If you need to make your shoes fit better then you will need a shoe stretcher. There are two types of shoe stretchers. One works to stretch both the width and the length of the shoe. This is known as a two way shoe stretcher and is a one size fits all style of stretcher. The other type will only stretch the width of the shoe. You must purchase this stretcher in the size of shoe that you are stretching.
FootFitter offers two way shoe stretchers that will allow you to get a bit more room both lengthwise and in the width of the toe, the heel or both. If you need your entire shoe just a bit larger as you are in between common shoe sizes, then this product would be worth the minor expense. This is all most people need when they consider purchasing a wooden shoe stretcher.
If you only need to stretch a certain area of the shoe, then you will not need everything that that two way shoe stretchers offers. You may only need the single stretch type of shoe stretcher. This will allow you to stretch just the toe or the heel of the shoe. You will need to purchase this type of shoe stretcher in the size range of shoes your size fits in.
The Red Star Gift shoe stretcher can be purchased in most of the common sizes. You may want to go one size up from the range offered as this stretcher seems to be a bit on the small size. For instance, if you wear a size 8, you may want to get the stretcher in a size 9 to offer you that much more stretch ability.
This is also a wooden shoe stretcher but it does not have the quality of wood that can be found with the FootFitter brand. Of course, this is not a problem as the cost is a bit lower with the Red Star Gift brand. Both of these products also come with plastic inserts that can be used to stretch a shoe for a corn or bunion that is causing pain.
You can stretch this area and have your shoes not pinch at those painful foot problems. If this is all you are purchasing a shoe stretcher for, then both of these products will work great for that. You will get the room you need to be comfortable in your shoes. This is the whole point of stretching your shoes after all.
If you are looking for one of the many shoe stretchers on the market, then you will want to consider these two brands of shoe stretcher. The FootFitter and the Red Star Gift brands offer different features in a shoe stretching. Both come with inserts that can make stretching for corns and bunions possible. The FootFitter is a bit pricier, but the product has a bit more quality to it than the Red Star Gift does.
