FAQs
How many shoe trees come in a pack?
This product listing is for one (1) shoe tree. You will need to purchase two for a pair of shoes.
What is the primary benefit of using cedar wood shoe trees?
Cedar wood naturally absorbs moisture and neutralizes odors, helping to keep your shoes dry, fresh, and free from unpleasant smells, while also preventing mildew.
Can these shoe trees be used for athletic shoes?
Yes, they can help maintain the shape of athletic shoes, particularly in the toe box area, preventing flattening. However, ensure the fit is not too tight, which could affect the shoe's intended structure.
How do I know what size shoe tree to buy?
The shoe trees are designed to fit a range of men's and women's sizes. Ensure the length and width feel snug but not overly stretched within your shoe for optimal results.
How often should I use shoe trees?
It is recommended to use shoe trees every time you take off your shoes to help them retain their shape and manage moisture effectively.
Can I clean the shoe trees?
Cedar shoe trees are not typically washed. If the wood's properties diminish, you can lightly sand the surface to refresh its absorbency and scent. Store them in a dry place.
What is the warranty on these shoe trees?
The product comes with a 2-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Shoe tree doesn't fit snugly.
Ensure you have selected the correct size for your shoe. The spring-loaded design relies on a snug fit to maintain shape. If the shoe is too large or too small, it may not work effectively.
Cedar scent is too strong.
Allow the shoe trees to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days before inserting them into your shoes. The scent will dissipate over time.
Shoe tree seems difficult to insert.
Ensure the shoe is completely empty and that the shoe tree is aligned correctly. Gently compress the spring mechanism slightly to aid insertion, then allow it to expand fully inside the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively maintains shoe shape and prevents creases.
- Absorbs moisture and neutralizes odors from footwear.
- Made from natural, beneficial cedar wood.
- Easy to use with a practical brass handle.
- Suitable for a wide range of men's and women's shoes.
Cons
- Each pack contains only one shoe tree, meaning multiple purchases are needed for a pair of shoes.
- May not fit very narrow or very wide shoe styles perfectly due to spring-loaded design.
- Requires proper sizing for effective performance; too small a tree won't stretch the shoe.
- Cedar wood can impart a subtle scent, which might not be preferred by all users.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the shoe tree is the appropriate size for your footwear.
- Gently insert the shoe tree into the shoe using the brass handle. The spring-loaded mechanism will expand to fit snugly.
Compatibility:
- These shoe trees are designed for a wide range of men's and women's footwear, including dress shoes, boots, loafers, and casual shoes.
- While versatile, they are best suited for shoes with a traditional shape. Extremely narrow or unusually shaped shoes may not accommodate them optimally.
Care:
- To maintain their effectiveness, store the shoe trees in a dry place when not in use.
- Occasionally, you can lightly sand the cedar wood surface with fine-grit sandpaper to refresh its odor-absorbing and moisture-wicking properties.
- Avoid exposing the shoe trees to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, as this can degrade the wood.
