CollonilStretch Shoe Boot Leather stretcher 100ml

I am so thrilled with this stuff! I'm size 4 and a half, my feet are wider than normal('E' fit), and I have plantar-fascitis. Due to this it has been EXTREMELY difficult finding shoes to fit my feet. Any shoes or trainers I tried always seemed to be tight on certain points and dig in to my feet after walking in them - even if they hadn't seemed too bad when first tried on. I had began to think I was doomed to have to try on hundreds of pairs of shoes just to find one pair that didn't crush my feet. This spray has changed all that!When I first heard of this product I was sceptical, but willing to try anything. Wasn't convinced that a spray-on foam could 'stretch' my shoes but hadn't had much luck with traditional wooden shoe stretchers and was running out of options. Amazingly, it actually works. You simply shake the can, spray the areas on the shoe that you want to stretch, then wear the shoe for a few minutes. The spray softens the leather, so the shoe then moulds to your foot as you're wearing it.You can treat the inside and the outside of the shoe unless your shoes are patent, reptile, or brushed leather, in which case you should only spray the inside. I find that in most cases I only need to treat the inside of the shoe anyway, and the shoe still has plenty of 'give'. With most of my formerly unwearable shoes I've found one application to be enough, although some really tight shoes have needed a couple of 'stretchings'.I now find that I have a lot more options when buying shoes and can even buy without trying on, because if I find they're too tight I can stretch them to fit my feet. Fantastic!Now if only someone could invent a 'bra stretch spray' so I could actually get a bra that fits, I'd be all set!

Used in conjunction with wooden shoe stretchers, this product did manage to stretch suede shoes but the interior shoe lining got very cracked making the shoes painful to wear next to bare skin. The shoes also shrank back to their original size shortly after they were put away with the shoe stretchers removed. I wouldn't buy this product again.

I've got a lovely new pair of leather shoes I bought for work that were fine for a couple of hours but come the end of the working day the right shoe was really pinching my little toe!I didn't want to bin the shoes as not only were they very expensive, I also really liked them and having read the other reviews here I thought it might be worth giving this spray a go. It was - two applications and my shoes are comfortable all day!The spray is a foam that disperses quickly. You spray the shoe where it rubs or pinches and then wear it for a few minutes. I found it pretty difficult to spray the inside front of my shoe where it pinches my toe and that's probably why it took a couple of applications. Even so, it definitely worked and is therefore in my opinion worth every penny.

This does exactly what it says on the tin, I was very impressed. I bought a pair of shoes - one of which fit well in the shop and the other pinched across my toes. When I tried them on at home, both pinched. This product is easy to use and not messy, after the first application the shoes were already feeling much better - I did a second treatment of both shoes and they were just about right. In the end I gave a final third go, trying to target the very specific spots that needed it (though because of the shape of the shoes this was a bit tricky to get the nozzle to the right area) and they are fine now. The spray doesn't feel too wet on your feet, either. I just let the shoes dry as I wore them (I don't have boot-stretchers). I would certainly recommend this as now my shoes are fine.

I was rather sceptical having worked with leather all my life. And I should have listened!The tin is small, just about a third the size of a tin of furniture spray. It's a small amount of product for a fiver plus shipping! There is no indication on the tin as to the contents which I thought was illegal. You spray it on the shoe and if foams up, slightly dampening the leather. It has no perceptible effect at all on the stiffness of the leather.I gave it a good go and tried it out three times, wearing the shoes the next day for as long as I could, I bought shoe stretcher trees at the same time and followed the instructions, spraying it inside and out and leaving the shoes on the stretchers for 24 hours each time. It made no difference at all - none.I had much greater success by putting my shoe clad feet in a bowl of warm water, soaking the shoes through and wearing them around the house for several hours. Not comfortable but it helped.I do not recommend this product. If there was a 'no star' option, it would have one.

Bought so I could stretch my doc martens. Magic stuff this!! Recommending it to everyone!! Docs fit perfect. This spray is superb. Read the instructions, spray inside wear immediately and repeat should you need to. I didn't, it worked first time on my leather doc martens.Edit 14/11/22 I have since been recommending this spray to everyone! If you spray this on the inside of your shoes or boots it works amazingly well, saves so many shoes!! I recently sold a pair of my boots on a second hand site, I thought they were a 6, but the lady said they were half a size smaller, and were too tight. I recommend this spray to her, and was so pleased when she let me know that this spray worked and the boots now fit her perfectly!!! Made me so happy I can tell you. Next time I buy or sell, I will make sure to read the label first, stupid mistake on my part, saved by this amazing spray. If your footwear doesn't fit, and it's not a whole size or two smaller, or a few widths too narrow, please try!!!
