I want to stretch the calf of my boot. Does it only work where the foot is inside the boot, or does it work for the calf also?

I never tried it in the calf of a boot. I've only used it on the foot of a shoe or a boot and it works very well.

If u can find some material to push against that area, it should work. may be socks?

No not at all. My can after waiting some 3 weeks did not work. Had liquid but no propellant gas.

I have not used it on tall boots that are too tight in the calf, but I did use it on the toes of cowboy boots and also on the straps of sandals that were too snug, but I would sure give it a try on the tall boots....good luck

Although these widened the calves of my boots a little, I suggest getting an actual boot stretcher to do what you want.

I'm sorry - I did not need the stretch in the toe area - I just used it for the calf part of the boot.

My podiatrist told me that the calf strap doesn't need to be tight...that it just exists to hold the unit on your foot

I removed one from a boot and measured around the outside of the fullest part (what would be the calf measurement) - they spring out to about 16 inches but of course there's no tension at that point. I think the 14" measurement in the 'size' option actually refers to the shaft height, as the black plastic 'shin' part of the shaper measures exactly that from bottom to top; ideal for a pretty standard knee-high boot.

Not as powerful as for the feet, but it really does help the legs. My problem is because the unit is taller in order to massaage the calf I have to have my husband lift my legs in and out.

Let me answer this question one more time. Yes if you fall on your back on the floor and just put your calves in the machine, it will massage them.... But really this machine is designed to massage the bottom of the feet mainly. So if the advertising says "calves" it is theoretically correct but it does not work well...

No, it will too small in the calf area. I wear 8 and it did NOT FIT the calf. It was ok in width for the foot but very close for the foot length.

I have used on calves, it is not the most comfy item for this, for your situation I would recommend you can search it: Kneading Portable Massage Cushion - Shiatsu-Style Massage for On-The-Go by Prospera you can even use in a vehicle or HoMedics PA-MH Therapist Select® Compact Percussion Massager

We use it on our calfs. I think it would fit on my thigh but it would probably be just barely.

Chris, I don't see any issue with it fitting into a Ankle or higher boot. I think it would work fine for that. I didn't even consider that until you asked. Great idea.

It seems to me that the boot size is more relevant to the actual boot itself, as I followed the sizing guide (which I recommend) and the boot was very roomy. The liner was too small for my wide calf, but I rigged it with safety pins. Don't go up a size because the boot will be so large that it could be unmanageable.

Yes, hard to describe without trying it but, while you are using it it is also positioning your foot in a way (toes/midfoot dorsiflexed) that stretches the plantar fascia, at same time as the calves. when you hang over stair, you can get the calve well, but this device really adds strectch to the plantar fascia in a way I find a stair doesn't (when you stretch on a stair you typically are not dorsiflexing the midfoot).

I work for pedag USA in customer service. Stretching leather so that it does not tear or stretch too much is tricky. I suggest you take your boots to a good shoe repair. Shoe repairs have the specialized equipment needed to stretch boots properly. Our item is meant to keep your boots in the shape they were in when you bought them, keep them upright, wrinkle free and allow air to circulate, not to stretch them to a wider shape.

Inside in the area where you want stretched. Once you spray the product inside the shoe, you put the shoe on and wear it while it's wet. Or, I suppose you could use one of those stretching tree things.

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