			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-128" title="Stretching Leather Shoes" src="http://www.shoestretcher.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Stretching-Leather-Shoes.jpg" alt="" width="115" height="115" />It’s very rare that you find a nice pair of leather shoes that actually feel comfortable on your feet fresh out of the box.  Leather often takes time to mold and wear in to form the contour of your feet before they start to feel good.  This entire process takes time and the leather shoes can actually hurt your feet and rub blisters on them before they get worn in.  Stretching leather shoes out using a shoe stretcher may be the best way to speed this process up.</p>
<p>There are many types of shoe stretchers that can work to loosen up your leather shoes, but you want to make sure you get the right one and that you know what you are doing beforehand.  If you use the wrong shoe stretcher or overdo it, you can ruin your nice new leather shoes.</p>
<p>By far the most efficient and economical way to enlarge your shoes is to purchase a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SONAG4?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=shoestretcher0e-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000SONAG4">Shoe Stretcher Spray (view it here)</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=shoestretcher0e-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000SONAG4" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. Alternatively take a look at the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&#038;x=16&#038;ref_=nb_sb_noss&#038;y=18&#038;field-keywords=Shoe%20Stretcher&#038;url=search-alias%3Daps&#038;_encoding=UTF8&#038;tag=shoestretcher0e-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957">Best Selling Shoe Stretchers on Amazon</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=shoestretcher0e-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></p>
<p>Some shoes will be stubborn in loosening them up.  These shoes may require some sort of lubricant to be applied before you try and stretch them out.  This lubricant will work its way into the leather and help it stretch it out and hold that stretch permanently.</p>
<p>If you have never used a shoe stretcher before, it might be a good idea to ask someone for help so you don’t ruin your expensive pair of leather shoes before you even get to wear them.  Stretching leather shoes certainly works, but only if you do it the right way and use the proper shoe stretcher.  Ask a professional for help before you attempt it yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-123" style="margin: 10px;" title="Shoes Stretching" src="http://www.shoestretcher.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Shoes-Stretching.jpg" alt="" width="115" height="115" />A shoe stretcher is a nifty little gadget that can help you relieve some pain in your feet.  If your shoes feel just a little bit too small and are rubbing and creating blisters on your feet, shoes stretching can certainly help make those just big enough so that the shoes won’t rub your feet anymore.  Here are a few more facts about shoe stretchers.</p>
<p>It’s best to keep in mind the fact that not all shoes are meant to be stretched.  You can easily ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes by trying to make them bigger with a shoe stretcher.  They even make different stretchers for different types of shoes.  So make sure you know what you are buying before you buy and that they will actually work on the shoes that you want them to work on.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&#038;x=16&#038;ref_=nb_sb_noss&#038;y=18&#038;field-keywords=Shoe%20Stretcher&#038;url=search-alias%3Daps&#038;_encoding=UTF8&#038;tag=shoestretcher0e-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957">View the bestselling Shoe Stretchers ~ online for low prices and fast shipping…</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=shoestretcher0e-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></p>
<p>A good rule of thumb to go by is that if the shoes are made from natural materials like leather or suede, they can easily be stretched…to a certain degree.  If you have out grown your shoes by a full size or two, don’t waste your money on buying a shoe stretcher, you are likely going to need to buy a new pair of shoes instead.</p>
<p>Shoes stretching can help make your old shoes just a little bit bigger.  It is not going to make your shoes become an entirely new size.  They work great to relieve pain if your shoes are just barely rubbing your feet, you’ve already grown to your adult maximum size, and just need your shoes to be a little bit bigger or wider.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes you purchase a pair of shoes that are just a wee bit tight. What can you do? </p>
<p>If you know how to stretch leather shoes, then you can get the fit just right. Here’s how.</p>
<p>1. First you need to purchase a shoe stretcher, take a look at the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&#038;x=16&#038;ref_=nb_sb_noss&#038;y=18&#038;field-keywords=Shoe%20Stretcher&#038;url=search-alias%3Daps&#038;_encoding=UTF8&#038;tag=shoestretcher0e-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957">Best Selling Shoe Stretchers on Amazon</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=shoestretcher0e-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />. These are devices which fit into the shoe.  </p>
<p>They come in standard sizes. Depending on the model, it can either stretch the length or width or both.</p>
<p>2. Wear the shoes and decide which area is too tight.  Some models have buttons you can add to localized areas to stretch out small sections where a bunion or corn might be.</p>
<p>3. You also need to purchase <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SONAG4?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=shoestretcher0e-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000SONAG4">Shoe Stretcher Spray (view it here)</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=shoestretcher0e-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000SONAG4" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. It helps the leather to stretch a little easier and avoids tearing or cracking.  </p>
<p>Insert the shoe stretcher. Then spray the shoe with the stretching compound.</p>
<p>4. Start to expand the shoe stretcher in the direction desired. It is advisable to stretch just a little at a time.  </p>
<p>Try it and then wear the shoes for a while to see it feels. If it seems still too tight, then reinsert the shoe stretcher and expand it a little further.</p>
<p>5. Keep increasing it slightly and then try the shoes on to get the best fit. Remember you can always stretch the shoes a little more if they are too tight but it’s next to impossible to shrink them if you go too far.</p>
<p>By taking your time, and stretching a bit at a time, you can typically stretch your leather shoe out enough to provide you with the extra room you need, but still be tight enough not to wobble around on your feet.</p>
<p>&#8221; By far the most efficient and economical way to enlarge your shoes is to purchase a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SONAG4?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=shoestretcher0e-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000SONAG4">Shoe Stretcher Spray (view it here)</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=shoestretcher0e-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000SONAG4" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you have grown out of your shoes, have different sized feet, or have bunions, it is important you understand that it is possible to stretch your shoes. With a few simple steps, you can be on your way to walking with nothing but comfort. Here are some details on how to stretch shoes the right way.</p>
<p>The first step to stretching your shoes is finding a professional quality shoe stretcher. You will be able to find this at any of your local shoe repair shops or online via a site like Amazon, in fact Amazon have a huge range, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&#038;x=16&#038;ref_=nb_sb_noss&#038;y=18&#038;field-keywords=Shoe%20Stretcher&#038;url=search-alias%3Daps&#038;_encoding=UTF8&#038;tag=shoestretcher0e-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957">take a look at the most popular</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=shoestretcher0e-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />. If you are a lady looking to stretch your shoes out, it is important you understand that the shoe stretchers go by shoe size and they are designed for both low heel and high heel shoes.</p>
<p>The next step is to purchase a bottle of liquid shoe stretch to spray on your shoes. You will spray this prior to placing the wooden shoe stretcher in your shoe so that the shoes will get the best results. If you have leather shoes, you will get the best results with the liquid shoe stretch spray, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000POJHFA?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=shoestretcher0e-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000POJHFA">you can also find this on Amazon</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=shoestretcher0e-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000POJHFA" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>
<p>Once you have placed the shoe stretcher in the shoe, you will want to leave it in overnight. If you feel your shoes need to be stretched more, you can leave them in for up to 48 hours. This will allow your shoes to stretch as much as they are capable of stretching.</p>
<p>If you have always wondered how to stretch shoes, it really is a simple process. By following the basic steps in this article, you will be on your way to enjoying your favorite pair of shoes comfortably.</p>
