BEST SHOE STRETCHERS FOR ALL

There are certain products that you never knew you needed, and yet, once had, you can’t imagine your life without them. For us, that includes towel warmers, a plush bathrobe, and now, shoe stretchers. The struggle to find perfect-fitting shoes is real. Chances are there’s at least one pair gathering dust in your closet, and not because you don’t want to wear them, but because they’re really uncomfortable to wear. Of course, you knew they were a tad too tight before buying them, but that didn’t stop you (and you’re not the only one, believe us).

Fortunately, shoe stretchers are the answer to your ill-fitting shoe woes. Never again will you need to squeeze your feet into shoes that are too small, nor will you be forced to endure the discomfort that comes with breaking in new shoes. We’ve gathered up some of the best shoe stretchers on the market below.

1.TARGETS SMALL AREAS

This cast iron FootFitter shoe stretcher is a heavy-duty option that can reach deep into shoes and low-cut boots to stretch areas of the shoe that affect bunion sufferers. Thanks to its ball-and-ring design, it can specifically target small areas to stretch shoes several inches.

2.MADE TO LAST

If you’re able to spend a bit more, opt for a wood stretcher like this one from FootFitter. The sturdy Beechwood material will last you even longer than its plastic counterparts, but its price tag for a single stretcher is significantly steeper.

3.FOR BUNION SUFFERERS

For anyone suffering from bunions, these stretchers take it a step further. They come with eight optional plugs that can further stretch specific areas of your shoes that put repeated pressure on bunions. While this stretcher won’t work on boots, it’s compatible with nearly every other type of shoe.

4.SMALL AND EFFECTIVE

FOOTMATTERS

Premium Shoe Stretch Spray & Mini Stretchers

This premium shoe stretch spray and mini stretcher set works in two ways to stretch out shoes. First, the spray-on solvent helps break down and loosen the fibers of the leather or other natural materials. Then, the plastic expanders help physically create more space. The result is up to several more inches of space created in your brand-new shoes, making them more comfortable to wear.

5.BEST FOR HIGH HEELS
