It sounds like some of you need to click the shoe tree link in the original post. Just suggesting.

Never had or needed one. We have a "geta-bako" which I don't utilize. I own more pairs of athletic footware than "regular" shoes.

Decades ago, I helped some friends move from a small apartment near Iolani School to their new home in Kailua. The guy had FOUR pairs of shoes, two of them basketball sneakers. His wife, a flight attendent noted for her fashion sense, used an "over-the-door" shoe holder sort of like a garment bag. One of my other friends counted the TWENTY-SEVEN pairs of footware she had.

The disparity in the numbers hints at an "Imelda Marcos" type issue.

Re: Have you ever owned shoe trees?

No, I've never own shoe trees. I think I own no more than two pairs of shoes that might benefit from them; most of the shoes I wear are running shoes which are past their prime for doing any serious miles in. It would be useless for me to put them all up on a shoe tree. (I store most of my retired running shoes in an old Allied Moving Company box which was originally intended for the transport of chinaware.)

I really should be wearing heavier field boots when I'm out on the John Deere, but in defience of the generally accepted rules of what's to be worn while in the field, I continue to use my old running shoes. (I hate work boots..I refuse to wear them!)

I do own an electric shoe dryer though, if that counts for anything. Comes in handy for drying the Nikes and Mizunos out after running in heavy rain storms.

Shoe trees, huh? I remember my dad using 'em but I haven't found a pair that fit my Croc flip flops...yet! Glossyp? Keep me in mind during your next shoparamarellathon, 'kay?!

I just ordered the hubby and I some Crocs.
Ugly buggers but I am getting older and my feet are hurting so badly these days!
Hope they work!

I had to look up a shoe tree...But I do own 2! I thought they were called something else. I don't use them at all. I buy cheap shoes.

I use shoe trees. Being on the Big Island my black leather dress shoes don't get a lot of mileage so they are kept in shape while tucked in the closet.

I just wished they would make a shoe tree in the form a luau foot. Either that or if a local shoemaker can make shoes with really wide toes.
