This is a partial shoe stretcher used to stretch leather shoes in specific areas. You insert it into the shoe and stretch it smoothly from the inside, allowing you to pinpoint and widen areas that press against your foot. I purchased it to address bunions and used it to stretch the bunion area of my leather shoes. There are minor scratches from storage, but it doesn't affect its use. It's a tool used by shoe repair shops, and the construction is very solid. The material is likely machined aluminum, and it's lighter than it looks, making it easy to handle even for women. There is slight rust on the spring part. *Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items, as this is a personal item stored at home. *If you purchase this item with other items I'm selling, I will offer a discount, so please let me know. #Stretcher
