The Importance of Shoe Trees



Essential for the longevity of your shoe, the shoe tree isn't the first accessory you think of when buying shoes. But what's its purpose? Why is it essential? What size should you choose? This article will answer all your questions.

OUR SHOE TREES

At Finsbury, we advocate quality in our shoes, but also in our accessories, including the shoe tree. Rightly considered the shoe hanger, it should be used systematically for all your pairs of shoes. Made of raw cedar wood, it allows for total moisture absorption, for always perfect hygiene. Our shoe trees therefore help maintain the leather of your shoes, which will guarantee you a very good quality shoe

WHAT'S THE POINT?

The shoe tree has several benefits that will allow you to keep your shoes in good condition. First, it allows you to stretch the leather of any model (Derbies, Oxfords, Loafers) when you are not wearing them. As mentioned previously, the shoe tree also helps absorb the moisture present inside your shoes after wearing them. Be aware that moisture is not a good friend of leather. Indeed, when the leather is damp and not stretched, it sags and creates unsightly marks that will become more pronounced over time.

The shoe tree helps limit odors due to perspiration accumulated throughout the day and maintains permanent freshness.

Finally, the shoe tree protects your shoes against moths, thanks to the raw cedar wood which keeps them away.

WHAT SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

The shoe tree replaces your foot when you're not wearing your shoes. So, you should choose your usual size.

HOW LONG SHOULD THEY BE LEFT IN THE SHOE?

We recommend leaving the shoe trees in place whenever you are not using the pairs.
