How To Use a Shoe Stretcher

[@helprehouseourvets6919]

Thank you so much for this simple & str8 to the point video!

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

This particular stretcher only stretches width. We carry a 2 way stretcher that stretches width and length and is the same high quality as the one I demonstrated above.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

All your comments are people with questions. Just so you know. My question was, did you mean half turns? You said "Another 4 turns..." and showed another 4 half turns.

[@anye76]

thanks so much for posting this, I bought a pair of shoe stretcher had no idea how to use them so thanks so much. I think y'all just got a new customer in me

[@Mike_Virata]

im so glad i went on you tube. i just made my purchase. i almost bought that rip off kind at amazon but the reviews say they are made out of plastic and break easy. i'll comment back when they get in but after reading these comments and seeing the video i feel confident i made the right purchase.

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

Hi pouchy17, yes our high heel stretcher will work just fine with heels that have a heel length above 4.5". Hope this helps! And let us know if you have any further questions. Thanks, Joe

[@MonK3yzUnkL]

Thank you! Exactly what I need for my son's new shoes. Ordering from your site to support this content.

[@melissaleggett7761]

Thank you so much! I didn’t know that a high heel stretcher existed. I just ordered one, along with the aerosol spray 👍🏽

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@eileenyw92 Yes, you can stretch fake leather or suede. There is no need to use the stretching fluids on these types of materials. Just use the stretcher without the streching fluids.

[@mzlaina1]

One of the best shoe stretchn videos.. So helpful :)

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@ShoeCareSupplies es, The stretchers will work on fabric shoes as well. There is no need to use the stretching fluids on these types of materials. Just use the stretcher without the stretching fluids.

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@sycoa you should buy the 12.5 - 14 stretcher. Its easier to apply the shoe stretch on the out side of the shoe, and it gets better penetration. In our experience applying it on the inside just makes a mess. -Joe

[@joecobbler]

You could use the 2 way stretcher for high top sneakers. Go up a few sizes because sneakers are normally wider than shoes.

[@StGeoRUSH619]

The white low-top sneakers I have are 100% leather, a size 10, and just a bit narrow. What size stretcher should I buy to widen my shoes... Men's 8-10, Men's 10 1/2 - 12, or Men's 12 1/2 - 14 ? Awesome video, Joe... very informative!!!

[@joecobbler]

George, I would get the 10 1/2 - 12 stretcher because sneakers are normally wider than dress shoes and possibly buy an extra bunion attachment. Thanks, Joe

[@StGeoRUSH619]

@@joecobbler Thanks, Joe... Quick question... Since I'm widening my sneakers (not dress shoes), why the extra BA, and what's the best place to attach them? Also, since they are sneakers I'm trying to widen, I'm still looking at a Men's 10 1/2 - 12 stretcher, correct? Thanks again.

[@MsOliveLeaf]

Thank you, Joe. This was so helpful!

[@ellejo9909]

Hi, Can the stretcher and stretch liquid be used on suede knee high boots? Thanks.

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@clarissatse I would buy the 61/2 to 8 stretcher. This way, you will have a lot of pressure on the shoes to stretch them out.

[@philippedamphousse7369]

hello, very good video:) Is it possible to know how large can we increase de width of the shoe?

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

You can use these shoes on any color shoes. They can be used on leather, plastic vinyl and even plastic shoes

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@ImThaidUp Our stretchers work on any kind of materials, whether they be leather, vinyl, plastic or cloth.

[@dmzabo3914]

What about sneakers? Will it work on them?

[@benhammond7766]

Hi Joe, I have a big bunion on my right big toe and so I need to stretch my shoe in this area to ensure there's no pressure on the bunion. Can I use the mens wooden shoe stretcher, or would this be the wrong tool to use as it will widen the shoe as well, which I don't actually need, i just need the bunion area widened. The reason I ask is because the Bunion & Toe Box Stretcher is not available in the UK, only the wooden foot stretcher. Thanks, Ben

[@stefanvarner5940]

I need to stretch the Arch of my shoes, not the toe or furthermost portion of them so much. It appears that most shoe stretchers do not address the Arch. This may not be as much of a concern with lace-up shoes as it is with slip-on styles that cannot be loosened with the laces. Suggestions?

[@JohnDoe-xo3lr]

Bought one from you tonight, great video.

[@angelsamaniego5810]

Are these permanent or how often do I have to do it

[@مقاطعمتنوعة-ت4ن]

i think once in a lifetime

[@xXTECHxKNIGHTXx]

Good morning Joe, I've got a pair of Vans skate shoes I purchased the other day and they fit alright but could use a bit of room where my big toe first knuckle is, it bulges a bit more than normal, can this style shoe be stretched like leather ones? Thanks!

