Worked great! March 1, 2010 James R. McDonald (South Carolina) I've always had problems getting shoes that fit. I find Sperry top-siders, or billfish are usally comfortable, but with so much production going to China, attention to sizing is questionable. I have used these shoe trees and they worked well. Make the shoe a little wet, and apply pressure with the tool. Add additional pressure, but not to the point to dammage the tool ( it is not the best quality construction) and leave them expanded for several days, perhaps a week. Sometimes adding additional tension during this time is good. Do not forget to use the little plastic toe pieces to get the best custom fit.
You get what you pay for. January 30, 2010 Yuck Great idea, questionable execution.
The width adjustment does not work on one of these.
The other works fine.
Worked Like a charm September 15, 2009 awdx111 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Worked like they were suppose to. Put them in my shoes that were uncomfortably tight on my feet for about 4 or 5 days. Now I can wear the shoes with room to spare.
Wooden Shoe Strectcher August 3, 2009 J. Lu 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
When I opened the box, one of the shoe stretcher was crack. I don't know if it was crack in transit or it was crack in the first place. So i return it.
Designed to fail July 18, 2009 Bobby Jeffcoat (San Antonio, TX USA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Using a plastic wing-nut on a metal threaded shaft to drive the mechanism to "stretch" the width of the shoe is a guarantee of eventual failure. The plastic wing-nut can be replaced with an 8 mm metal wing-nut for about 70 cents each. Screw it onto the shaft "backwards" for the best function. While replacing the wing-nut, consider using a larger washer, too. I expect that the plastic piece at the end of the threaded rod will eventually fail, but I know of no easily available hardware that might work. For about $2 this product could be greatly improved, but as it is, it was designed to fail.
