Description of Adjustable Cedar Shoe Trees For Men'S Shoes And Boots - HOUNDSBAY Wooden Shoe Stretcher With Sneaker Compatibility

USA GROWN Eastern Red Cedar. Premium Aromatic Cedar - Our fresh cedar shoe shaper is an adjustable shoe tree that absorbs moisture and dissipates odor to preserve the shape and integrity of your shoes. RIGHT and LEFT Engravings - Always helpful when inserting shoe trees or a shoe stretcher, we strive to make our shoe accessories easy to use. These cedar shoe trees are made with a spring loaded shoe expander to hold the shoe form. Designed in TEXAS - Better than a plastic shoe tree, our original shoe tree shape, designed in Texas, has a custom length hook heel. This feature of our split toe shoe tree is important to properly preserve the shape of the back of the shoe. Great Gift - This wooden shoe tree pair can be used as shoe trees for sneakers, shoe trees for boots, or a typical cedar shoe tree. Also used as a long term mens shoe stretcher or men dress shoe stretcher in certain situations. Sustainable - We donate 10% of profits of all shoe and boot trees sales toward planting trees. We call it our "Trees for Trees" program. So our cedar shoe trees for men size 10, and all the sizes, help replenish the earth.

Disappointed - my new review

I really wanted to love these, they had good reviews and everything, but they are a disappointment.The springs used in these are very weak.Although they are not made for stretching, good shoe trees have strong springs to straighten the shoe and return it to a better shape after use.This is not accomplished with these. The spring is very weak and does not stretch the shoe enough.I ordered medium, perhaps I should have ordered large?Not sure if I would buy again, though.Also: They smelled great…

Pros
  • Does exactly what it intended to do.
Cons
  • May be too expensive for some consumers

I have little experience with shoe trees as this pair and another purchased at the same time, the original shoe tree brand, were the first I have ever purchased. At the same price, this brand was the better value as the original shoe tree pair had a split in the wood upon receipt and were much rougher. This pair had only one spot that had a small burr in the wood that was easily sanded out. I am getting another pair of these as I bought two but have three shoes needing them. The original shoe…

Pros
  • I added a spacer at the heels (vitamin bottles) and it stretched perfectly.
Cons
  • Too small

I bought these to stretch out some leather shoes I bought recently. I'm not sure if these will expand enough to do the job.These looked like they would work better than the others I saw that looked narrow. Unfortunately I didn't take into consideration that the shoe trees are to be used in shoes that have backs on them. The shoes I purchased are slip-ons. I'll have to figure out something to make this work. They are very well made and the cedar wood is very nice. I would recommend them for…

Pros
  • Gift from spouse, unfortunately, I already have these.
Cons
  • May not be eco-friendly

HOUNDSBAY Men's Cedar Shoe Tree with Wide Heel

I have utilized shoe trees for sometime but never ones like these. It took me a while to make up my mind, considering cost, style, etc. I finally settled upon these and I am glad I did. They arrived Saturday, March 23, 2019 in a handsome box package from the USA! The round heel to stabilize the heel was impressive. Never saw one like that before. The most impressive part for me was the identifiable left and right mark to identify which shoe tree went where. That was the deciding factor for…

Pros
  • New dress shoes that were too tight in the toe and heel.
Cons
  • I wear size 14 and these were a little too small. Had to stuff the heel with paper

Nice shoe trees good for me

Bought the smallest size, which is on sale, probably because it doesn't sell well, and it was a really good bargain compared to other cedar tree shoe stretchers that cost around 50$. My size is women's 8.5 and these men's 6.5-7.5 correspond to women's 8.5-9.5 and fit my shoes well, so I guess they are true to size.For some reason I thought that you can regulate the width of the split in the middle but no, it closes or opens on its own to fit a shoe, so you won't be able to stretch your shoes on

Pros
  • Like. Easy to use works well
Cons
  • May be difficult to adjust to the perfect fit

Not suitable for women’s

I bought the 6.5-7.5 size, it’s no where near small enough for a women’s 8.5 shoeFinding small shoe trees for women has been toughGreat quality though, really wish they fit

Pros
  • The natural cedar wood adds a touch of style and sophistication to your shoe collection, making these shoe trees a must-have accessory for any fashionable man
Cons
  • May not be the best solution for shoe or boot care and maintenance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good but little small

So I needed 2 and I'm glad I ordered different sizes. I wear a 12 so I ordered xl(10-12) and xxl(13-15). Sure enough the xxl fits the best for both pairs. I noticed a lot of comments on the spring but really it should be to fit them in your shoe and keep the form. There arent used to stretch the shoe. They do smell great and I hope it lasts for a long time. Not a lot of "moving" parts so they should last. I would recommend but strongly considered size or 2 up.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • May not fit in all shoe or boot storage options

Quality Craftsmanship. Works as described

Quality craftsmanship and have the great cedar scent. If you wear casual/dress shoes often or even occasionally, these are worth the purchase. They make a big difference in breaking in the heel and keeping the leather stretched to form around your toes. I noticed a difference after the first couple of days using them.Keep them narrow as you insert them so that they go as far in as they can. Once you push the heel in, the front half will expand to add pressure to the leather.And it's great to…

Pros
  • Mens
Cons
  • May not be able to prevent foot sweat

Used for golf shoes

What a difference these have made to my golf shoes. After playing shoes are wet either by water , sweat, wet grass, or puddles. Leaving then to dry on there own caused them to get wrinkled inside hurting my feet as I played the next game. Adding these to my shoes has changed everything. I also use these for my work shoes. Thought shoe trees were a gimmick, no longer. I’m sold.

