, but hard enough to get some solid stretch action going). I didn’t add heat, get them wet, or do anything besides let them sit. It’s day 5 of wearing the shoes and they are still stretched out and are now my most comfortable shoes.I highly recommend these shoe stretchers! I wish I had found these long ago… it would have saved me many returned shoes. But do be careful about the pressure you put into stretching your shoes, as some shoes aren’t of the highest quality and seams may burst as you crank the widening parts.Side note - these can also be used as shoe and boot shapers. My husband is able to use them to keep his leather work shoes in good condition without creases while he shines them or when he isn’t wearing them.

Works okay, but doesn’t widen as much as I hopedThe product has no strong smell and is easy to install and use. It fits inside the shoe well and seems sturdy at first glance. However, while it does widen the shoe slightly, it doesn't expand the sides as much as I was hoping for. It looks like it's working, but you can’t force it too much — it feels like it might break if pushed too far. Overall, it's decent for mild stretching, but not ideal if you need a significant amount of widening.

They’re good but, it didn’t serve the purpose we bought for, it’s very good for women shoes, very easy to operate.

There were a pair of shoes that I really, really wanted. It turns out it was just slightly tight, by the pinky toe an over the top of the foot. I purchased this stretcher. Slooooowly, stretched it out over the course of SEVERAL days. First a few days, only for an hour or two. GO SLOW. If you try to get instantaneous results, you will damage the shoe. Little by little, it got better. Then, left it in for 24 hours, 48 hours and voilà! A perfectly fitting shoe.

Didn't work Great for me. I had them on the shoes for over 24 hours but they still didn't stretch them at all. I got them because they allegedly stretch the shoes lengthwise & sideways. They were relatively easy to adjust, but definitely NOT TOO EASY; or that would have alerted me to the fact that they MAY not work. They were leather ladies shoes. No smell from the stretchers, (or for that matter, my shoes!)

Works great!
