Thanks for that!  Never saw one of those before.  

Just checked .... looks like I'm Egyptian (or maybe Norwegian) on the right and Mongolian on the left.  

Right foot is my problem foot.  Really loooong big toe!

If your right foot is a little larger, then you're 98% likely to be right handed.  Put your hands exactly together.  The right hand will be 1/8 to 1/4th larger.

OK .... I am right-handed.  

BUT .... palms are both the same size but fingers on left hand are a bit longer than right.

Knuckles match ... just the tips are longer. EVERY finger!!

Actually, my whole right side is rather odd, including different vision and hearing right vs. left.

@ECBG   Sitting her barefoot, gazing at my feet/toes. Not sure what type of feet I have...maybe a cross between 2 of 3? Mongolian and African?

A shoe tree or wooden shoe stretchers is a device that is placed inside a shoe to approximate the shape of a foot in order to keep its shape, prevent wrinkles, and so increase the life of the shoe. Obiously it will work .This is an new way to make your shoe like new for long period.

This is a discussion on wooden stretchers made to stretch a shoe for additional width.

You are discussing a shoe "tree".

Oh, this is easy! 

When I'd buy new shoes, flats or heels, I'd put on a thin pair of socks and then put the shoes on, making the fit tight.  I would then spray the entire outside of the shoes with Kiwi Shoe Stretch and wait a moment to let them dry.   Magic is happening.

(Leave the shoes and socks on for a minute or two.)

The entire shoe would "relax" ever so slightly, making them a pleasure to wear ..... after I removed the thin socks, of course.  It works on expensive leather shoes without staining the leather, regardless of color.  I rarely needed to spray the leather a second time.

This is similar to alcohol in it dries quickly.   Liquid is liquid.  Water works as well.

i spray water on the inside and then put shoe stretcher, in. i usually get just enough to make shoes wearable. i have bunions, so i put the little bump out nub, on the wooden stretch and it works great.

if i wash tennies, i stuff with newspapers or paper towels, to keep shape while they dry.

I have a pair of suede dessert boots that were a pinch too small since my feet and ankles had swollen a bit. I brought them to the cobbler and he was able to stretch them. I wear them still, and in comfort. Thanks Tucker!