[@Lot_2023]

What if it's a composite safety toe? (on size 14 leather Magnum boots). The front inside corners of my big toes touch a little bit after wearing for several hours. How difficult is this to do? I'm guessing a combination of length and toebox width stretching.........can this be done??

[@rphillips1071]

I’m unsure whether I should use the shoe stretch aerosol and shoe stretch liquid after watching this video

[@queenie4837]

I've managed to destroy two pairs of wooden stretchers where I have screwed them open to the end and the plastic nut inside has broken so the shoe will no longer expand. Need to find another way to stretch my shoes...

[@erina6319]

sounds like you just need to find some with no plastic parts

[@6ftgentle863]

Does the spray/liquid change the color of the shoe?

[@BillieHijabi]

Can the womans shoe stretcher do from a 7 stretch to 10.5-11?

[@VanIyke]

Does this apply (spray included) to running shoes/trainers that are non-leather?

[@mwedzi]

Is the spray safe for all shoe fabric types? I have some fancy fabric shiny shoes and would be worried the spray might stain the fabric

[@petervelker1990]

i just bought a pair of converse chuck taylor all stars size 9, my regular shoe size is 10.5, but they don't sell these shoes in half sizes and they recommend buying one shoe size smaller, these shoes are made out of canvas, would your shoe stretcher stretch these shoes a half size bigger so they would fit properly because a size 10 is too big?, your help is greatly appreciated.

[@ImThaidUp]

Thank you so Much Joe for this video! I bought a pair of shoe trees and had to return them cause I didn't have a clue as to how to get them to expand. I also didn't know there were different kinds of shoe stretchers (I may have bought the flat kind for my pointy heels). I will go to your site and order what I need. But question: I don't think the shoes I have are 100% leather and I read that shoe stretchers do not work well on man-made materials. Is this true? Thanx again Joe!

[@joecobbler]

The stretchers will work on sneakers. I would recommend going up 1 or 2 sizes.

[@legofanguyvid]

Could I use these on my sneakers?

[@SCIowaYFC]

you said 3 or 4 more turns, but it looked like those were 1/2 turns. is that what you meant?

[@lilqtxanq3l]

When you stretch heels that pointy in the front, is the shoe stretcher suppose to fit into the shoe? Or can you just put part of the shoe stretcher into the shoe to stretch?

[@Followwherethetruthleads]

What's the purpose of shoe stretching

[@electeli]

Does the handle rotate 90 degrees to operate it when down in the boot is what I was wondering.

[@colinsmith1176]

Thanks for making this video. Will the stretching fluid discolor the leather?

[@Yavyuuu]

Not everyone can have youtube channel…. It has been 7 years and still no answer. Apparently he only advertise his brand without following up with questions

[@dunkley8701]

Great video Joe!

[@johnswagalot3141]

with high top shoes like basketball shoes what would you use for width and length?

[@BigJayyyMusic]

Does the shoe have to be leather?

[@tyremalik1]

I'm looking to widing out my basketball shoes what do you recommend

[@treasurewithin]

What do you recommend for shoe lengthening

[@kathleendunton241]

very informative. what about canvas shoes?

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@lilqtxanq3lou should try to push the stretcher up as far as possible. Do not use the bunion piece if it stops the stretcher from going in all the way. If it does not go up to the toe, try the next size down.

[@joecobbler]

They will work in high tops. The metal piece will stick out the back of the sneaker. On sneakers, I would go up one size on the stretcher.

[@kgt9925]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

Hi @LabelLush how did that shoe stretcher work for you?

[@quepinchedesmadre64]

Hello Joe, I just bought some Christian Louboutin Daffodil shoes, and they fit me tight from the toes, the big toe and middle toe is fine, but the middle,ring, and pinky feel very crunched up, is there any high heel stretcher to fit this particular shoe that I can use to stretch them out ( width ) ??Thanks

[@wutang594]

can you stretch synthetic leather shoes, my nike high top bigs are too narrow at the toes

[@rksu747]

Hi Joe, I am a size 14 and I want to buy a pair of your shoe stretchers for my sneakers. I love puma's but they run small. My problem is that I do not know what size to get. Is the 12-14 best or should I go the 14 and up route because I am already a size 14. Please let me know so I can stop wearing my feet out breaking in my new shoes!

[@joecobbler]

They do work on patent leather, but you do not need to use any of the shoe stretch liquids because the liquids will not penetrate into the patent

[@shamekasmith8881]

Ty so much

[@christinerose9561]

does this spray work on suede shoes? or does it discolor suede?

