What shoe materials do shoe stretcher devices work on?

It is critical to consider the material you are trying to stretch. Certain materials are not compatible with any shoe expander. For example, the two-way shoe stretcher works best for leather shoes. The major limitation comes in place of the flexibility of the material. But, there are many which can easily be used with any stretcher. For example, suede and a variety of leather can be used. You can also stretch out shoes a little made up of canvas or fabric material – Use a stretcher in shoes that are damp but not completely wet. If you have problem areas, this would be the best time to use the plugs for bunions that came with your stretcher. Leave in overnight (12-24 hours) or till completely dry, and do not add heat to shoes while stretching (hairdryer or clothes dryer). A stretcher can be your best friend or a big help getting your shoes back to their original size after washing fabric or clothe shoes like the converse all-star.

How to Stretch Shoes?

One of the most frequently searched things on the web is “how to stretch shoes” Have you ever bought the perfect pair of shoes only to find that they are just a notch tighter than you want them to be? While returning them is always an option, it is always possible that you do not want to do so. As such, you need to find an alternative that will allow you to wear these shoes comfortably. There are many stretchers on the market today, But they are not created equal. Only the best is good enough; why buy one that will break after a few use while you can get one to last you a lifetime.

1. Use a Shoe Stretcher

You can stuff socks into your shoes or old crumpled newspaper, but most times they do not work, or you have to do them several times, but if you buy the best shoe stretching tool, you are sure to get the job done right the first time quick and easy. Shoe stretching tools can correctly adjust the length as well as the width of the shoes. The knob can be turned to adjust the stretcher and get the shoe fits right.

We generally buy shoes that are one size smaller than our original size as shoes tend to expand with regular usage. Before wearing shoes, one should stretch them and then try them on to really fit them well. If the brand provides you with a warning that the shoes cannot stretch any further, you should find your correct size and buy the shoes.

Directions on how to stretch shoes using a Two-way stretcher for width and length stretching

  • First, to soften the material of your shoe, it is highly recommended that you apply a shoe stretch spray on the inside of the area that needs to be stretch. This makes the job a lot easier. However, you should test the liquid before using it.
  • The first section or the toe section is fitted with various holes of different sizes. A removable corn piece is different in size; this one can be fitted into one of the holes where the pressure point is located. There are some pressure points; then, several corn pieces can be fitted.
  • Right before you insert the stretcher inside the shoe, it is recommended that you rotate the black structure of a wheel anticlockwise so that the back portion of the shoes very nears the front section of the two-way shoe stretcher.
  • Now carefully place the stretcher inside the shoe. Now turn the wheel clockwise you will see that the heel section is gradually moving towards the heel of your shoe. Once you reach a resistance factor, the shoe is starting to stretch.
  • Once you see that the desired length has been reached, you can now turn the hook handle clockwise. Do the same for about two to three times more.
  • Keep the stretcher in the previous condition for about 10–12 hours and to remove the stretcher, turn the wheel and the hook handles counterclockwise.

The second kind of stretcher is a one-way stretcher. This kind is the easier one to use. This is made from wood most of the time. The shape of it is just like that of a shoe. All you need to do is, insert it inside the shoe push it till the shoe becomes of the size or width you want it to be. However, the extent of stretching depends on what kind of stretcher you purchase. You need to keep the shoe in that condition for quite some time and then remove it.
