I put the footfitter two-way shoe stretcher to immediate use. Admittedly, after reading some of the previous reviews, I experienced a little trepidation over my purchase. I was pleasantly surprised to see how good of a product this actually was. I stretched three pairs of shoes over the next two weeks. Everything was easy to operate and adjustment was very easy. This is an excellent product which is why I give it 5 stars. Since it is recommended that shoes stay on the stretcher for two days, I am considering purchasing another stretcher to speed up the process. As usual, shipping was quick and efficient. My feet thank you!!!
