FootMatters Professional Boot & Shoe Stretch Spray – Softener & Stretcher for Leather – 4 oz

Does the job.

I like this product because it was easy to use i have a bunion on one foot and am using it to stretch my boot but i haven't finished with it yet .didn't like the smell much .the product was in perfect condition when delivered and came as promised

Not sure if it works too early to say

The spray worked well and softened the leather, however the stretchers were very small and wouldn’t expand enough to reach both sides of my size 10 shoes. They may be ok for ladies shoes but not the width of men’s shoes. In future I would just buy the spray.

it was too fiddly for my arthritc hands . so returned

I think this works but I am still trying it. Must say though that it does stain if you get it on the outside of the shoe

I have slightly wide feet and have always struggled with choosing between half a size too small or half a size too big. Typically leather boots would mold into the shape of your feet but that took many painful wears. Well, these shoes stretchers solved that problem within 2 days!In short: the spray did not stain my leather boots, had a slight smell when sprayed, and dried quickly. The shoe on the right is after using the stretcher ad spray solution, and the one on the left is what it was before.My boots’ material: full grain leather, conditioned at least twice and conditioned at least 1 month before applying this product.My process:First I tried on the boots with the socks I intended to use them with (quite thick camping socks) then note where the boots felt tight.Then I sprayed the inside of the boot (about 5-6 sprays, I turned the boot upside down for easier application), make sure you get the solution to where you want to stretch. Then I inserted the shoe stretchers (both of them) and twisted them until the leather felt tight. Let the shoe dry for one day.The next day, I did the same thing, except twisting the stretchers some more and sprayed on the outside. Let it dry for one more day.And tada!!! The results are in. They feel so comfortable now, even with the thick camping socks. The instructions say you only need to let your shoes dry overnight so you do not need to leave them for 2 days like I did.Love this product and will be buying more of the solution!

A little hard to use in ankle boots, as the angle makes it difficult to turn the center piece, but it worked to stretch out the toe box. I don't have particularly large feet, in fact they're quite small and narrow, but Dr. Scholl's shoes are weird with their sizing and an 8.5 would have been way too big, and with heeled boots, a rolled ankle risk. So I got my regular size 8 and decided to try these stretchers out, without really thinking much of then, but the spray and stretchers being a set really won me over. The spray dries fairly quickly, even while struggling to get the stretchers in, the spray was drying. It smells kind of like a rotting pumpkin, but that could be the suede lining of the boots mixing with what is obviously a high alcohol content spray. That being said, without warping the overall aesthetic of my shoes, they worked to stretch the toe box out well. I have them in there a second time, today, to get just a little bit more room, and intend to use it further inside the point of the boot (since it can shrink that small) to stretch the tip out just a wee smidge to smooth out the overall look of my shoe. I'm quite happy with the results, especially since this is my first time using shoe stretchers. Will probably hand this set off to my mum so she can stretch out a few pairs of her shoes as well.

I can't comment on the product's reliability yet because I just got it today, but I was anxious to try it. I was disappointed when the pump sprayer did not work and the liquid just seeped out from under the sprayer. I had to use the other cap and just squirt/pour it on the shoes so I'm not sure how wet I got it because I was trying not to waste the product.

I’ve used on two pairs and so far had great results. My feet are just wide enough that I have always either sized up, or squeezed my feet in narrow toe boxes.I recently bought some suede leather shoes that were too tight so I bought this in order to get a better fit.Now my feet feel great and will definitely keep using this for future pairs of tights shoes.UPDATE JUNE 2023~*~*~I was late to a party and I sprayed the solution on some booties that had straps across the top of the foot and had a slight pinch on the balls of my feets. In one hour they fit a lot better and although I expected some redness or blisters, this solution helped stretch the booties just enough.5 stars is not enough! 10/10 recommend

Tried using it on my leather shoes for 2 nights, did not seem to actually make a difference. Huge shame as it was $36.58 in Australia when the cost is actually about $10 in the US.
