1 more pro TIP Jeff, if that cedar tree loses its smell, you can sand it down with sandpaper (gently) to bring back that cedar for it to smell new again. 👍🏻
I actually meant to mention that in the video. Thanks Carlos!
The Style O.G. I have one TOO many shoes that I need to start selling. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I have had some good luck finding cedar shoe trees at a second-hand store for between $0.50 to $2 a pair. It's allowed me to have shoe trees in all of my shoes all of the time (unless I'm wearing them, of course!). You just hit the outside edges with a bit of sandpaper and that fresh cedar smell is right back; this is something people should be doing with their cedar trees annually anyways.
Thanks OG, good topic👍🏾
Just bought a pair of Thursday Boots brand shoes and wanted to buy a pair of shoe trees. Perfect timing for the video!
must have Mess!
Sharp suit OG🔥
Thanks Sammy!
Style O.G., what a great video. Thanks for adding the tip that it's only really necessary to own 1 or 2 shoe trees and you only need to leave it in the shoe about 24 hrs. No other video I've watched on shoe trees answered those questions.
Style O.G., the real MVP.
you got it my G!
Looking sharp, Jeff. Great video. Obviously, if you are going to invest hundreds of dollars in quality shoes, shoe trees are a must. I use them in Chucka and dress boots, as well as dress shoes. For those on a limited budget, you can buy one pair of cedar shoe trees and use them on the shoes/boots immediately after you take them off. In 24 hours, you can replace them with plastic shoe trees, since the cedar has already done its job. If I'm not wearing the shoes/boots, I always have a shoe tree in them. I also use shoe trees when I condition and polish the shoes. Stretching them out allows the conditioner to permeate into the minor surface cracks and the wax to seal those cracks. I think shoe trees are a must if you want your shoes to look their best and last.
great input Lou!
Awesome advice on the conditioning will try that Lou👍🏾, Be Safe;-).
Another great video. As of now, my shoe collection consists of mainly high end shoes, particularly Allen Edmonds and the like. I personally do more than the average person, as I spend hours cleaning, conditioning, and polishing. However, the main component is definitely the shoe tree. I have shoes that are over 20 years old that have had their lives extended with the use of shoe trees. Right on, Jeff.!
appreciate the input Mark!
How long you keep in your shoe trees?
I use shoe trees on all my shoes including my Nike/Jordans. Also, I put silica gel caps to be sure no moisture is around my shoes... Awesome vid!
Thanks Ricky!
This deserves so many more views. Very well done! Thank you, Sir
Thanks Brian!
Man i like that tie salute back man
Thanks Israel!
@@TheStyleOG ay can you make a video on how to start your suit collection or where to find a good taylor
I like that suit!
Thanks for explaining how and when to use shoe trees as well as covering how many are needed. I always thought I needed a set for every pair of shoes, which is cause prohibitive. Greatly enjoyed this video ..... I’ve watched it twice! 👍🏼
glad to hear it helped Shaun!
I subscribed because even though you seem high class you also seem down to earth. We need more people like that.
Thanks for the kind words Maykoll!
OG I'm late on this one but I need to say good looking out on this one! I was looking for shoe trees and yours here in this video were the best deal I could find.
Thanks sir. I bought one and never used one. Now I will be using it all the time.
make sure you do Terell!
Jeff thanks for this video I was surprised how many men are not familiar with shoe trees I actually had one gentleman tell me he always those were the items worn by the dutch no joke shoes go a long way to extend the life of our shoes their investment is invaluable appreciate you sharing this information
i am surprised as well Frank!
As always another video with great content. Salute
Salute Shawn!
I picked up 4 boot trees. I have about 10 pairs of good leather boots. Leaving Boot Trees for long periods of time will not harm the shoe is any way, unless they are in their super tight, which should never be the case anyways.
Thanks for sharing.
Instantly subscribed. Thanks OG!
Welcome to the channel Osirius!
No joke, one of your most important videos you have posted mate.
😎✌️
Appreciate it !
The main tool for keep your shoes crisp ! Great video OG !
Thanks Orlando!
Salute O.G! Sounds like investing in cedar wood shoe trees is worth it 🤘🏼
Salute Riz!
Another great video. If you’re looking for a topic for other videos I would like to see you do one on rain gear. Thanks for putting together these videos, it must take up quite a bit of time and I’m sure you’re a busy guy!
I like the rain gear idea Jeff!
I have one pair of shoe trees for every pair of shoes. I always keep them when not using the shoes. Maybe is too much but I think the shape of the shoes will long last this way. I ended up using a regular shoe tree for my Dean Chelsea Boots from Paul Evans instead of a boot trees which are more expensive and almost impossible to find in Mexico. Salute !
appreciate the input Manolo!
I'm the same way - every time I buy a pair of shoes, I include a pair of trees for them (my holy grail is a pair of bespoke shoes with trees made from the last). There are several that are 20 years old and still look close to brand new, and that's a testament to keeping them in trees and rotating them (for the most part...I use a pair of Gravati's as daily wear when I shouldn't. But put it on a tree and give it some Renovatur, and it looks great minus some scratches). BTW: With a bunch of shoes, the trees also keep spiders out of the deep recesses, as they can even get into boxes.
