I like a brand of shoes and boots that are too tight across the arch of my foot, but they have great room in the toe area, so I needed this stretcher to stretch the shoes and boots where my arch is.
This was a great price for this particular stretcher, and they shipped it right away, the post office just kept delaying my delivery and so it arrived about 3 days later than they originally said I would get it, but that was due to the post office and not this seller.
I have had it 2 days now and I have already stretched one pair of shoes and working on a pair of boots now. On this second pair I decided to try Domingo's idea from his review and add cardboard spacers in the heel box of the boots, I might go back to the first pair of shoes I did and use the cardboard spacers on them and stretch them a bit more, but the stretcher is well made and is working great. It will get the job done.
