- Why Shoe Trees Are Important. Would you wash your hands then wipe them on the floor? You wouldn't, so why would you buy some nice shoes and not put shoe trees in them?
Shoe trees are one of the best things that you can do for your shoes. And remember, take care of your shoes, and your shoes will take care of you.

Shoes trees are your shoes’ best friend. What are your go-to brand of shoe trees?
My go to shoes trees are the Allen Edmonds Woodlore. The Stratton is close second. Love Your Channel My Brother. Sak Pase.
Map boulé, Stephen. Thanks for your kind words!
Cedar Elements Little Wholesale Program - Cedar Shoe Tree - 6 Pairs (S) www.amazon.com/dp/B00T6L1GAW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.HXcFbEZZE8FD I got these, thoughts?
Roshan Bagga I have some cedar element shoe trees, they are great trees but I found that the heel quarters were a bit wider than I preferred so I sanded them down to my desired heel width.
For the knob problem, I solve this by taking those disposable chopsticks (unused of course), Stick the eating end into the hole and break off the chopstick, Re-screw the knob and good as new. Cleaner and stronger than glue, less chance of glue getting on your shoe tree and onto the leather of shoes. No muss, no fuss.
I like this guy’s style, concise and informative content - and swag.
Thanks, fam! That means a lot. I appreciate you for watching.

Thanks so much for the information if we didn't have Sam body like you we be doing mistake thank bro
One comment on the shoe tree you recommended, everything is fine except that is varnished. Because of this, it will be not so good at absorbing moisture from the shoes. Having those in unfinished wood [cedar if possible] will be a much better proposition. In addition, being unfinished would allow you to rub sandpaper once a year, to clean the wood and restore the moisture absorbing properties of it, after getting saturated.
I haven’t noticed a huge difference using these cause I have both types but I do agree that unfinished wood wicks moisture better.
Aren't unfinished wood shoe trees better than finished shoe trees? Reason is that maybe the finishing does not allow the wood to absorb moisture. Just a question.
What’s up, Michael? There’s not a huge difference but to answer your question directly, unfinished wood does absorb moisture better.
Hey, for the shoe trees that the knob stripped out, put some toothpicks in the hole and re-screw the knob. Should fix your problem at least for a while.
Oh wait, if the knob is not threaded then that is another problem...glue
I believe it’s threaded so I’ll try that but frankly I’ve already replaced them but if I ever need them, I’ll know what to do. Thanks, Tom!
Thanks for letting us know about Shoe Tree. I never really understood the conceept of the Shoe Tree. Very informtive!
Shoe trees are crucial. Thanks for watching and let me know if there’s any subject you’d like to see me make videos about.
Great video mate, very informative! I Notice you are a fairly new content creator, i wish you the best of luck and look forward to watching your future videos 👍🏻
Hey Paul, thanks for watching and subscribing. I truly appreciate the kind words and plan to keep putting out valuable content on a regular basis. Cheers!
I am a fan of your channel Vladimir.
I would love to se you fix the loose knob of your shoe tree.
One tip, industrial epoxi whit a filler. Then a right size drill.
Max 7 minutes job. A man in a suit like yours should solve that.
Hello Vladimir just found your channel , like your common sense style
no nonsense approach just subscribed all the best Adam from the UK
Hey Adam, thanks for watching and subscribing. Awesome comment! My teaching style is not for everyone and I’m completely fine with that but I’m glad that you get me. Cheers!
The only problem with the darker one is that it is not unfinished but some lacquer on it which does not extract moisture.
It still does although probably not as much as an untreated one.
Man you are just wearing my suit I own that pattern 😆
Nice video V. I don’t have shoe trees yet, but I plan on buying some soon. I do put foot powder in my shoes after I take them off as well as before I wear them. And I also spray foot spray in my shoes and my dress boots .
I highly recommend them just to protect your shoes and expend their lifetime as much as possible. But at least, you’re doing something.
Need to mention where and how to store your shoes as well.
Great idea, will do! I appreciate the feedback.
i have shoe trees from the brants Magnanni (spain) and from Floris van Bommel (dutch) realy happy wihte these brands. cost between 45 and 65 euro
I just bought a pair from Nordstrom and didn't think they were the best. After I returned them I went and purchased 2 pairs of Allen Edmonds Woodlore off of amazon and thought they were amazing.
Great info thank you
You’re welcome, Frank!
Genuine information, about shoe trees. 👍
Thanks, fam!
I had that exact same thing happen to me with that particular brand of shoe tree, it just popped right off. Had to glue it back on.
Glad to hear that I’m not the only one LOL.
Another excellent video share funny story with you I was out shopping with a friend of mine and I happen to purchase a pair of cedar wooden shoe trees and he thought they were wooden shoes worn by the Dutch people seriously he had no concept of what shoe trees were or even used for look forward to other fine videos
Haha...I would pay good money to see his face when you pulled out your card to pay for them 😂😂😂
I found that vintage shoe trees they're more wider and Tighter on your shoes and some all the pending off the tipe of wood that are maid they keep it moist out better
Where do you get those from?
@@v_r_ I get them on eBay just tipe vintage shoe trees thank you for reaching out to me
Great video and informative. Maybe in a future video also mention the importance of a shoe horn in order to not ruin the heel.
Thanks Robert and you’re right, using a shoehorn is very important. I mentioned it in this video 👉🏾 th-cam.com/video/Uv3S2gfcMOs/w-d-xo.html.
Very informative !! I’m def going to share with my bf! Ty!
jae Lee Thanks and yes, please do!
Hi! About the broken screw. It happened the same with one of my shoe trees and I've filled the hole with Poxipol (I don't know if you have it under the same name in US but for sure you can find something similar online) and the screw glued on again and now it's imposible to take it out. Good content by the way!
