About this deal

Shoes eventually evolved into more complex designs, and by the Middle Ages, they had become an important part of a man’s wardrobe. The first shoes were made from leather and were quite simple in design. Over time, shoemakers began to experiment with different materials and designs. By the 19th century, shoes were made from a variety of materials, including cloth, wood, and metal. Shoe trees are available in almost any material, from plastic to wood. But the best shoe trees are made of wood, particularly cedar. Cedar does an outstanding job of not only keeping your shoes’ shape but also drawing moisture out of them. As a bonus, it also happens to smell fantastic. Shoe Type Shoe trees also help to protect your shoes from damage when they’re not being worn. If you’re someone who likes to keep your shoes on display in our storage boxes, the tree will help to keep the shape of the shoe and prevent it from bending or warping over time.

Similar to a shoe stretcher—but without the same range—shoe trees can also help break in tough leather footwear. The length of the shoe gets pushed out from the forefoot and heel, causing the shoe to appear oval in shape as light pressure stretches the shoe from the inside. This helps with loosening up tough leather heels and widening narrow toe boxes. Among the storied Italian brand’s niche offerings are its equally storied shoe trees composed of beech wood, metal, and decades of meticulous craftsmanship. They’re designed with Cucinelli footwear in mind—a worthy parallel investment if there ever was one. But this being the luxury stop on our tour through the best shoe trees known to man, this is a pricey but totally worth it proposition. But you also knew that. The cheapest are a wooden shoe tree without a full heel. Although they help with odour, and will help preserve the original shape at the front of the shoe, the narrow knob on the heel puts excess pressure on one section of the heel and prolonged use may deform the shoe. [1] Notwithstanding, this style of shoe tree is popular with high heels because of its flexibility.

Boot trees are shoe trees for boots. Boot trees are often used on ankle-high boots and are similar to standard shoe trees but have a higher ankle area. Their main function is to support the heel counter, which helps preserve the integrity of the higher heel and prevents it from creasing or folding over. The fore part of the boot tree acts as a standard shoe tree and works to gently stretch out the vamp and prevent creasing. [4] Shoe trees are foot-shaped devices that are inserted into shoes to reduce moisture and help hold their shape when they're not being worn. Shoe trees are most commonly made of wood or plastic. 3. Do shoe trees ruin shoes? A shoe tree is a foot-shaped gadget that fits inside of a shoe and helps preserve its shape when not in use, thus extending its life. Whether plastic or wood, a pair of shoe trees will help prevent shoes from creasing over time. They’ll also aid in smoothing out existing creases that have formed on the upper and toe box through use.

Once you have used your shoes for a long time, it is good to put shoe trees in them. We recommend keeping them there for at least 24 hours. Ideally, it would be great to have shoe trees for all shoes. 2. What is the purpose of shoe trees? Higher quality shoe trees are made from softwood, usually cedar, which helps control odor and absorb moisture. Personalisation: These shoe trees are not merely functional but also fashionable, offering personalisation to compliment your individual style.Generic shoe trees are non-lasted shoe trees that are designed to fit a wide range of footwear styles. Generic shoe trees come in many styles; two of the more popular ones are the twin-tube and single-tube shoe trees. The twin-tube shoe tree, cut from a generic last and featuring a fully articulated (round heel), a spring toe, and ventilation holes. This style is most popular in England and Europe. The single-tube, split-toe shoe tree with an overhand handle, works on a spring-spreader mechanism, causing the split toe to expand into the shoe when inserted into the shoe. This style is most popular in the United States. In some instances, the shoe trees can actually cause the shoe more damage. Due to the unusual shape of this particular shoe tree, the waist area of the shoe is extended and protrudes outward. Over a long period of time, the leather will stretch to form an awkward bump which may be difficult to fix. 4. How long should you leave shoe trees in? Cedar wood is light, strong and resistant to insects and moths and helps the shoes dry out. Our shoe-trees are all individually inspected for quality prior to dispatch. Why Us? Measure the length of each mark and match it with the size chart. Let the longest foot decide the shoe size.
