WoodloreMen's Combination Shoe Tree, Size Large

These are the best cedar shoes trees, and the are made in the USA! The Woodlore factory is across the street from the Allen Edmonds shoe factory in Port Washington, WI. Allen Edmonds sells these as well, they just have their own namelplate installed instead of the Woodlore name plate. I've got a pair in all my shoes right now, and it makes them so happy.

I have a few shoe trees from Amazon, and they're all fine. But this Woodlore tree is without question the best fit in my Allen Edmonds shoes. Really fills up the toe box and vamp. I suppose that makes sense, as I think Woodlore was originally an in-house brand of theirs.If I had to find a nit to pick, the large shoe tree fits pretty snugly in my size 10 shoes. Slightly more snugly than I'm comfortable with, but it's probably fine, and in any case I think these fit up to 11, so it's not really fair to complain of a tight fit on the smallest size it fits.I did try the medium trees to see if the fit was a little more relaxed, and they barely fit at all. Virtually no tension front to back on the shoe, and the toe box was loose. Live and learn.

I ordered 5 pair of the Woodlore shoe tree in XL. My size runs between 11 and 11.5 US medium to slightly wide. Prior to this purchase I had one pair of shoe trees from Thom Mcann (yep very old). When I recieved the shoe trees I had five XL boxes but one box contained size L instead of XL. Before I return them I thought it might be useful to measure each and compare them to the old Thom Mcann ones. Surprisingly the Thom Mcann size L was larger in all dimensions than the Woodlore XL.Front portion measurements were:Thom Mcann L was 3.5 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 2.75 tall.Woodlore XL was 3.25 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 1.75 inches tall.Woodlore L was 3.25 inches wide by 5 inches long, and 1.75 inches tall.The heel portion of the woodlore brands did not fill the heel area of any of my shoes.

This is a very well made product, highly recommend. It appears to me as if a lot of other companies who sell shoe trees outsource their production to Woodlore and then just put their name on Woodlore's product. After that they mark up the price and sell it as their own. If I am correct with that conclusion, why not simply buy from the original source? I have purchased enough of these fine shoe trees so that almost all my shoes have them. I will purchase additional ones in the future if I ever acquire more shoes.

This item is designed and constructed very well. The adjustable split toe works great; there's no pre-adjusting, it's all spring loaded. When you push it in it puts tension on the springs and causes the toe and heal to push out. It's a kind of high-end design with the brass plate and full heel and it smells great too. I would highly recommend for those really expensive shoes you want to keep looking nice. You have to make sure you get the right size to avoid the too big/too floppy issues described by the other users. I picked the recommended size from the chart, (I wear 10.5 EEE) and mine fit perfect.

According to the size chart a size 10.5 is a size large. That is what I ordered, and they fit my shoes perfectly. The mechanism is simple to use: just push the front part in and compress the spring. Once you release the pressure, the spring expands and the heel portion pushes into place. This form, and the gentle pressure it provides, will maintain the shape of the shoe. The cedar has a pleasant smell, and is supposed to absorb both moisture and odor. Made in the USA, these are IDENTICAL to the Allen Edmonds shoe trees.

Followed the size chart and it fits perfectly. Can push it right to the front of the shoe before inserting the back so it fills up right from the toe area and removes all the creases. Once the back is inserted it widens the front part so it fills up the width. It can therefore fit into either wide or narrow shoes easily and does exactly what it's supposed to do. I will definitely be ordering many more. I wear a 7 and the small is spot on.

I needed something to take care of a couple of expensive pairs of shoes I bought. These shoe trees smell great and they absorb excess moisture that builds up during normal wear. The adjustable feature is also great. I have only had them for a couple weeks so far and they seem to do the trick.

It's a very, very good shoe tree. High quality and springs are good. Price-wise, it's excellent. I popped into my neighbourhood shoe repair store and they sold an identical shoe tree for $40+tax. Price on amazon was quite cheaper. Only thing I wish it had was the knob at the end of the shoe tree instead of the current angled thing. However, that would put it into a different price segment.Check out amazon.com reviews for the sizing instructions.

Very good Shoe Tree, as good as any you will find in the market for a higher price.

Good quality shoe tree at decent price

Construction quality is great, no defects in the wood. Fits slightly on the larger side (ordered small for 7E dress shoes) due to the large amount of tension in the springs. May stretch out the shoe if left in there for a long time. Ended up not using them for my dress shoes for fear of stretching. Would be 5/5 if it was just a bit looser.

Hands down the best shoe tree I've purchased to date. Perfectly smooth and shaped like you would expect of a shoe tree. Spring is strong and sizing is accurate.2020 update: They cost way to much right now to recommend. All the ones I bought have kept up so well but not worth it at this price.
