I've been using AE shoetrees (both the combination-toe and split-toe variety) for a few weeks in my AE shoes now, and I'm starting to think it may be harming the leather around the ankles. I'm a 10.5D, and according to AE's sizing chart, I should be using a large (which is the size I am using). However, the chart shows I'm just barely into the large category. One size smaller or more narrow, and they recommend a medium shoe tree.
I haven't tried a medium. I'm thinking the medium might be too small to maintain a nice form, but the large may be too big and might be messing up my shoes. There is a fair amount of pressure when I put the trees in and take them out.
Any advice?
Without the shoetree in you can see below how the leather has caved in in that area...
