Alleviate the pain of tight shoes with an affordable Shoe Stretcher
If your too-tight shoes have been causing bunions, toe pain
or other foot problems, consider a shoe stretcher to stop the problem
at its source. A shoe stretcher expands your shoes to give you a
more roomy, comfortable fit. The great thing about a shoe stretcher
is that it extends the use of your shoes through injuries and other
foot problems. Shoe stretchers are an inexpensive way to keep your
shoes fitting perfectly, no matter what your feet go through.
Here's how shoe stretchers work and how they can help you
keep your feet pain-free:
- Most shoe stretchers have a metal pole attached to two wooden
(or plastic) pieces that form the shape of a shoe.
- First, insert the wooden end of the shoe stretcher into the
shoe.
- Twist the metal pole on the shoe stretcher to separate the two
wooden pieces, and widen the front end of the shoe.
- Many shoe stretchers will allow you to put “plugs”
in the wooden portion of the shoe. This extra nub will allow your
shoe stretcher to stretch problem areas.
When looking for a shoe stretcher, consider how many pairs of shoes
on which you will be using the shoe stretcher. If it's just
for one or two pairs that are particularly tight, you may be able
to get away with a less expensive shoe stretcher. If a foot problem is causing you to stretch most or all of your shoes, it's important
to find a high-quality shoe stretcher made of durable materials.
