Shoe stretcher

Instructions for stretching/expanding shoes with our stretchers:

1. Before inserting the stretcher, moist the outside and the inside of the shoe where you intend to stretch it with a leather softener. We recommend Tarrago Shoe Expander which is specially developed for this purpose.
2. If you want to stretch out one or more specific points, use the knobs provided and place them on the stretcher where you wish to stretch out the shoe. If the knobs do not end up exactly where you want to expand it, adjust the entire stretcher in the shoe so that the knobs are positioned correctly.
   If you only want to extend the width of the shoe, do not use the knobs, just the stretcher itself.
3. When the stretcher is placed in the shoe, screw on both the adjustment hook and the adjustment ring until the stretcher fills the shoe and makes contact with the leather of the shoe. Now turn the rear hook to stretch the block in width/width and the adjusting ring to increase the pressure on the length. Do not turn more than 4 turns, otherwise the pressure may be too great and damage the leather.
4. Let the stretcher sit for 8 hours and then remove the block and try on the shoes. If the shoe needs more stretching, repeat the process.

Note, we take no responsibility for any damage to the shoes as a result of stretching, since it depends on several factors regarding quality, condition etc. of the shoes that we cannot influence.
