How far do these stretch out? Any more than 14 inches?

The circumference of the boot shaper when fully extended is 16" around at the widest part, which would be inside the calf area of the boot. When you squeeze the handle it brings the two plastic shafts closer together allowing you to slide it down into the boot, then when you release the handle a spring opens the space between the two shafts, allowing it to form to the size of your boot. If your boot is greater than 16" in circumferance in any part, then it wouldn't work as intended. The 14" is the length of the shaft, which is not adjustable

They are 7" wide at the widest point and are 2" wide. That's without being placed in the boot so they have very little spring force at that size. I have found that they work very well in soft shank boots such as suede but they will not stretch any leather shank boot. However, they do a great job of keeping the shape of the boots while you are not wearing them. I have also modified some of mine by cutting off the bottom to allow me to also use them in conjunction with cedar boot forms for the lower portion of the boots. This keeps exotic skin boots perfectly shape while in storage. Hope this helps They are 7" wide at the widest point and are 2" wide.

My daughter's boot is extra-wide @ 17-18 around her calf. The shaft-shapers fit her boot perfectly. Hope that helps. :)

I'm not sure this will answer your question, but....when the shapers are NOT in a boot, they are about 8" in diameter (across). I wear a women's US size 10 (40 European) and when I put the shaper in my boot, they are slightly compressed, so are less than that. Does that help?

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.

I am not sure. I have not measured. But I can say that they do the job really well.

The two sets that I have hold the calf section of my boots at 15 inches which is what I need for my calves. I cannot accurately say how far the would hold the boot but there is tension left in the shaper.

They measure approx. 36" long relaxed. I can stretch mine approx. 38-39" if I really pull hard.

They can stretch over a circumference of at least 24 inches.... Haven't tried to force one past that!

When they first arrive, they are about 2 inches in length/opening. They do stretch, but no more than the average black hair elastic, so I don't know what the hype is really about, other than the 'no crease' effect.

I'd say 9" not 14", I have since sold these to my Dad so I can't measure them now, but I know they weren't 14" for sure!

Hard to say. Never tried stretching to see. I would guess a foot or so. They don't stretch much at all without applying force.

I measured and it's a full 12 inches. Caution, though. These really wrinkle a whole lot. If you don't mind that, they should work well for you.

Don't know for sure. He has already been delivered to my granddaughter in Italy! But if I remember correctly I think he would be 14" stretched out. He is very soft and already well-loved.

they extend beyond the sheathing about 1/4". They are similar to the ones you can buy on amazon for a few dollars a pair.

They are 14 inches long but they stretch to fit from the wrist to the mid upper arm, where the t-shirt sleeve ends.

Yes, they stretch very well. You will occasionalyy come across one that is broke or has a thin spot.

They're pretty long! About 12 - 14 feet. Unsure of exact measurement but it's more than what you need

The fabric only on mine currently measures 53". I'm sure its stretched, its certainly seen hard play here. Its lasted better than any other.

Id guess about 4 feet but the end closest to your hand has an elastic type of suspensory that has a bit of stretch and give

Hi there, I've never measured them so I'm not sure how long they are but I have big upper arms and they fit well around them with no problem. I still have more than enough room if/when I need to make them tighter. I hope this helps.

They stretch a great deal. I would suggest getting one pair and try them first. Hope it works out for you. They are nice.

Aloha Andrea, My mattress with feather mattress topper equals 12 inches. Not sure if 14 will be too tight. There is a little extra material, but not much. These sheets are super soft, not itchy, but very thin. So don't know if they were stretched too much if they would rip. Hope this helps:-) Maybe this company as others that fit 15 inches to be safe
