Men’s Shoe Stretchers
Men’s shoe stretchers are invaluable little accessories that all adult men should own. Most men have a few pair of dress shoes in their wardrobe. And usually, men think long and hard before buying a pair of formal shoes, as they expect them to last for many years. And the fact is, men’s dress shoes by quality designers will last for many years or even decades if properly cared for.
But every man tends to have a pair of nice dress shoes that he doesn’t wear often, and usually it is because they do not fit well. Sometimes we buy a pair of new shoes that feel great in the showroom, only to bring them home and discover they’re really not that comfortable in day-to-day use. In these situations men’s shoe stretchers can really save the day by breaking in those problem shoes for you.

It is also a fact that men’s formal shoes, especially leather or suede, can shrink if they have not been worn in some time. This is another situation where a quality men’s shoe stretcher can help out. But whether you’re breaking in new shoes, or re-stretching old shoes that haven’t been worn in a while, you will need a good quality men’s shoe stretcher. So how do you decide which to choose?
There are three basic types of men’s shoe stretchers; the first type is the cheap plastic shoe trees you will find at many inexpensive shoe stores. These are of limited use and often wear out quickly, so in general they are not recommended.
The second type is the cedar or maple hardwood stretcher. These are also known as a one-way shoe stretcher, because they will expand only the width of the shoe. This type is of far greater quality and will tend to last a long time.
But ideally, every man should own the third type of shoe stretcher: the two way men’s shoe stretcher. Two way stretchers will expand both the width and the length of the shoe. These are far more versatile and practical than either of the other types, and a quality two way stretcher will last you a lifetime.
In addition, two way shoe stretchers often have holes along the front and sides of their surface that can be fitted with supplied orthopedic plugs. These plugs will expand your shoes in specific areas according to your needs. This can be a godsend if you have a tendency to blister in a certain area of your foot, or if you have corns or calluses on your feet.
Most quality two way stretchers will be made of cedar, which absorbs moisture and odor. After using the stretcher, you may notice that your shoes have the fresh clean smell of cedar — which is not a bad thing at all.
It is important to note that certain types of footwear require their own special stretchers or expanders, and standard men’s shoe stretchers will not be beneficial in these cases. Cowboy boots are one example of this, and you will need to buy a special stretcher made for boots to get good results in this case. Other high-top shoes will sometimes need a specific stretcher as well, but for 95% of men’s formal footwear, a regular two-way men’s shoe stretcher will do the trick.
