Thanks, Bruce! Always appreciate your feedback! True that, it definitely does!

My Goodfellow man, thanks for the attempt, but there is a fail on behalf of explaining the purpose for the different types of shoe trees that go in different types of footwear. For example, the shoe tree that has the extended spring on the rear are probably designed for loafers as they don’t put stress on the sides of the loafer shoe, where as the double strut shoe tree is likely designed for a gunboat blutcher, a single strut shoe tree that is either hinged or strutted, but raised with an arch at the foot area or more for ox squirts

I agree with your favourite and if buying a few at once then the price can be very reasonable around 20 USD each plus shipping. No point bothering with the other ones (apart from maybe the plastic travel ones) regardless of the value of the shoes they are just bad design. A nice set of matching cedar shoe trees should last an adult lifetime. Also worth getting a few taller boot trees with the same large/small part divided toe, rounded heel and matching metal knob.

What's your second favorite shoe tree? Have you found any since this video that you like better?

I wonder what you think of the Fresh Flow shoe tree. I am sure you won't like the lack of heal support, but since your channel is call minimalist, it is more on brand.

Great video! Have you noticed any damage resulting from the second set of shoe trees? I have a set of very similar shoe trees which I've been using on an old pair of CPs, and I've noticed over time that the heel tab of the shoe has severely weakened in the middle and is actually beginning to tear. Whether this is the result of the shoe trees being too narrow, or if it's just from years of wear and tear (literally), I don't know.

@theaestheticminimalist

3 жыл бұрын

I haven't seen any damage caused by the second pair. Do you think you got the right size of the shoe trees? I think it might be a combination of reasons why you start to see damage to your CPs now - The heel part is too narrow with too much force can definitely cause towards your shoes.

@brendan5235

@@theaestheticminimalist I purchased the shoe trees from a local shop and to my understanding, they were a one-size-fits-all. The pressure applied to the heel of the shoe is pretty strong - I kind of have to force it forward in order to remove it. I wasn't sure if this was to be expected because they're the only set of shoe trees I own. I'm pretty convinced years of wear has worn down the heel tab, and the shoe trees have only sped up the process. Needless to say I have definitely stopped using these shoe trees on my CPs and have now devoted them to my less expensive pairs.

Hey, I was wondering if a shoe tree is better to be too big or too small. I'm concerned one of my shoe trees might be too big for my common projects because of the narrow toe. Thanks!

@theaestheticminimalist

If you ask me which one can actually cause damage, I'd say too big. You want just the right amount of tension. Worst case for a pair of small show trees is they won't provide enough support but can still remove odor and keep your shoes dry.

if the leather in good quality it will crease in a way that doesn't actually look that bad

Would be better if you get boot tree as they provide support to the ankle and keep the boot in shape.

@theaestheticminimalist

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, their size chart isn't that useful. My guess is extra large, but I'm not 100% sure. I got mine together with the shoe I had them made. So I didn't need to pick it our myself. What really matters is that style and you can find the same style on Amazon as well. Such as these ones amzn.to/3dyvY5K

I use cedar shoe trees with split toes in all my shoes and boots. Cedar shoe tree is better than its alternatives because it is strong enough to prevent your shoe leather from cracking. It is a good investment because the material is highly durable than its plastic counterpart. Cedar shoe trees are also readily available because they are the most preferred option.

Technically you don't need shoetrees for a brand new pair of shoes. Some brand put paper inserts to keep the shoes in shape during shipping. However, if you live somewhere humid, putting wood trees in even new shoes that you don't wear is not a bad idea.

Hi I have a double monk strap size 39 is it ok for me to buy a size 38 Divided toe Cedar Shoe tree because it's like 3 times cheaper than the size 39-40 version. Or it's really recommend to buy the 39-40?

Go for it. Since it's 3 times cheaper. Usually the recommended size will fill stretch the shoes more, so 38 should theoretically still fill up your shoes but less stretch.

3:00 Those are travel shoe trees, you didn't mention that. Light weight and cedar toes. The reason they damaged your shoes is because the ones you have are too large.
