What are shoe stretchers for?

Shoe stretchers are useful tools used to gently stretch the size and shape of tight or uncomfortable shoes. Usually made from wood or solid plastic, they are inserted into the shoe and moved to stretch the length, width, or painful pressure points, making the fit more tolerable. This is especially useful for breaking in new footwear or easing discomfort caused by conditions like bunions or corns. Many shoe stretchers come with removable plugs that target problem areas, allowing for a more customized fit. While they work better on leather or suede shoes, they can be a valuable addition to any shoe care routine, helping to reduce pain, prevent blisters, and extend the life of the shoes.