Pros
  • HOUNDSBAY
Cons
  • May not be easy to store when not in use

Fits size 14 (barely!)

These are supposed to fit men's size 13.5 to 15 but they slip into my new Merrell size 14 Jungle Mocs very easily. I sincerely doubt they would properly fit a size 15. They are vey good quality and I love that cedar smell. I mistakenly thought these were shoe stretchers but I still like them. Might get more to maintain my shoe's good looks.

Pros
  • Product was what I expected
Cons
  • May not maintain the shape of your shoes or boots

My low review is due only to my unmet expectations.

I wanted something that was going to stretch some new sandals I bought. These shoe trees didn't expand enough. Not their fault. In fact, I haven't been able to find any that do expand enough, so I'm stuffing the sandals with rags.

Pros
  • RIGHT and LEFT Engravings - Always helpful when inserting shoe trees or a shoe stretcher, we strive to make our shoe accessories easy to use. These cedar shoe trees are made with a spring loaded shoe expander to hold the shoe form.
Cons
  • May be too bulky for some shoe or boot styles

Superb quality, aromatic shoe trees

Superbly crafted, high-quality cedar shoe trees from the most aromatic cedar wood. Made in China of American cedar. Sizing of "X-Large / 11 - 13 US" for my American shoe size 13 fit perfectly this order, whereas an earlier order had been short. Everything about these shoe trees has been upgraded and improved since my initial purchase several years ago. It’s obvious that Houndsbay noted customer comments and invested in improving its product. Among the very best shoe trees you will find on the…

Pros
  • 42011
Cons
  • May not be aesthetically consistent with all shoe or boot styles

Seemed too small good for me

So far I have bought the Stratton solid, Stratton split toe and now the Houndsbay split toe shoe trees. I wear a size 9 and ordered the medium in all three. Laying the Houdsbay side by side with the Stratton they are pretty much the same size. I'm still not sure I like the amount of tension or lack of it that I get with either of the Stratton styles, but the Houndsbay I was certainly not happy with. It easily slipped into the shoe and in my opinion did not put enough tension on the spring to…

Pros
  • I liked everything about it. Used on golf shoes.
Cons
  • May not be lightweight

This Product Is NOT Adjustable Despite The Photo

But they seem to be a good pair of Shoe Trees. My search was for "Shoe Stretchers" but revain put these into the category I searched. Shoe trees can be used as shoe trees but that's NOT what I needed. Because I saw available space in the toe portion I believed them to be shoe stretchers.since that was what I searched for. revain should get into the habit of listing things where they belong.at the bottom of the page and listed under other items of interest one may want or need. I returned these…

Pros
  • The easy in use and sturdy construction
Cons
  • May take up too much space in your closet

Fit as described. Cedar was not as strong as I expected.

Two ordered. The seller shipped the items safely and arrived timely. I have size 11 shoe and these fit perfectly as described. The one thing I had expected was a stronger cedar smell but that was not the case. This did/does not detract from the overall working of the product. I will add, since I did place them in my shoes I have received less "negative" comments about my "feet stink" since I started using them. So.I'd order them again.

Pros
  • Fit right away and provides support when storing my shoes
Cons
  • May not be effective for all types of foot conditions

Quality As Expected

I live in the Southern Nevada desert where we have very little humidity. I know cedar removes unwanted moisture from shoes and keeps them looking new by preserving the shape of leather shoes but there must be some inherent moisture in the wood absorbed from my a/c that it keeps my shoes leather interior from drying out as well. So it's a great balance.

Pros
  • High quality!
Cons
  • May not be practical for all shoe or boot styles

Decent Product and helps plant trees!

I bought the XL for my size 12.5 Thursday Boots. The trees fit right into the boots with no problem but I can't really tell if they're a little small or just right. The heels of the trees are a little loose but the fronts expand out like they should up front of the boots. They do smell great, even if it's a partially artificial scent. I also appreciate the planting of a tree for my order.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • May not be able to keep shoes smelling fresh

Weird fit. best in my review

Doesn’t crank like shoe stretcher’s are supposed to. It doesn’t come with directions on how to use. From how I tried to insert it to get it to stretch, you basically have to shove it in the shoe as far as it would go. But then you’re left with space behind it that makes it loosen making it harder to stretch back. Weirdest design I’ve ever seen. Waste of money. I’ll be returning it.

Pros
  • Nice and easy to use
Cons
  • May not be ethically sourced

You can't see them, but they work!

I bought a pair of Doc Martens boots that were absolute torture on my feet. I wanted the "Made in England" handmade ones, but the leather was expectedly thick, which means you have to break them in. These trees helped the process. I used leather stretch conditioner on the inside of the boots and used these shoe trees every day for two weeks to stretch the boots out. Now they are incredibly comfortable!When I was 20, I probably would have just put up with the discomfort from the new boots. I'm…

Pros
  • High quality Cedar and size accurate, will definitely buy more
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for your feet