Also, it is much easier to polish with the cedar shoe tree inside. Can you do video on shoe polish? I kinda became addicted to make my shoes mirror shine.
i agree that the shoe tree makes it easier to shine your shoes..
The brown tie w/ the navy suit is super dope. SALUTE MR OG!
Thanks Shack !
Great info video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
always appreciate you Michael!
You welcome keep up the good work one of the best reviewers
Great video, there was so much I didn't know. The shoe tree will definitely keep the shape of the the shoe. And absorb the moisture from wearing the shoes. You made my day. Information of knowing something is awesome. I will go out and purchase the cedar shoe tree.
Thanks for watching!
Answered all my questions. Appreciate it
Good stuff... Salute to the Style OG with suit that fits like a glove. Bro we need a segment from you where you take us along to see you get the joints you be wearing get nipped and tucked. Take us to the tailor with you
I've been planning a video like that for a while Kenneth..
*The STYLEST of ALL the OGs is back with another DFP!!!! Yasss!!! Thanks for this, brother. I've always underestimated shoe trees. SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, SHARE and don't forget to always throw the FORM of FASHION a SAAAAALLLUUUTTEEE!!!*
my man Sir Knight!
Hey bro.. this was some really useful info. I definitely will pass it on to two particular men that i know could use this information. Thanks for sharing💖
Haha! Thanks Jeannine..
Thanks OG. Great tips and advice!
Appreciate it Robert !
One thing I use is heel protectors. The way I walk causes me to grind down the heel of a shoe very quickly. The heel protectors are easy to nail on and will preserve the life of your shoe.
Great input Movement!
You are always on point. Excellent advice brother.
Thanks Noble!
SALUTE, Going to be buying some nice dress shoes and a new pair of boots soon. Perfect video :)
Salute Frogbarrel!
Appreciate the video! Great info.
Thanks Paul !
Appreciate the knowledge OG!
Salute!
Thanks. Great advice. 💯
no problem Gordon!
Great video. You put me up on game over a year ago.
I try!
Good job 👏🏼 appreciate the info
Thanks for the info! It helped.
No problem Bruce !
Can you recommend me a good cedar shoe tree for trainers which is UK as USA has very expensive shipping?
Good video bruh 💯
Thanks!
Thanks OG good topic 👍🏾
my man!
Thanks, Jeff! Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Served 26 years in the Army wearing leather boots. The heavy duty plastic shoe trees sold at all of the clothing sales store worked great then and now.
i think they are useable but they don't withdraw moisture..but they will help keep the shape. appreciate the input Tim!
Great video! Just one question. What sizes does the large shoe tree fit?
When traveling do you pack your shoes with shoe trees? I am going out of town for the weekend, bringing my shoes for a conference. Want to pack light, but I also want to protect my shoes. Can I skip the trees while traveling for weekend, what about 2 week business trip? Bring them then. Do I store my shoes with the trees in. I have one really good pair of shoes that I wear maybe once a week. leave the trees in?
bring the trees!
Another great video
Thanks Jean!
Great video!
Thanks Phillip!
My man... Salute!
Salute Mike !
Preach brother!
Salute Antoine !
Thankyou Jeff
No problem!
Hey, thanks for making this video. But I have a really important question. I have a pair of Woodlore shoe trees with really slender heels. I heard somewhere that it's important to get shoe trees with wide heels or else they will destroy the heels of your shoes or boots. Is this true? Or is it okay to use the slender-heeled ones?
Wide heels are better.
Salute o.g
Salute Luis!
This video helped me a lot. You deserve my subscription.
Question: How long should shoe tree stay in my shoes? Or should i just leave them inside if I'm not wearing my shoes?
Just leave them
I use cedar shoe trees on my leather sneakers but my other shoes that aren’t leather get the plastic ones
How do you decide on the size shoe tree to buy?
The tree should have a size guide for the sizes that it is meant to be used with.
Great video and advice about shoe tree
Thanks Jack !
I'm curious to know how the OG use that shoe polish? I'm checking the burnish on the tips of those wingtip.
Exceptional video, sir! What a beautiful suit.
I'm getting a pair of Santonis size 9.5 D and the sizing is just on the M/L from what I've seen on the nordstrom shoe trees what size between the 2 would you recommend
What size worked for you?
Any tips on how to store shoes do you put back in the box or just place them somewhere ?
I try to keep mine in their boxes..
I use the cedar shoe tree on my every shoe except sneaker. Idk why lol
can you leave the shoe tree in the shoe if you have a lot of them or is it bad to store the shoe with the shoe tree?
