Excellent, Sturdy Shoe Trees Made From High Quality Cedar.
I was very pleased when I received my first pair of Stratton Shoe Trees. The quality of the cedar was impressively good. As for the construction, I was also impressed. I've bought many shoe trees through the years and these can easily hold their own with other brands that are far more expensive. Shoe trees are an essential part of everyone's wardrobe and should be used even in casual/athletic shoes. Having spent many years in retail...specifically the shoe business...I can attest to the importance of using shoe trees to help you take care of your shoes. The fit was very good on the size I ordered. I'll definitely be buying more of these in the future. At this price, they're an excellent buy and if taken care of properly, will last you for many, many years.

Dress shoes' best friend
Your shoes are not built to condition your feet, but more to grow fungi, hence, athelete's foot. I'm not saying this will prevent or cure athelete's foot, but it will give your shoes a fighting chance. Cedar, is very resistant to mold and moisture damage. Also the scent of the wood is a great reinforcement. It will not only hold the shape of your hardworking shoes, but keep it in a good shape as well. I don't know how much you spent on your shoes, but if you thought "Damn! Why are the shoes so expensive?" when you bought them, then you should get these, for it will keep your shoes conditioned much longer.

great fit and smell
I found that the inner spring that pushes the two pads apart in the front to be too mild for my liking. I do not know if this is adjustable (the spring strength) or interchangeable, but I wish it had more force so that my new leather boots could have stretched a bit easier in the toe area. Of course, this is not what this product is intended for.I particularly like the smell of this type of wood. I cannot provide any feedback on the moisture absorption capabilities, as I have not been able to test this more than my "normal"/typical moisture released after a long day wearing my boots.

Excellent (and they smell good too)
Ordered these in a size large for my size 9 UK (Size 10 US) oxfords and they fit very well. The spring is nice and firm which keeps pressure on the shoe upper but not overly strong which means insertion isn't too much trouble. I prefer a split toe design for the versatility of fitting multiple shoes and these definitely do a good job forming the vamp and region where the vamp and toe-box meet. Keep in mind that for more pointed toe shoes these will not fill the entirety of the toe-box but they really aren't supposed to anyway because no distress should be happening that far up the shoe.The build quality is definitely top notch as far as I can tell. The only issue I had was that the heels on both shoe trees had a bit of a pointed edge but that was easily taken care of with some fine grit sand paper. The gold nameplates are also a nice touch.These are made of legit cedar heartwood and very nicely sanded so there aren't any rough edges other than the aforementioned heel edge, however the toe and heel of these trees aren't quite as rounded as the product images (see my pics for reference). The aroma from these is pretty intoxicating and trust me you will have an urge to take a whiff every time you handle them.Overall I would give them a 4.5/5 and a thumbs up. For half the price of some big name shoe brands I don't think you can go wrong with these.

The Best Shoe Tree Available
There are many shoe trees on the market and it can be confusing, but this one is by far the best. I use them for all of my shoes. The split toe assures that the shape of my foot, once embedded in the shoe, will not be lost and that the build of of heat after a full day of wear will never cause residual odor or other damage that might otherwise result to the interior of the shoe.These shoe trees are well made and I have never had a damaged one or a splintered one. If you own a pair of shoes that you want to keep for more than one season, invest in this shoe tree and it will pay for itself.

These are great!
It took me a really long time to find a pair of cedar shoe trees on Amazon that would fit a size 8 women's shoe. A lot of the shoe trees on Amazon are specifically made (or at least branded) for men and I stumbled upon these during my search. Let me tell you - THEY ARE GREAT! I ordered an extra small and they fit inside my womens size 8 leather sneakers perfectly. The shoe trees came in a nice box and were packaged very well. They stretch well and are easy to manipulate in the shoe.Highly recommend this company and I definitely will be purchasing more shoe trees from them!

Great Quality!
I would recommend this product. I’ll purchase a couple more in the near future. I just wish that they were adjustable. Not because they don’t fit as expected... But because it would nice just to have the option to spread out. a little more for tightness on the sides and front & back. I have wide feet.. My personal preference though! Overall, great product 👍🏾.

Quality MADE IN THE USA Shoe Trees
Just really nicely made shoe trees for a very reasonable price. Had never owned shoe trees before but after investing in some nicer handmade leather boots I decided to go ahead and get a set because they are recommended by anyone that knows anything about taking care of leather shoes. I didn't exactly know what to expect but they really are awesome and I see how they will extend the life of your shoes greatly. The shoe trees spread a little as you push them all the way down into the shoe, this fills the void area and helps them dry better. By doing this, they look like they are brand new out of the box every time you wear them. The crease marks around the toe bed area are greatly diminished and after a couple weeks I can already tell these things are entirely necessary if you want to keep your expensive leather shoes looking as nice as possible for as long as possible. The cedar smells good and they seem well made. I would recommend these over any other shoe tree on the market because they deliver as advertised and are half the price of the shoe trees offered by high end footwear company like Allen Edmonds.
