Punch Stretch leather care spray, for stretching pinching shoes/trainers/boots

I bough this for a beautiful pair of leather shoes, which I could barely get my feet in (bought as a gift). Before use, I could not wear the shoes for more than a few seconds without crippling pain as they were far too slim.I applied a good amount as instructed and wore the shoes with socks around the house. They were instantly more comfortable. It took 3 treatments, wearing with socks in the house, for me to feel comfortable enough to go out in them. The shoes have stretched perfectly and are now comfortable.I have also used the spray on a pair of new DMs, which were not too small, but rubbed my heel. They are also more comfortable now.

I used this spray to shape/stretch a pair of boots (also purchased and reviewed on Amazon), and it worked very well. I now have a very comfortable pair of boots which fit like a glove, or rather, which fit like a really well-fitting pair of boots.The only thing I hadn't anticipated was how much of the spray I would need to use. This small can was really only enough for the one pair of boots, because you do need to soak quite a lot into the leather. Once the leather is properly soaked, it will stretch very well, with shoe/boot stretchers, or just by putting your "thickly-socked" feet into them and wearing the boots while the leather settles into shape.It worked so well, I've purchased another couple of cans, ready for when I need them.

I had nearly given up on a pair of shoes that rubbed on the top of my feet. I had tried another brand of leather stretcher, but it was useless. This worked like a dream, and the shoes are now comfortable. The instructions are a bit vague; but I sprayed the shoes inside and out, then put them on for a while. They were better, but still a bit tight, so I repeated the process until the leather softened, and it really worked. I used the whole can, so if you have more than one pair of shoes to treat, you might want to get a couple of cans.

This is the first time I have used or even seen this product but I'm a little disappointed that it did not work well with the shoe stretcher.Not much instruction, more guess work then any thing else. I think I might try it again with out the shoe stretcher next time.

I bought a pair of Berghaus walking boots some time ago which were a narrower fit than I expected but thought they would adjust with use. Unfortunately this wasn't the case and so I just used them less and for shorter periods as they weren't very comfortable after, what I consider, quite short periods. Thought about trying some boot stretchers and while looking for these I came across this item by accident in a way as I wasn't aware of this option before. After reading many reviews I decided there was nothing to lose by trying it out as it was a much cheaper option than stretchers. As I had read in reviews I tried it out by liberally spraying the inside of my boots and wearing 2 pairs of thickish socks for a few hours, I did this twice just for good measure. To my surprise it does seem to have done the trick and the boots are now much more comfortable. Longer walks and long term efficiency remains to be seen of course but, for now, I am quite pleased with the results.

Where has this product been hiding. New Dr martens sandals worn all day without a problem. I tried them on and knew i was going to struggle with them, I sprayed the straps with the spray and slid my feet in not feeling particularly optimistic. I was wrong, the pinching has gone and they felt so comfortable. Brilliant

One thing I should say for others out there: you need to wear the shoes after spraying this on them, the process through which the leather loosens and takes the shape of your foot will be mechanical as well. It might seem trivial, but it does not stretch/soften the leather if you just spray it and let the shoe rest (at least not efficiently). I recommend first putting the shoe on, identifying where it pinches, spray there and then walk. You might need to do this some two-three times depending on how hard the shoe is. However, start small, especially with a softer shoe, as the process is irreversible and you could easily end up deforming your shoes. By no means spray this on the entire shoe! Also, it's less efficient on thick boots or at the heel of the shoe where the leather is enforced to stay in shape. Works on faux leather as well (although I'd test it first on a small area), but not on canvas/trainers plastics. It generally doesn't stain, but again, I'd first test it, especially on suede (I personally had no problem, although it will look wet for the first couple of hours - that goes away).

I don't normally write reviews but I was so impressed with this product I had to! I recently purchased some leather flip flops which I loved, however when they arrived they were so tight across the top of my foot they were unbearable to wear. I so desperately wanted to keep them as I loved them so much I went online for a cure to this painful problem. My search led me to this product which I have to say I purchased with skepticism. It arrived and I sprayed the leather twice and now my flip flops fit like a dream!!!! Could not be happier.

Belle découverte. Assouplit comme il faut.
