If you live near a Nordstrom Rack, check there. They carry nice ones for $13 or so. You also might try Marshalls and TJ Maxx, though those are more hit and miss.

For a bit more, you can get them from Endless.com for $19.95 shipped overnight.

I'm in the UK and Bexley is the best value I have found as of now.

I would like to purchase some pairs that really looks nice to, where can I find this?
I have a pair of Louis Vuitton black shoe trees and some regular bally's.
But is there any with a great finish and just looks really good?

Are you looking for varnished trees? If so, these TM Lewin are probably the best priced (especially since there's always a good coupon floating around)

Those look gorgeous, GDL .. but I wonder, wouldn't the varnished finish inhibit the ... (how to say this politely?) ... "sweat absorption" properties of natural wood?

I'm not a huge fan of varnished trees for that reason but I'm probably wrong since many high end brands (EG for RLPL, G&G?) deliver shoes with varnished trees

This is why I always wait about an hour before inserting shoe trees in my EG shoes--to allow for some evaporation.

 

[Aristocrat]

Anyone on the forum that is selling any of theirs?
Sounds safer, and comfortable.

 

[gdl203]

What is safer or comfortable about using someone else's shoe trees?

I'm scared of ebay.. And close to none onlineshops is shipping to Sweden! :/

I think I wrote this on another thread, but Dean Girling said that the varnished trees they use are still porous so as to absorb the sweat and moisture as it was intended. I'm sure the high-end makers including (or at least selling) varnished trees are aware of the concern, and I would think EG, Lobb, etc. wouldn't sell trees that just looked nice if it didn't serve one of its primary functions.
