Folks... recommendations for good light shoe trees for travel? I suppose most are plastic but are there light weight wood ones?

thanks...they don't look so light. maybe they're hollow!Loake has travel shoe tree https://www.loake.co.uk/product/travel-shoe-tree/. Missing info about weight tho
They are like 8USD, so cheaperI would say if the price is similar to M' d Or then it might be the same stuff. Even the cheaper Saphir stuff should be decent I would imagine.
Why do you like them best?I, for myself, actually like the regular Saphir line more than the Médaille d'or

Just a personal preference, both are good products. Regular (blue) Saphir line tend to be less fluid so I feel I have better control of the quantity I use and I get a nicer shine. It smells better to me too.Why do you like them best?
maybe add a renovateurAm looking to build up a collection of Saphir products but dont want to buy everything in the same go.
I have a pair of Allen Edmonds Strands in Tan and a pair of black oxfords.
Get i get away with just starting off with Saphir Pommadier polish & Saphir Medaille D'or Pate de Luxe wax in neutral colour rather than buying colour specific ?

On the topic of shoe trees...My new Tricker Kudu Boughtons are size 8.5. My shoes are a mixture of 8.5 and 9.0 - none smaller. I cannot get any of my trees into the new shoes. Even ones taken out of other Boughtons, of the same size, don't get close to fitting in. At the moment, I have the foot parts of some trees, tucked in, with the heel part sticking out. Not ideal but i don't want to force things. Does anyone have any ideas about this? It is not a prob I have had before. Kind regards, Munky
