HOUNDSBAY Bulldog Shoe Stretcher help get the perfect fit!HOUNDSBAY
Product Description


The "Bulldog" Premium Shoe Stretcher. Don't Mess Around.
Here at HOUNDSBAY, we strive to make products that last a lifetime.
Most shoe stretchers do NOT last, because they are made with plastic. Our Bulldog Shoe Stretcher is made with Solid Beechwood, and all the handles, gears, and cranks are made with Heavy Steel. The only plastic you'll find are on the little bunion plugs you can use to "spot strectch" your shoes.
So why don't you choose a Shoe Stretcher that will last for a lifetime, instead of a cheap plastic one that will break after a few uses.
Give your feet a break, but choose a shoe stretcher that will not. Get a Bulldog.
Fair winds my friend,
HOUNDSBAY

- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2024Color: Premium M for Women (Size 6.5-10)Verified PurchaseHow did I not know about this amazing gadget?! It’s a game changer for sure. I used it overnight and already can feel a difference in my shoes. It’s a smart design that allows you to adjust the width and length as needed and includes accessories to target particularly problematic areas. I will say the sizing is off. I purchased a women’s medium which stated it fits sizes 6 1/2 to 10. I’m a solid size 8 and it barely fit in my shoes and actually caused the heel area to become loose which was NOT the objective. Other than that, it’s a great product, good quality, easy to use. It is a bit expensive and there should be a more economical option for buying a pair. I bit the bullet and bought two because I just can’t be bothered with stretching one shoes at a time. Overall I’m pleased and excited that I’ll be able to wear these sneakers comfortably! For me the total stretch so far has been less than a half size but I’m confident that the longer I use it the more they’ll stretch. I didn’t even bother with the spray I bought because they’re clearly stretching fine without it.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2025Color: Premium M for Men (Size 10-11.5)Verified PurchaseI have six pair of high-quality loafers that I stopped wearing because of a small bunion on my right foot. I have previously purchased various shoe stretchers, both plastic and wood, and had almost given up as none seemed to work. I purchased Foot Fitter about three days ago and have already stretched and enjoyed wearing my comfortable loafers. The Foot Fitter is perfect, sturdy and easy to use. There are so many options to stretch any part of your shoe. One of my best purchases.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023Color: Premium M for Men (Size 10-11.5)Verified PurchaseI rarely write reviews, but am making an exception because this Shoe Stretcher from HOUNDSBAY, did what never happens… it exceeded my expectations. I can’t even recall when I received something
which turned out to be better than anticipated. The HOUNDSBAY shoe stretcher isn’t cheap at $72, but it IS a heavy-duty piece of gear. Solid and heavy. Not at all like the typical plastic and wood stretchers, such as one I’ve owned many years. Also, it has the ability to stretch the LENGTH of a shoe. Obviously, no shoe stretcher is going to be able to solve every issue, nor will it make a size 9 into a 10.5, but this stretcher will do the job better than any other one I’ve seen or used. Even the removable pieces to enable targeted stretching (for bunions etc.) are solid metal, not plastic.
As I’ve aged, my feet have flattened, and I have a bunion issue, so want to enlarge, where possible, shoes which are still good, but too snug. That’s what this stretcher is made to do. In using it, you have to work a little to get it in place, due to the wood piece which stretches length. Placing it in a pair of loafers, required pushing down on the side of the shoe. In the instructions, they note this, and suggest getting a smaller size stretcher if you are close or between sizes. I went with Medium, and would not have been able to fit a larger one into my loafers.
Sure, I would have preferred it cost $50 or so to $72, but frankly, I would rather pay a bit more and get something of truly high quality like this one, than spend $20 less for one of lesser quality. The HOUNDSBAY stretcher is a one time purchase, and short of losing it, will last you decades. Here’s hoping I last as long…. IF you are vacillating over spending this much for a stretcher, if it lets you wear a couple pairs of good quality shoes more comfortably, you’ve near paid for it already. Since you can return it IF it isn’t to your liking, what do you have to lose.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024Color: Premium L for Men (Size 12-14)Verified PurchaseThis is a top of the line (last you a lifetime, if not multiple lifetimes). But the price is high, and VERY high considering they only send you ONE of them. Yes, you have to buy two of these if you want to stretch both shoes at the same time. I only knocked off one star because it was in the description (and reviews) that you only got one stretcher. But still knocked off one star because of the high price.
Otherwise a 5 star shoe stretcher. You are going to pay for it though. But on the otherhand, you only have to buy these once....they do everything and your shoe is likely to break before these do. Very high quality, very high price.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2025Works great
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024It didn't solve all my tight shoe issues, I think there's only so much a stretcher can do, but it does make some change. It can help to apply alcohol-water mix to the inside of the shoe before stretching.
I'm more of a EE or E and I bought D width shoes on sale and have been trying to stretch them ever since... my suggestion is to just buy the wider width shoe, or buy a shoe that has a wider last/shape. I wear AE Oxford's and their lasts become narrow in the front, so it compresses the toes inward, which leads to bunions. I ended up visiting a shoe-repairman who professionally stretched my shoes for $15 a pair and even he could only get so much stretch out of them. You don't want bunions, and you don't want tight fitting shoes, so buy wider shoes, and avoid the stretcher problem altogether.
Now, this stretcher is solid quality, the wood is good, and the metal inserts are good, the cranking, etc. The only problem would be the price, and that the holes are basically limited to those which are on it.
It would be nice to have at least 2 stretchers, but that would be too much money.
Overall, a pretty good product.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2025Color: Premium M for Men (Size 10-11.5)Verified PurchaseI was thoroughly impressed with the product. The packaging it arrived in was of exceptional quality. I highly recommend both the product and the company.
