Shoe stretching is a service that is often used to make shoes more comfortable to wear. This service is particularly useful for people who have purchased a pair of shoes that are slightly too tight or narrow for their feet, or for individuals with foot conditions such as bunions or hammertoes.
During a shoe stretching service, Our professional shoemaker at The Cobbler Village will use specialized equipment and techniques to stretch the shoe in certain areas, such as the toe box or the instep. The shoemaker may also use a stretching spray or oil to soften the leather and make it more pliable.
Overall, shoe stretching is a convenient and affordable way to make your shoes more comfortable to wear, and can help extend the life of your footwear by reducing the likelihood of damage caused by wearing shoes that are too tight.
Our cobblers can provide stretching if your shoes feel too snug. Leather shoes can be stretched up to ½ size and are stretched in the width, which helps with length as it allows the toe portion of the foot to spread out, relieving pressure. We can also stretch fabric and other dress shoe materials, just not always as easily as leather.
NOTE:
It is important to note that not all shoes can be stretched, and the amount of stretching that can be done will depend on the material and construction of the shoe. For example, shoes made from synthetic materials may not be able to be stretched as much as those made from leather.
