Pair of Vintage 1950s VicTree 8X9 Aluminum Shoe Stretchers - Made in England

This is a rare pair of 1950s VicTree Aluminum Shoe Stretchers, stamped with size 8X9 and proudly Made in England. These vintage shoe stretchers were originally used to maintain the shape of shoes, particularly leather footwear, or to gently stretch them to ensure a more comfortable fit. They were designed to insert into the shoes, and with the screw mechanism, adjust the tension to customize the stretching process.

Crafted from durable aluminum, these shoe stretchers are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. They feature a unique mid-century industrial look, making them not only useful but also a striking conversation piece for any vintage or eclectic décor. With their sleek and timeless design, they would look great on display in a wardrobe, entryway, or vintage-inspired shop.

The VicTree brand was well-known for manufacturing quality shoe accessories during the mid-20th century. This set reflects the craftsmanship of the era, retaining some signs of wear, primarily fine scratches on the metal, adding to their character and appeal.

Despite their age, they remain fully functional and could still be used for stretching shoes today. Each shoe stretcher measures approximately 10 cm x 31 cm, making them suitable for larger footwear. A fantastic collectible or practical item for anyone with a love of vintage fashion tools.
