A shoe tree is a device in the approximate shape of a foot that is placed inside of a shoe when not being worn. Shoe trees undertake 3 primary tasks:
There are so many ways in which a shoe tree can be different. Different shape. Different mechanism. Different material. Different grading etc. Below are some of the more popular styles you will find today.
This shoe tree's mould is taken from a generic last. It features a double bar spring system and an adjustable toe spring to accommodate different shoe widths. It is the shoe tree of choice in many parts of Europe and commonly known as the 'European Style'.
Boot trees are for ankle-high boots Their main function is to support the boots higher heel and vamp. Different models are available, ours is semi-lasted from popular boot styles in Australia.
This shoe tree operate on a spring and spreader system. As the shoe tree is inserted into the shoe, the split toe is spread apart and keeps the shoe's leather taut. The heel's overhang grip is a very user-friendly design. Popular in North America.
"They're all the same.." is a misguided statement I hear from time to time. If you buy Chelsea boots for $100, you don't expect R.M. Williams, right? They may look similar but the actually differences are huge. Having access to the best shoe tree makers, who use the best materials and cuts, don't cut corners, and deliver a product that will genuinely last for years is key to finding a quality shoe tree. We offer a lifetime guarantee on our shoe trees, because we know they're not "all the same".
