I customized a pair of shoe trees for my EG606. However it is quite difficult to put them in... I wonder if the compression is too much that could damage the shoes. Here are the pictures (I include JL for reference, which is little bit easier but also difficult)

After some research, it seems customized shoe trees are normally difficult to fit in(Shellvedge video on EB boots). However, mine seems indeed a little bit larger than it should be. Kirby Allison on YouTube says that after full compression there should be more room to fit the trees in.

Providing this comment for others’ reference.
