Will these shoe trees stretch my shoes?
These shoe trees are designed to *maintain* the shoe's shape and prevent creasing, not to actively stretch or enlarge the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoe tree is too loose in the shoe
Ensure the spiral spring spine is fully extended. For slightly larger shoes within the size range, you may need to manually adjust the placement for a tighter fit.
Shoe tree is difficult to insert
Gently twist the shoe tree while inserting. If the shoe is significantly smaller than the minimum size range, these shoe trees may not be suitable.
Wood has a strange odor
This is uncommon as lotus wood typically has a pleasant scent. If an off-odor is detected, air the shoe trees out in a well-ventilated area for several days. Ensure shoes are clean before inserting trees.
Shoe tree does not fit a very narrow shoe
While the spring spine offers some adjustability, exceptionally narrow footwear may not achieve optimal tension. Consider shoes specifically within the EU 43-46 range for best results.
