Woodlore Combination Cedar Shoe Tree

Featuring a split toe design and handcrafted in Port Washington, Wisconsin, the Combination Cedar Shoe Trees are a perfect way to keep your shoes in shape. The adjustable design easily fits in most Allen Edmonds shoes and the Arkansas sourced cedar wood provides natural odor absorption and repels moisture.

Product Description

Just like the signature lasts that give our footwear its form during the construction process, shoe trees are essential to maintaining a shoe's shape over time and preventing bending and cracking in the uppers. Our styles are made in Wisconsin using sustainably harvested, American hardwood cedar, a material that helps to absorb odors and harmful moisture. This design also features an adjustable split-toe that makes it an especially good fit for extra wide or narrow feet.

Keep your loafers, brogues or wing tips smooth and odor free with these classic shoe trees from Allen Edmonds. Made from aromatic cedar, the two part construction and adjustable width split toe design helps to retain the shape of your shoes. Recommended by most fine shoe manufacturers.

Maintaining Your Leather Shoes!

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2023

Size: LARGE 0X USVerified Purchase

Allen Edmonds Men’s Combination Cedar Wood Shoe Tree is a must-have for anyone who wants to maintain the shape and quality of their leather shoes. These shoe trees are easy to use and work seamlessly with your shoe care routine.

The shoe trees are made from high-quality cedar wood and are designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit. They are adjustable and can be used with a variety of shoe sizes and styles.

Using shoe trees has many benefits, including:

Maintaining the shape of your shoes: Shoe trees help to maintain the shape of your shoes and prevent them from developing creases or wrinkles.
Absorbing moisture: Cedar wood is a natural moisture absorber and helps to keep your shoes dry and fresh.
Preventing odors: Cedar wood has a natural fragrance that helps to prevent odors and keep your shoes smelling fresh.
I personally use Allen Edmonds Men’s Combination Cedar Wood Shoe Tree in my Redwing Moc Toe Boots. They have helped me to maintain the shape and quality of my boots and have prevented them from developing creases or wrinkles. They also help to dry out any moisture that accumulates in the boots after a long day of wear.

Overall, I highly recommend Allen Edmonds Men’s Combination Cedar Wood Shoe Tree to anyone who wants to maintain the quality of their leather shoes. They are a high-quality product that is affordable and easy to use.

Who makes a video for shoe trees??

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2013

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

YOU: Really, you made a video?
ME: I did.
YOU: Why?
ME: Because I can.

Shoe trees are simple. They keep the form of your shoe, suck up damaging moisture, and leave a nice smell. The invention has not changed much over the years.

PROS: Strong cedar smell and a solid design. Great price and has Prime shipping.
CONS: None unless you wait too long and mistreat your shoes! Why spend a hundred (or more) dollars on nice shoes then slack on upkeep?

I needed a few more shoe trees because I have purchased more shoes and my only shoe tree (with a cameo appearance in the video) had lost its smell. These shoe trees are notable because the ends have a hook instead of a string and they have the split toe design. I am indifferent with the hook. The split toe is nice because the shoe trees can be inserted into a variety of shoes. I have a pair of loafers that are shorter but wider than the shoes in the video and this shoe tree fits fine (a little better than my older split toe shoe tree).

Initially, I picked up two sets. I was pleased enough that I ordered another two pairs.

UPDATE 11/2013: Hmmm...you wonder, how does that nice cedar wood smell after six months in your shoes? There is still a faint cedar smell (nowhere near as strong as when they arrived but it's still there). I rotate between wearing two main pairs of dress shoes and another less formal pair (worn no more than once a week). A combination of these shoe trees, regular shining, and the rotation has kept my shoes in pretty nice condition. I'm not easy on my shoes---I walk between 30-60 minutes each day between work and home (I'm in a walkable urban area) and I have put new soles on all 3 pairs of shoes. At the start of this year, I thought I would need several new pairs of shoes. I tend to think these shoe trees saved my dress shoes by returning their form, removing some creases, and extending their lifetimes. Maybe it's just because I started taking better care of the shoes. Either way, don't need to buy new ones too soon so I'm happy!

UPDATE 1/2013: I have been meaning to try out the sanding trick and update this post (thanks to the commenters!). Sanding works a little. The smell is (faintly) better but it is not nearly as strong as when the shoe trees first arrived. Perhaps the products had a cedar oil sprinkled on them initially. One set of them still smell better (without being sanded) than the others (that have been sanded) so it could also be hit or miss on the item. Regardless, the shoe trees are serving their main purpose of absorbing moisture and maintaining the form of the shoes to reduce wrinkles. For that, I remain happy!

I like the way the instep / forward section spreads under tension when inserted. This makes for a good snug fit.

I love the cedar smell and construction; however, the spring is very weak. I have to put a spacer in the heel to increase pressure in shoe to allow for proper pressure in toe area. All and all, I like them. The need to increase the spring strength.

Exactly the same as Woodlore shoe trees. I prefer the split toe design as it fits my shoes better, but you have to be a little more careful in ensuring that the tree is inserted all the way in the shoe.

Too small, order one size bigger than recommended

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024

Size: XLARGE 0X USVerified Purchase

According to the listing and box I should order an XL for size 13 shoes. However they don't even make contact with the sides of the shoe. The mechanism also is very flimsy. Unfortunate because the cedar is too quality and smells fantastic. Buy the Strattons instead, at least they fit. I don't know what Allen Edmonds was thinking when they put their name on these.
