Article: Why Use Shoe Trees?

About Aromatic Cedar

The Native Americans have known about the many uses of Juniperus virginiana, aka aromatic cedar, for centuries. It is the best material to use for shoe trees, as the wood is very light, very durable, and the aromatic properties not only keep your shoes fresh, they also keep away pests that may damage your shoes. Aromatic cedar is harvested sustainably in North America, where it grows in abundance. 

Mid vs Tall

Our Aromatic Cedar Mid and Tall come from the same shoe tree maker. 

Tall has more wood and is taller than Mid, hence the names.

The Mid does not fill out the shoe as completely as the Tall. However, it is lighter weight, and easier to insert and remove from the shoes.
