Description

This Boot Stretcher was made by DEXDAHL, Inc. from Cohasset, Massachusetts. It was a fairly common model made by several manufacturers. Since leather boots came under considerable tension in all metallic bindings keeping the sole flat was a challenge that these boot stretchers were trying to address. They were partially successful.