Thank you, Hamudy! I now have these shoe trees in a pair of sneakers. I’ll look into Poxipol, I think we do have it here.
Your video is informative and concise! I love it! Please keep it
Thank you!
Thank you so much very informative. You really taught me something.
Thanks for watching, I’m glad to hear that my video was helpful.
4:50 Try superglueing it back inside! And dont touch it for at least a day, so that it dries properly. Hope this works, cheers.
Thanks, my bother! I’ll give that a try.
I see what you're saying, good information
Thanks for watching, bro. I appreciate you.
Very helpful.
I’m glad you like the video 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great info my man!
Thanks, JR!
Thanks Vladimir for the advice, now I'm in doubt which one to buy first, shoes or trees. hmmmm
Haha...maybe shoes that come with trees?
Great video Vladimir. I have a Question though. Is it okay to keep Shoe Trees in your shoes for any length of time? Or is there a timeframe that we should take out the trees for example, after 1 week or ? Or does it matter ? Thank you
Thanks, Joaquin! The shoes trees don’t do any harm to the shoes, so I just leave them in.
Thanks for the info Vladimir
My wife just bought me my first pair of dead stock 2016 Allen Edmonds Black Park Avenue s. for my birthday in January 28th. SicK shoes. I’m so excited, I wore them for the first time on Monday Thanks for all the info. God bless
@@joaquinfarfan4111 No doubt, bro! Happy belated and wear them in good health.
NICE VIDEO.
4:50 Try shoving some toothpicks and super glue in that hole. You may be able to screw the handle back in and the super glue should stop it from moving around too much in the future.
Hi Vladimer, great content - cheers!
Where can I find the dark brown trees featured in this video?
Manni
Thank you! You can find them here - bit.ly/2SJwOin
How do you feel about the cobbler union and hanger project $35 shoe trees with the split toes?
What’s up, Alexander? Those trees will do the job just fine but I don’t like them as I prefer a wooden handle. I had a bad experience with one of those metal pieces stripping one time. I talked about it here 👉🏾 th-cam.com/video/s4SA159wuu0/w-d-xo.html
@@v_r_ Thank you. The classic, less moving parts = less points of potential error. Yeah, I'm starting to lean towards J. Fitzpatrick shoe trees (have three pairs of his shoes, 2 of them with the trees). Usually, I just go with the shoe trees from the manufacturer (like Carmina trees with Carmina shoes) hence the cobbler union shoe trees, but might start looking for new ones...or those with better insteps/lasts (like J. Fitzpatrick ones, or the $100+ from Hanger Project/Kirby Allison).
Anyway - Hope you and your family are staying healthy and safe. Thanks for your videos. You do a great job!
Exactly right, less chances of something going wrong. I have a few JF shoe trees, I like them but find that they could run a little big. Also, thank you for your kind words.
Hi. What is your opinion on suede unlined loafers and trees? I find they push to much on the heel top part and can stretch them? (...and damage the fit...)
For how long should you put shoe trees in a shoe? 24 hours or more ?
I just leave them in as I have a pair for each for each pair of shoes. But it’s most important to put them in right after you take the shoes off.
where did you get the dark brown shoe trees with the formed handle? Cant find them anywhere
I’m here for you, bro. You can find them here 👉🏾 www.quality-shop.com/en/colour-wash-shoe-trees-dark-brown.html
Hello Mr. Riché,
Do you think is it really worthy to pay 80 euros for Carmina shoe trees? Or a cheaper version will be just fine?
Thank you!
What’s up, Juan? 80 euros sounds a little excessive considering they’re not lasted but they do look nice but I would look elsewhere.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Can these brown trees fill up the vamps? They seem to have a very low profile on their website..
Hey Damon, the instep is definitely a little shallow on these trees. I don’t worry about that part, I’m more concerned about the heel and the toe.
Vladimir Riché I’ve found the best value how trees are La Cordonnerie Anglaise (Saphir) when A Fine Pair of Shoes runs their sales at 20% - 25% off. There are 3 models price from $45 - $55 when on sale. Excellent quality, comparable to my Carmina and Enzo Bonafe trees. Check it out!
Thanks, Damon! I’ll definitely take a look as I need a pair right now.
Your suit jacket shoulders are all rumpled up. You need some suit trees for your shoulders.
On a serious note - you have really good taste and I think we would all benefit from a (series of) video(s) showing how one can benefit from this particular suit tailored to your body shape. This type of video will help us all since my body is not the same as yours, or another person. Yet we are all buying suits off of the rack at whatever store we each have available to us. Therefore we all need to consider the benefits of finding (and befriending) a good tailor (aka, local businessperson) that can help us look as god as possible. Your taste, plus experience can help us all know when to spend money on alterations for a good suit vs. wasting money on a cheap walmart suit. Thanks for the quality content you produce - keep up the good work!
Thanks for the idea. I’ll be making a video soon on the Spier & Mackay custom suit program. I think that it will benefit a lot of men as we’ll be able to get a quality suit tailored to your specifications starting under $500. And you’re so right about having a tailor that you trust, it’s invaluable.
I love your videos, but I don't like how you try to up-sell me on the most expensive shoe trees. I buy good cedar ones with the skinny heels and my shoes keep their shape beautifully.
Hey Jay, thanks for watching. I can only speak about my experience. I know that cost is subjective but the shoe trees that I linked are nowhere near the most expensive shoe trees that I own which are around $100. I believe they’re less than $30. The way I look at it, I spend a lot on my shoes so I’d rather spend a little more and get better shoe trees but your mileage may vary.
Cant take you seriously with those shoulder lines
Then don’t, bro. Who’s forcing you? 😂😂😂
