[BlindTlk] Skechers..

[Aaron Spears]

Hi.


  Maybe. I know there's often the loop on the outside of the heel to 
pull on, and they make a gadget to hook in that and pull. But this goes 
inside for your heel to slide against to make it easier to stretch the 
shoe around it without just collapsing it.
