Stretching Shoes - Page 3

For years I used to take my shoes to a local cobbler to stretch out professionally, was so happy when 'wide' shoes became more available in multiple styles.

I recently discovered that my old Eddie Bauer waterproof work boots are just a bit tighter now. This is due to my having surgery on my right big toe (it is fused at a slight angle) and the joint is a bit bigger post surgery. I also have tailor's bunion on my left foot. So I just bought a boot stretcher to see if I can create just a bit more room to accommodate my post surgery foot. Hope it works because I love my old work boots. Just one more thing as I get older......

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

Over tighten since manmade doesn't want to stretch at all. The more thin the boot is, the better.
