Saved my shoes!
I had to have surgery on my toes and it ended up making my feet just a little wider at the toes, but my heels were still narrow. I was so worried that I would never be able to get back into my adorable shoe collection and that any new shoes I bought would never fit correctly - wide enough for my toes would be too wide for my heels. I decided to give this item a try and along with Shoe Stretcher Spray it gave me back my shoes. I wear about a size 6 so I purchased the small. My heels are all 3" to 4" and I had no trouble getting it to work with any of them. However, I do not wear pointed toe shoes so that was not an issue I had to face. I found it to work exactly as it was described, that its performance is improved when I use the spray, and that it is well worth the price considering the amount of money it saved me in the long run.

An ok product....
Well, this item does the job. It stretches your shoe. However, this item has the look and feel of something made in woodshop. The wood was cut unevenly down the center...the pin in the back squeaks when you turn it.

Like everyone on here says, it doesn't really work on pointed-shoes...but I think it works well enough.

I think its an ok product...its just too expensive for the quality and the shipping is $8!

Makes any shoe comfortable!
The high heel shoe stretcher is one of the best purchases I've ever made on Amazon and I've recommended it to many friends. Quality of the item is good. I wear a size 6.5 shoe and got the medium.

I bought this because I have average-size bunions at the joint of my big toe. Most shoes fit me uncomfortably tight in the toe box. Now, I can make any shoe comfortable! No more painful pinching or digging in. Both leather and synthetic shoes have stretched well. I was surprised to find the unit fit easily into both flats and heels, including some pushing the 4" heel limit. What's really great is the ability to duplicate the approximate width of your foot and the locations of any bunions. You won't be sorry with this purchase. I'm considering buying a second one so I can stretch both shoes at the same time (I've gotten best results when the stretcher is in place for a few hours at a time, so you do need to plan ahead somewhat).

Side note: I also bought the flat shoe stretcher thinking I needed separate units for flats vs. heels. But, the flat shoe strecher is TOO flat and wide to fit into anything. It seems like it's designed for a man's foot rather than woman's. Quality is also quite poor. It falls apart when you try to use it.

Great!
This is my new toy! It has saved me hundreds of dollars in shoe replacements. I broke my foot a few months ago and this shoe stretcher has worked incredibly well as far as making my shoes comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone.

best shoe stretcher .
This shoe stretcher is so much easier to use than any I have used in the past. It gets to the toes of my 2" high heels. Really does the job well. I recommend it.
