Shoe Damage Report & Porn Central - Part I - Page 174  

Thanks guys. The trees are pretty but what a pain to take them out and put them back in. They're even tighter and closer to the shoe shape than Vass trees. It's a bit of exercise every time...

You know what they say about imitation being the best form of flattery...

Yes - got them from Ian - I actually did not notice the trees were from the same piece of wood. I'll check them out closer. Did you get a pair from him too? Are your trees as snug fitting as mine?

Truly pornworthy St.Crispin's gdl! The St.Crispins trees are not only made of a single piece, the (bespoke) customer even can't choose the kind of wood that should be used because they claim that not everything is always available in sufficient quality. As to the "snug fitting" I suppose it's rather perfectly lasted than too tight feeling? At least St.Crispins claims to invest a whole day carving a fat block of wood to a tree that virtually is a kind of last. (if anyone hasn't read their info on the website, I really recommend it).

Nice shoes gdl.

I had Jason make me some hollow trees as well for traveling. They are nice and light.

My SCs from Vienna also have very snug trees.

As do mine. I'm expecting the same from ones being birthed as we speak.

Hold on, you got the boots and you didn't post pics????

Hold the phone... The boots are due in September. I have a pair of the model #114 wholecuts that have snug trees. The boots wills certainly be posted in detail when in my possession.

Well, then where are the pics of the wholecuts? You dissapoint me.

Serious question. How many other people put trees in their sneakers?

I've been putitng spare Epics in them, but mainly because I like how it takes away the smell, and not primarily to keep them in shape (if the latter at all sounds logical).

Am not too sure about the spring loaded version. When I've been to the workshop to pick up my lasted trees(3 pce) and my last they putted together the spring loaded out big boxes with the different parts. At least the knob either on both of them is a extra piece.

Lattanzi also uses a two-piece spring tree.

My 2nd pair of Santoni's!!! Not too sure, I'll have to check tonight! -edit- They are the 7167 Cognac Thanks!! I love em too! I attached a pic below which should be close to the proper color, they are quite orange actually, very bright. They actually felt fine, didn't really mind the thin soles. I went to Topy them last night as I didn't want to wear out the soles toooo fast and they DO feel much more comfortable now Unfortunately, if you look closely you can see that they didn't do too good a job on topying them and I'll need lots of edge dressing
