Product Information

Whether it’s a simple sole repair or something more involved like a scratch repair and polish, we can have you wearing your shoes again in no time. By wearing thick socks, you can help to stretch the material and give your feet more room, making it easier to break in the boots and improve their fit. Nylon, PVC, acrylic, polyurethane, and microfiber are all types of plastic that can be stretched using heat, cold, or shoe stretchers. In general, rubber boots are relatively easy to stretch and can usually be stretched by hand or with the help of a shoe stretcher or other stretching device.

And with a handy canvas bag included in the set, you can keep your newly stretched shoes looking fresh and clean. If there’s a particular pain point you want to get rid of, you can use shoe stretchers with adjustable plugs to stretch out that area. Shoe stretchers are designed to stretch the length and width of shoes, and can be used on a variety of shoe styles, including pumps, loafers, and sneakers.

It is important to be careful when using a leather-stretching spray or oil, as these products can potentially damage the boots if used excessively or applied too aggressively. Leather stretching spray gets the shoes just wet enough to stretch without damaging them and contains conditioners to keep the leather soft. Just keep in mind, shoe stretchers take some time to work, so don’t expect to pop them in and have stretched shoes within five minutes.
