2-Way Stretcher made of beech wood with 3 buttons, metal mechanic Sz. L 44-46

A solid shoe stretcher made of lacquered beech wood with a stable 2-waymechanism made of metal, which can widen the front and lengthen the shoe.

The stretcher is straight (not paired), so you can extend both the rightand the left shoe with it.

With the shoe stretcher and the 4 different sizes of supplied buttons, youcan widen the front of your shoe at the point that presses your foot. If theshoe pinches in several places, you can also use several pads.

Insert the extender into your shoe. Turn the handle clockwise, the front partspreads. The handle with the metal bar remain outside the shoe and is not pushedinto the shoe like a shoe tree.

To stretch in length, fit the wooden wedge into the heel cap and with thesilver, knurled screw carefully create tension.

Moistening the shoe beforehand from the inside with very little warm wateror steam can help with the stretching process. It is even better to use a shoestretch spray such as Bufalo Shoe Stretch.

Let the shoe rest with the shoe expander for 24 to 48 hours. You could alsowiden the shoe bit by bit, so don't stretch it to the desired destination thefirst time, but turn the stretching device a little bit every few hours. So yougive the shoe or the leather the time it takes to get used to the new size.

Do not overtighten the stretcher, as the upper leather of your shoe, butalso the mechanics, could be damaged.

The shoe stretcher fits in almost all shoes without a shaft and with a flatheel.

With the shoe stretcher you can achieve a quick and noticeable success -you may even be able to "save" the last bad buy.
