Most shoe repairers stock a shoe stretcher in one shape or form, at £4.95 + Postage buying on-line makes it expensive
I sell shoe stretcher at £3.60 & 3-4 pound is the typical UK price bracket.
I also only charge a couple of pounds to put them on my stretcher, so why not take the worry away completely & drop them into your cobblers for a stretching!

Hey Lee,
I've just found a lovely pair of vintage boots in a size 2 and a half. They're great once i get them on but too hard to get on and off. I'd like to get them stretched but the cobbler I went to said he couldn't because with out a zip there was no way to get the boots on the stretcher - are all stretchers like this or should I keep looking for a cobbler who can help
Stretching boots - any tips?