You can leave them in
I still get a lot of “rolls” in my shoes with shoe trees. Maybe the wrong size?
yO a 16 y.o gent here, recently got a shoe tree for my burgundy brogued cap toe, but I'd like to also ask what's the background song. Kinda got my ear and has me a bit distracted 😂
Great information 😀 😀😀 😀😀 😀😀 😀😀 😀
Will your shoes not lose any shape if you put the shoe tree in it after wear then not put it back in the shoe till after you wear it again? I was convinced you have to have a pair for each shoe to stay in at all times.
24 hrs is enough to get the job done
I prefer the shoe tree with the gold knob enabling you to pull it in and out more easily
I also think you should have a shoe tree for every pair of shoes because why invest in a shoe you don’t want to last forever?
THATS what it does!
It’s only $20
Also, while building your shoe tree arsenal, simply stuff the remaining pairs with paper, (printing, tissue, news, etc) until each of them have their own tree
Just as good!
Nice. Where did you get a shoe tree with a knob on it for $20?

Can keeping shoe strees constantly in a pair of shoe that I don't use to much create creases in the leather upper? Thanks
you can leave them in as long as you want with no issues..
@@TheStyleOG OK thanks!!
I understand to just need to use the cedar shoe trees for 24 hours. After the 24 hours, should I use a plastic or paper fill in?
you can actually take them out and a fill in is cool but not necessary
I just got some Clarks tan leather desert boots. I may get a shoe tree for them.
O.G. It's back with another one. Guys pay attention. I repeat pay attention. It's been a couple of days. Since i last comment. But I'm always on the grind. That doesn't mean I'm not supporting my boi,O.G. on his channel. Trust me guys and pay attention..
Salute Mark!
I appreciate that
Nice 1 👌
Thanks James!
I knees these for my Nike Air Jordans, and Nike Air Max shoes.
I intend to use the plastic ones with a home made baking soda sachet to achieve the drying and deodorizing effect.
well done.
Thanks James!
Are trees only necessary for shoes u wear a lot?? I hv a pair thats worn maybe 1-2 a year
for the first 24 hours after you wear them, not necessary to keep them in after that!
Can i use a shoe tree for a new leather shoes?
Should i let them get used to me first?
yes you can!
Are there shoe trees specifically for boots?
I got shoe trees for every pair of AE and Paul Evans I have. I stick them in my shoes and dont remove them until I wear them. Will that harm my shoes?
Not at all..
It will actually help them look new in the long run. It'll only help your shoe.
Hi Style O.G.. I'm using regular shoe boots in my Dr. Martens 8 hole boots. Is that alright?
Thank you. God bless, Proverbs 31
regular shoe trees? that will work
What happens if you leave the shoe trees for longer then 24hrs? Maybe a couple days!
Can leave them in for extended periods of time, no harm
What’s the minimal amount of time I can keep them in for? Is 12 hours enough
I try at least 12-24 hrs..
The Style O.G. I cant afford a cedar shoe tree and only have a plastic one, how can I know if the shoe tree is negatively stretching my shoe?
New subscriber here. Thank you for the reply.
welcome to the channel!
Great investment....og can u do a vid on field coat fit pls sir tryna get that perfect fit bruh
in the works Christopher..
@@TheStyleOG thx boss SALUTE
just picked up a pair of shoe trees last week for my Chelsea boots. gotta stay sharper than a machete in these streets OG!
Yes Sir!
The link isn't working
Does it matter if the shoes trees are plastic? I’m 22 and see the plastic ones are more affordable.
Do you have an opinion about Church's Shanghai? M.
I'd love a pair, you treating?? lol
@@TheStyleOG I would love to treat you. You deserve it. Would one wear them with a suit? M.
White shirts always impress. M.
Are these even worth it because once you take a few steps after the shoe tree being in, the creases come right back
O.G I leave my shoe trees in all the time is that a bad thing? Help a brother out. Salute!!
nope. you can leave them in there indefinitely..
SALUTE!!
Salute Dominic!
Can i just leave the shoe tree in when I'm not wearing the shoes?
Yes
Mad funny I just got into using the cedar wood trees about a month ago Nordstrom had them on sale for around $12, copped around 14 of them, got them in my Tims and in my dress shoes(not into sneakers too much), I keep them in there mostly to keep the shape so they stay in there after I let them air out for about a day after I wear them then I put the trees in and put them away, do have some of the ikea plastic ones which I did make that mistake and put them in the dress shoes which I had in there for a while, those are now in my canvas shoes/loafers, as far as my drivers shoes I keep the folded up paper in those, keep hearing that shoe trees might stretch them out of there shape, can't do that risk to my Tod$$$. Great & informative vid as usual my brother, Be Safe;-).
appreciate the feedback my G!
The shoe trees, does it has a specific size. I have no ideas
Sam s the Nordstrom brand I have runs from small to XXL, also has a shoes size chart on the back so you can pick the right size for your shoe. Be Safe;-).
what rucrock1 said..
Thanks all
Just ordered a pair of elevator shoes £108 . 3 inch taller. Can’t wait to see how they feel .
let me know how they work out for you James

Like everything else...extended size shoe trees cost a fortune in comparison to average side ones! #SasquatchProblems
