FootFitter Premium 3”-6” High Heel Shoe Stretcher (Women’s Small 4-6)

I wouldn't say this is very useful for wide feet, as it only stretches the toe box, but I have found this to be an incredibly valuable tool. I have bunions and if I buy wide shoes or a larger size, the back of my foot would slip out, so being able to only stretch the front part of the shoe is very useful. I use this "heel stretcher" for flats, boots, and heels, and it works well for all. The spot stretching tools are awesome and made all my leather shoes comfortable. If you have a pair of flats that cut into your bunion, this stretcher can help with that too. There was one reviewer who said that the stretcher got stuck to the inside leather lining of the shoe and when ripping it out, the leather lining ripped. That happened to me when I sprayed a stretching spray on the inside of the shoe, so I'd recommend using a single-use thin sock over the stretcher if you want to use a spray.

Bought two of these for one specific pair of shoes that were too tight in the toe box even after having taken them to the shoe repair shop to get them stretched. So glad I did! It did take me a few days to get my shoes to fit exactly right. Each day I would turn the crank one tiny bit more. After trying them on to see where there was still some pressure on my foot, I added the metal spot stretching plug on each one. Now these shoes feel like they were custom made for my feet! No more wasted time driving to a shoe repair shop. And… there are a few other pairs of shoes in my closet just lining up for the same treatment. Be confident and patient. You can do this. These were a little pricey, but in the long run I feel they will save me money and precious time.

This is an old school, well made product! I used mine without any additional spray and it worked, although I suspect it may require a bit more patience then with the spray. The attachment for bunions is so handy and exactly what I needed the stretcher for since bunions had made some of my favorite shoes too uncomfortable too wear. This provided just enough stretch in the perfect spots to allow me to wear my fabulous shoes again. Be advised, this is only for one shoe stretcher, so you have to either rotate which shoe you’re stretching or buy two stretchers. Great product, though!

This is only ONE shoe tree. Every other product that I viewed offered one PAIR. i cannot say this is dishonest, but it is very deceptive. Thankfully it does work and it appears to be well-made, but it takes twice as long to stretch a pair of shoes and you need to change the plugs from one side to the other each time you use it instead of just leaving them in place. Not sure if I'm going to keep it.

Fantastic! Many times better than the less expensive brands. I have some swelling (and developed a small bunion) after foot surgery and needed to stretch some high heels. After breaking my cheap shoe stretcher, I bought this brand and couldn't be happier. The sizing is correct - I wear around 39 / 8.5 shoe and purchased the Large (women's 8-10.5), which worked well for almost all my shoes. A few of my shoes were very pointy, and wanting to get a tiny bit extra width at the very tip, I purchased the Medium size as well. I used the FootMatters Prof. boot and leather stretch, and my shoes are perfect now! This product is very well made and worth every penny.

Great to widen shoes, easy to use and width lasts..Used on very high heeled shoes

It's a beautiful product and well made. Very sturdy. I couldn't give it five stars though because it seriously messed up a pair of my shoes before I figured out a hack to prevent the problem. Basically, you buy these because your feet are wide and you want to turn regular shoes into wide (or regular into specially shaped) shoes, right? In the closed position, these are soooo narrow. I had to crank them a million times before they even touched the side of my boots. Then I had to crank them a million more times before they put any significant pressure on the sides. I sprayed the inside with alcohol pre-stretching and left the form in for 24 hrs. The boots stretched (five stars!), but then I realized that in cranking and cranking, a metal part of the form-crank extended beyond the bottom of the wood and pressed into the sole of the shoe. It put a significant dent in the already thin soles of my brand new boots. My hack is to put a hard plastic dish scraper in the bottom of the shoe before stretching so the errant crank presses on the plastic, not the shoe. With that, it works great, but the product doesn't deserve 5 stars because that is such a huge design problem.

High heels are essential for me and I own many pairs of high platform heels. However over the years I've begun to develop bunions on my already wide feet, which require me to always get my shoes stretched, which can add up in cost. This shoe stretcher has worked wonders on my shoes because it has the inserts that lets you target problem areas like bunions, pinky toe, etc. I've tried different tricks - putting a bag of water into shoes and letting them freeze, wearing a sock and jamming it into my shoe and walk around for a bit, and jamming another shoe into my shoe to stretch - all of which never worked. This looks like it's made of very high quality materials and is sturdy. What I have found works best is if I put the stretcher in my shoe, blow-dry my shoe on high for 20 seconds, then let my shoe sit for 24 hours. Sometimes I have to do this twice if I feel like it didn't stretch enough. But being able to do this in the comfort of my own home is so convenient. Note that this only comes with ONE stretcher.

I bought a pair of Rachel Simpson heels which are hand-made in Spain out of leather and suede. The shoes are a standard width and I have extra-wide feet (UK 4/EU 37/US 6.5 extra wide). The shoe-stretcher is super easy to use, very sturdy, and the real MVPs are the attachments that can stretch specific points. I bought a women's medium and as soon as I got it in the mail I popped it into one of the shoes and left it for 24 hrs. The stretch was fantastic and the shoe completely undamaged. After three alternating 24hr sessions in each shoe (so took about six days all together since there is only one stretcher per order), the shoes fit perfectly and still look as beautiful as the day I got them. Life's too short to wear uncomfortable high heels and if you have wide feet, this shoe-stretcher is seriously a game-changer. Can't believe I've gone this long without one!

So many of my shoes are wearable again. So grateful. A note that they are sold individually. So if you want two, buy two.

I got this lifesavers for my louboutin shoes which I got a full size too small (cause they were on sale). I was told that the size should be fine when I break into them. I couldn't wait for the slow process (I couldn't stand the soccer method past 10min) and I was considering selling them. But then I got the footfitter! It's a total game changer for my heels! The surface of the footfitter is smooth so I did have to worry about it scratching the shoe. Just after a few hours of stretching it, I was finally confident with my ability to stand on my shoes all day. I had to play around with the beads a little to get the extra stretch I wanted. I only got one footfitter so I was able to compare the different between the stretched and unstretched side and it's huge. This is worth it!

I ordered the largest size and it suits me, as a size 11. Smooth finish and well constructed. This is good enough for me to buy the same product for flat shoes and feel confident.

Love this product. High quality and easy to use. Worked perfectly on a pair of new Prada heels my wife wanted to wear to a wedding. We only purchased one so had to alternate the stretching but great results.
