MEDca Shoe Stretcher #shoestretcher

MEDca Shoe Stretcher

I love shoes!  I buy them when I like the look, I buy them when they are comfortable, trendy, a cool color, you name it!  I even buy them when they don't quite fit! (yikes)

So I have a couple pair of booties and a couple pair of pumps that I really like, but can only wear when I know I'm not going to be walking much or wearing them for a very long period.

So when I got the opportunity to review the MEDca Shoe Stretchers pictured above, I was anxious to try them on my slightly unwearable but really lovely shoes!  

These shoe stretchers are really two plastic rounded sides, with an attached screw, that twists into the middle piece, allowing you to adjust how far apart each end is, so that you can slide it into your shoe, tightly, so they can do their stretching job.  It seems like an easy enough task, but it has to be adjusted outside of the shoe, which makes it a little harder. You put the shoe stretchers in and out of your shoes until you finally get to the right length where they fit in tight enough to stretch, but not too tight that they won't fit where you want them, or slide right out.  The ends are a brown, smooth, plastic piece.  What I had trouble with was finding the right distance and getting them in the shoe.  I also had trouble with the smooth finish, which makes them want to slide back up, which isn't going to help your shoe stretch!  It would be easier if you could adjust the stretcher while it was in the shoe.

So, in conclusion, the MEDca Shoe Stretchers work in certain situations, they did stretch my pumps a bit and do feel better when wearing them around the house.  I couldn't get them inside my boots, I just didn't find the right distance where they would fit tight and seem like they would do any stretching of the shoe.  When I did get them in there where they would seem to do good, they would slip.  This might have been due to the felt-like, soft material inside the boot.  

I received this product at a discount to use and test in exchange for my opinions and honest review.
