WHY DO I NEED SHOE TREES?
Our shoes can last for decades, especially if they are cared for properly. The shoe tree is more than a simple accessory – it is a must. Using shoe trees means you will be able to keep your shoes for a lifetime: they will develop a beautiful patina with time, but without ageing.
Our feet sweat throughout the day and the leather and lining of our shoes absorb all that moisture. This can cause the lining to deteriorate, your shoes to get an unpleasant smell, and the leather to crack over time, thereby ruining your expensive pair of shoes.
A shoe tree holds a shoe in its proper shape so it dries out correctly and keeps the leather from cracking by wicking away moisture. The absorbent wood also helps dry out the lining of shoes so that they don’t rot from the inside out.
Shoe trees made of cedarwood; they have absorbent qualities that help keep your footwear dry against moisture and with an aromatic scent of cedar.
Thanks to an adjustable front part and an expandable central part, the shoe maintains its original shape, stretching the hides and guaranteeing long-lasting maintenance of the footwear.
If you wear a half size shoe - go up to the next whole size when ordering your shoe tree …eg you wear a 9.5 (order a size 10 shoe tree)
