This is my first ever pair of shoe stretchers, and I am looking forward to working my way through pairs of shoes I have purchased and hardly worn over the years because I found them uncomfortable. One pair has already been revived, and there are many more awaiting their turn. I considered much cheaper versions of seemingly similar products, but ultimately decided this is likely one of those products where you get what you pay for. I’m not going to trash the other products (especially since I chose not to try them), but I do not regret my decision in the least. The minute I opened the box, I could tell these were a quality product, and I honestly can’t see any chance they will need to be replaced in my lifetime. Solid construction, smoothly operating, and effective. While it seems you can find cheaper shoe-stretchers out there, I can’t imagine you will find better shoe-stretchers out there.
