If I were to rank this year's purchases in order, I'd begin with my new mobile, and follow with these shoe stretchers. Not only are they great value for money, but they also arrive promptly. Most importantly of all, the simply design is effective at sorting out shoe issues.
I have massive misshapen clown feet. The shoes I am obliged to buy are never the right size or shape and leave me with painful areas all over my feet - I have to rotate my shoes which rub in different areas. These bad boys stretch, open up, increase comfort and keep the shape of your shoes. I'm using shoes that I've avoided for years. The little bobbins which you pop into the holes widen the specific areas that cause you grief, and can be moved to most areas of the design (though not, surprisingly, on the heel)
I've recommended them to a lot of people and all the company needs to provide now is a longer heel part so that I can do my higher heeled boots.
A must-have household accessory.
