Try "One Cedar Lane". They can be found easily on google and specialize in cedar shoe trees and other cedar stuff. They apppear to manufacture for all the big boys to put their name on them. They also often have free engraving. For $20 a tree, I got an awesome spring loaded, split toe tree with my name carved into the cedar at the opening of the shoe. A very big-timer move. :slayer:

Jos A Bank has sales pretty frequently. I usually get them at half off ($12.50 per pair) but they sometimes have a "buy one get two free" so it was $25 for three pairs :slayer:
These are pretty good quality too, nice rounded heel. They do say JAB though :p


+1 on the JAB 3 for 1 deal. With shipping, it comes to about $10/pair. And as far as I can tell, they are the Woodlore full toe, which AE also sells here: http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/producti_SF604_1_40000000001_-1

DSW has some pretty decent ones, they are split toe with springs. Normally about $15/pair but the last pair I bought rang up for $6.50.

I have 5+ yr old shoes that were never supported by shoe trees until recently. After only a few times with the shoe trees, the deep creases have actually become less deep. Imagine if I put trees into them from the very beginning, the creases would be shallower. I became a believer in cedar shoe trees. I buy the three piece ones (two piece front as well as full heel) with a brass knob to help carry the shoes without touching the leather. They come in sizes for every 2 full shoe sizes, so they fit my shoes very well. Not name brand as I just buy them from the cobbler.

Shoe trees are a must have for every pair I own except sneakers and sandals.
Also, FYI - Alden's website recommends letting the shoes "cool down" after wear before inserting the trees. When warm and damp, trees may stretch the shoes....:embar:


Great! Thankfully I always remember to put it in the next morning.

All my shoes have shoe trees of various lineage - not sure what wood and have a plastic one
