The Forest For The Trees

There are all kinds of trees in the forest and so are there all kinds of trees for your shoes. The best trees are those made of a porous wood such as cedar, beech, lime or hornbeam. If you are able to use trees that are the same last and size your shoes are made on all the better.

The single most important thing you can do to prolong the life and comfort of your shoes is to keep properly fitting shoetrees in them.

    Pax,

    Great question. There are cedar trees that are made in women’s sizes. Church’s make a very nice women’s tree. Let me know if you need a pair. There are also more generic types that look like the Alden pictured above,

    Steven, remind me the next time I’m in that I need some trees for my Aldens. Are they lasted and/or sized or do they just have one shape and SML?