[@lynnmccready1416]

Christine Hannah

[@whiterosefaith1889]

Get the wood shoe stretcher from ebay.

[@joejackson8671]

Great video, going to pick one of these up.

[@jigggy13]

Which one do you recommend for high top sneakers.

[@sycoa]

i have suede vans shoes, to be honest i make want to strectch it half a size and width ways too, they are 10.5's and i think vans were made for slim feet, i must have wide feet also why did you not spray it on the inside?

[@dsteward85]

I wear a mens 9 shoe and was wondering if I should get the womens shoe stretcher instead since the mens one might be too big?

[@almostabbyy]

Can you use shoe stretchers on taller shoes? Like mid-calf length boots, and such?

[@mailasmultiverse]

Can this be used for snowboard boots?

[@armandadeveigamonteiro8457]

Hi, do you have a instep stretcher?

[@rashidagovan7662]

What can you use to stretch suede shoes?

[@andrewbendahan1379]

Shoe trees

[@tsurisofer]

Can I use it over a gore tex shoe?

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@jsarp12 They can be used on sneakers. I would order 2 sizes bigger for sneakers. If you wear a size 12, order a size 14

[@fredzeng7337]

Great video.

[@jebeja]

Excellent, informative, and worth while video. Thanks for posting.

[@eileenyw92]

Is it possible to stretch faux suede/ leather material?

[@Pouchy17]

BIG QUESTION. Does anyone know if this stretcher will work for High heels ABOVE the heel length of 4.5' ??

[@procurbusa]

Need my high tops a bit longer. Will this work?!

[@janessa2099]

I just bought your High Heel Stretcher! Hope it works!

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@ssskkksksksk Yes, The stretchers will work on synhtetic shoes as well. There is no need to use the stretching fluids on these types of materials. Just use the stretcher without the stretching fluids.

[@VTSWAGG]

Hey JOE how can I stretch leather shoes @ home without tools

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@lazyboyz Yes, They can be used on fabric also.

[@sjd11000]

does the shoe stretcher work with footbll shoes cuz my the fornt of my left foot feels tight form the toe section!!

[@joecobbler]

Yes, they will work for basketball sneakers. I would go up 2 sizes for sneakers. For example:if you wear a size 10, order a size 12 stretcher. Thanks,Joe

[@MessiBarca20244]

can it work on soccer cleats?

[@raffinataonline]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@مقاطعمتنوعة-ت4ن]

Does it work on leather shoes?

[@fabien82]

@ShoeCareSupplies Hi Joe, I have a pair of size 9 basketball shoes I would like to stretch to a 9.5..Should I use liquid, spray or a shoe stretcher like in your video?

[@sharonayd3169]

Sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a try and let you know how it works.

[@sutibum]

Did it work?

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

They work on work boots also. You should go up a size or 2 because boots are generally larger than dress shoes.

[@wordsarehalo]

Thank you sir, you just saved me a Lot of time!

[@andrewbendahan1379]

No heel?

[@juliehager9092]

What if I overstretch?

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@almostabbyy Our stretchers can be used on any length boot, makes no difference.

[@LyndaWang]

does it work on synthetic?

[@nadanalia3000]

Thanks Joe

[@kushheightselohimraah5335]

That was so wonderful

[@debyrd15]

Where do i get a shoe stretcher from

[@ShoeCareSupplies]

@Tahraqa They work on both left or right shoes

[@jony06]

Does this work on Athletic Shoes such as basketball shoes (Nike Lebron James 9) ? or this only works on Leather shoes ?

[@nybsbfan18]

hi where can i buy the corn/bunion attachment? my shoe stretcher is missing.

[@skat3rny69]

will this work for basketball shoes?

[@justinkalior666]

can you stretch tennis/skate shoes?

[@joecobbler]

It should stretch the shoes out about half a size width wise and if you get the 2 way stretcher, it will stretch about a quarter of a size lengthwise.

[@peekaboots01]

Thank you! That was helpful and informative.

[@529213]

can you use it with sneakers?

[@michellerene483]

Thank you so much, that was so helpful for me as a just bought a shoe stretcher. :)

[@abdulazizhamdan4979]

Michelle Rene does this work for ? Football shoe or any shoes

[@michellerene483]

All I can tell you as that I have very petite feet, a woman's 4-5, I used it on 2 pairs of wedges, and a pair of Keen snow boots and it worked well on all.

[@FreakingWierdxD]

But this only works for leather shoes am I right? I asked the nearest cobbler and he said my Nike Air Max can’t be stretched :/

[@joecobbler]

You can use any stretcher on non leather shoes or sneakers. All leather and manmade mateial will stretch out Thanks, Joe
