I bought some Woodlore shoe trees recently from STP. Was very happy with what I got and the price I paid.

Are these too expensive? Or a good price? Can I get some better ones elsewhere cheaper?

$15 per pair is about the going rate for woodlore so that auction is reasonable.

But with the $20 shipping charge, you end up paying more than $20 a pair.

I bought these from this seller not too long ago:

Note that the seller also sells "premium" shoe trees, i.e., cedar shoe trees that do not contain knots. I don't think that knots make any difference to the function of the trees, however, and decided to save the $10. With shipping, you end up getting five pairs of shoe trees for a total of about $70, and Rochester Cedar Trees are just as good as Woodlore shoe trees.

The one problem, however, is that the seller is in Canada, so it could take a while for your order to arrive. I think it took between two and three weeks for mine to arrive, but I've been very happy with the trees. (It should be noted that they arrived new but not in boxes.)

The best deals on a consistent basis are STP and Grapevine Hill. You'll see Grapevine Hill posting them on ebay, or available at their website, www.grapevinehill.com. They are around $12.95 plus shipping.
Grapevine is very reasonable on shipping costs.

And I sometimes buy shoe trees at the local Sym's store for $14.99, Rochesters, I believe.

I've also purchased some of the Epic's at the group buy price from www.cedarvillestore.com - not sure if the discount is still available. While the opinions on these are mixed, they fit some of my shoes beautifully.
