Breaking in your kicks with a shoe stretcher

If you’ve got bunions, bone spurs, hammer toes, wide or otherwise sensitive feet, breaking in new shoes can be pretty brutal. I recommend letting this thing do it for you! You can adjust the width to widen the toe box, stretch the length if you’re prone to heel blisters, and (this is the best part) custom-add metal spot-stretching plugs to relieve pressure on bunions, tops of toes, etc. I’ve had personal success with this one on dress shoes, sandals, and sneakers, but there is a boot version out there as well!
