A must have for well-made shoes and boots. These are well-made, fit into boots and shoes and will keep the soles from curling over the years. Leather shoes and boots, being made of organic materials, require periodic care to keep them attractive and “healthy”. In addition to using cedar trees, bush, clean, and condition once a month. If one cannot not do these simple things, one needs footwear made of synthetic materials. Very nice cedar trees! Also, lightly, very lightly sand the trees with no greater than 220 grit sandpaper every 10 years, more or less. Will allow the cedar to emit the cedar scent...but do this rarely as you would the interior of cedar chests and cedar closets.

very comfortable, high leather quality, very good looking for casual wear, worht the money
I got a flock of these at the Anniversary Sale price. This in turn was after realizing that I'd been wearing poorly-sized shoes, which resulted in buying right-sized shoes from Allen Edmonds, which provides shoes in different widths, and of course is featured by Nordstrom. The shoe trees are easily recognized as made from American red cedar, by aroma as much as anything else.
I checked Nordstrom's advice on shoe tree sizing. I think it paid off.
Bought these to help keep my son’s new white leather sneakers fresh & neat. Unfortunately, they left an orangey stain. Now I need to check my own light-colored shoes to make sure they didn’t experience something similar. Disappointing, because otherwise these are great.
