Stretching

We have different machines that we use for the stretching process. We have one skilled artisan who specifically devotes all their time to our in house stretching process. After the stretching process is complete, the leather is polished and/or conditioned.

Depending on the material and construction of the shoe we can stretch it up to a half size larger.

TIP: Please keep in mind that when you widen a shoe you also get a little more room in the length. So if the width is an issue and the length slightly we recommended only stretching the width. If you are not sure with what needs to be done you can include a picture of your shoes showing where it hurts and we can tell you what needs to be done.

Note: Shoes do stretch out naturally so we recommended that you try to break them in first. If they still don’t feel comfortable, send them in to us to stretch.
