Do you have shoes which are tight because your feet have spread? Or maybe bunions or hammertoes, which make your shoes uncomfortable to wear? Before throwing out the shoes, try stretching them! With a Platinum Professional Shoe Stretcher from Heritage Shoe Care, you can stretch tight shoes to fit better. Simply insert the shoe stretcher into the shoe, turn the screw until the stretcher is slightly expanding the shoe, and let it set for a day. If that's not enough, keep pressuring the shoe until it feels better. The Platinum Professional Shoe Stretcher comes with a metal bunion attachment, which can be inserted into a pre-drilled hole on the side or top of the shoe stretcher for an extra stretch in the problem area.
A couple of tips for stretching shoes:
- Leather uppers will stretch permanently, but synthetic uppers will not.
- Wetting the problem area with water will soften the leather, making it easier to stretch.
- Stretching can take some time, so give it days, not hours!
