The stretcher broke inside one of my shoes, and now I cannot get it out. Now what?

sounds like the wedge the separates the wood stayed in place but the rod came out. if you carefully bang the heel end of shoe the wedge might slip down allowing wood to come together. Need to get that wedge back somehow... .. let us know how it works out.

If you have a shoe repair store in your area, then I would start by taking the shoe to the store. They may have the proper tools to help you.

I've had the same issues, so I took my to my neighborhood shoe maker. Old timer, who fixed it with ease. better than it was before. Did try local sporting good stores to no avail. Hope this help you.

The key needs to be broken in like a new shoe. Wiggle it a bit, and pull it out. do this a few times and it should be okay after that.

You should be able to pull it back out. Maybe fish it out with a pair of tweezers?

Cut it off from the bottom and replace the rubber tip. Easy to do with a saw that will cut through lucite. I've had three of the lucite canes and each is adjusted for the height of the shoes I am wearing when I use it!

Take out another insole from a shoe that you like. You can cut just the toe part where they meet or if the rest of the new insole is hangs out cut that too. Usually the top works for me and maybe a little around the edges. Hope that helps.

The hard metal piece, the splint, is removable. It's just a bit tricky. Using pliers to grab the metal piece would help.

I just sprayed and put on the boots. They stretched while I was walking. But I guess you can use the proper shoe stretcher.

Insert a butter knife and it will loosen and pop out, it will become easier! Mine was stiff at first, but now works perfectly with my fingernail .

If you have a toe-touch stopper that's stuck open, just unscrew it and buy a new one, they're like $3. I'm sure your landlord won't notice :)

If your purpose is to widen your shoes, this stretcher will do the job. My tight shoes problem was solved.

Put them to the heal of the shoe.The more you break them in the more they stay in place.

Hi Marie, I guess you can spray in the shoe first and place a shoe stretcher... however to give your shoe the "right" amount of stretch needed, it was recommended to spray and then wear on feet. I copied the directions for you from the can: Shake can well before using. Spray lightly inside the shoe where stretching is desired. Put on shoes and walk until they are dry. The shoes will stretch and soften while you walk. Do not wipe shoes while wet. If further stretching is desired, repeat the application. This is exactly how I used this spray... Hope this helped :)

Remove one of the feet and take it to the hardware store. Ask a sales person for help if you need to. They may have a suitable replacement.

I've only used this product to stretch out the width of the shoe. It will work if it is a leather shoe. You spray the inside get a thick pair of socks, put it on for a few minutes and it fits! It will stretch it out more than you can believe! It's a great product.

Find something to push it in. It should pop right out. It a spring in it. I just used my finger nail.

Just turn it upside down & shake, or pry it from the edge using needle or unfolded paper clip. I believe mine was easily came out.
