I have very wide and muscular calves and thanks to this handy tool I don’t have to cut my boots anymore! I have had zero issue so far after having it for a week. The stretcher is a heavy metal tool, I’m sure it will be able to do its job for years to come if I just take care of it properly. I did successfully stretch one boot out over the last couple days, and just started working on the second boot. As you can see in the picture the boot is stretched! The other boot is untouched from Ariat so you can clearly see the major difference. I am very pleased with this stretcher! I stretched my boot as wide as I needed and there was still room to stretch with the tool. This was the best investment EVER!

This dye is easy to use. The most important part is to follow the correct procedures to apply. #1 remove all previously applied dyes. Then apply the dye and then the protectant. It will come out like brand new.
I own steel toe logging boots, other types of work boots, engineer boots and duty boots. Hard use wears down my heals long before the boots are worn out. These plates give me years of additional wear without replacing the soles or heels.
I love this product. I have used it for years. Leather, nu-buc, suede, canvas. I have cleaned Birkenstocks, canvas boat totes, cordura nylon hikers, jungle boots and converse all star chucks. Plus everything in between and has never let me down.
