This was perfect. I bought two pair of Tom's shoes which I absolutely loved, but they were really tight in the toes. I knew they would stretch over time, but within two days this magic machine did the work for me. Love this.

This thing is amazing! I bought this to stretch out a pair of heels. Very easy to use and worked. Much easier than taking to a shoe repair to have them stretch the shoes. Well worth the price.

This was perfect! Provided just enough stretch to a favorite pair of pumps that I had to stop wearing because they were causing blisters. I am going to use these on several problem shoes. Why suffer? Now you don't have to.

It really works! This tool is priceless and will now be a staple in my home. I cannot believe that I did mot own one! It has given life to some narrow shoes that I had. Some shoes require a little longer, depending in how narrow they are. It may be a good investment to have two. But if there is no rush, one is just fine!

This is the stretcher I've been looking all over for! It is especially nice because it has the knobs to place where you might need extra room in the toe box area. I would recommend ordering two so you don't have to just do one shoe at a time. I'm ordering my second one right now!

This thing does work but if you have several pairs of shoes that you want to stretch, I suggest buying two of these babies so you can do 1 pair at a time instead of 1 shoe at a time.

Love these stiletto stretcher!!! They are so awesome I am buying 1 more to have 2. This way I may stretch 1 pair at a time instead of 1 show at a time. Plus they are attractive to see.

Works well in stilettos. Angled wooden part fits into the highest heel. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that the metal handle can press down on the back of the shoe if you're not careful. Overall though it does the job quickly and well. I would recommend buying two so you can stretch both shoes at the same time.

This works pretty well. I used it in an open-toe platform show and it did a nice job. The only downside is it is made with wood and the hole is starting to strip out because I cranked it down to the widest setting. It still works, though and my shoes fit!

My suggestion is to buy two of these so you can do one pair of shoes at a time and not just one shoe at a time...it's great, they really work.

Doesnt work as well as i thouht it would. But it somewhat does the job. I had to keep this in my heels for at least 2 days, though the heels were not as stretched as i though theyd be. I guess it also depends on the quality and how theyre made.

Given all the reviews about this breaking, I was a little careful with it. I had one point on the side of my shoe that was pinching. It took two tries to get the little nubbin in the right location. After the first overnight stretch I had dented the shoe, but in the wrong place. The second overnight stretch worked better, but still not in the quite right place. There just was not a hole for the nubbins in the place I needed it. But the shoe stretched a bit overall, so that helped.
So the shoe stretcher worked, but not for what I needed it to do.

Both broke the first time! I just received it. I was so happy. That changed real quickly. I bought two and both broke. I was going to use the one and take the other as a loss but when the second broke I said forget it. Do not buy! It is made of plastic and glue so that is the problem. My poor Christian Louboutins heels!

Not sure how I feel about this product since mine broke just after a couple uses. I'm tempted to buy another one and try it again. It seems like it works if you leave it in shoe for a couple days, stretching a little more each day. The little buttons are a nice feature so you can 'customize' the stretching to your needs. It should be sold in pairs, since it's a bit silly to have to do one shoe at a time, especially when it seems to take more than one night to stretch the shoes.

The concept of this product is awesome. I would give this review 5 stars but the stretchers broke on the second day. I think the product was dry rotted. Unfortunately, I purchased the stretchers for a pair of shoes to wear on vacation. I was not able to send them back because I threw the box away before I departed. Although my shoes did stretch after one use, I would recommend just going to your local shoe repair and having them stretched. Then I would use the kiwi shoe stretcher to maintain the shape. Save the money.

Was so hoping this would work, but after using it 3 times to try to stretch out a pair of satin heels it didn't make a difference. Maybe the fabric of the shoe matters. The stoppers were a little difficult to put in, but they will go in with a little twisting and turning. As a plus, the 4 stoppers came in different shapes and sizes.

This worked the first few times I used it, then it broke. For almost the price that's definitely not worth it. It is poorly made.

I bought two of these because almost all pumps are a tad too tight in the shoe box if I buy a pair that won't slip off my heels when I walk. The first time I used them, they worked perfectly and I though that finally I was going to be able to wear pumps again. The second time I used them, one of them broke. So did my heart, as those heel grips don't work for me. I wish I could send the pieces back for a refund!

Very poorly made. It broke as I was twisting the knob to stretch my shoe; never even got the chance to use it. I have to return it.
