Essential: Shoe Tree
Earlier today, I posted an entry on shoe neglect and why your footwear has seen better days. To increase the longevity of ones footwear, the gentleman can employ the usage of cedar shoe trees. Mimicking the shape and form of the foot, the shoe tree can be an invaluable asset in the gentleman's closet. The shoe tree works to preserve the shape of the shoe during the course of repeated wearings; thereby extending the life of the shoe. Higher quality shoe trees are made of cedar wood. Cedar helps to absorb moisture and regulate odor that may result in normal wear.
After a day of wearing my shoes, I usually insert shoe trees when I put them away. All my finer footwear possess a pair of shoe trees. Some people have a couple of pair of trees and rotate accordingly. I find it easier to just have multiple and separate trees. I have seen a reduction in both creasing and cracking of my leather dress shoes. Leather actually shrinks when not in usage, so its shape is retained when in storage.
uality shoe trees can be bought for as little as $25.00 or even less if you catch a sale. In terms of shoe maintenance, the shoe tree is essential to proper shoe health and care. Help extend shoe life by purchasing shoe trees. You won't regret your decision.
