This shoe stretcher is used to stretch tight leather shoes and maintain their shape. I used it to make my stiff leather loafers more comfortable to wear. It has a hook, so you can hang it up for storage, saving space. [Recommended Leather Shoe Brands] Jalan Sriwijaya, G.H. Bass, Alden, Paraboot, Crockett & Jones, J.M.
