Cedar Space Cedar Shoe Trees (Men's)
Cedar trees for men's dress shoes, in 1- or 2-pair packs
Men's shoe trees made from 100% natural cedar, which the brand says is 85% heartwood. Sold by US men's shoe size in 1- or 2-pair packs.
Our take
Shoe trees matter more at home than people think, and less on the road. Their job is to hold dress shoes in shape between wears so the leather lasts. These do that job.
They're 100% natural cedar, and the brand says 85% of it is heartwood. They're sized by US men's shoe size and come in 1- or 2-pair packs. The 2-pair pack makes sense if you rotate two pairs of good shoes. On a long stay or an extended work trip where you unpack for weeks, they earn their space. For a few nights away, they're dead weight, and they take the sock space inside your shoes.
Buy them for home and long stays. For short trips, rolled socks do the job. Check the price for your size and pack count before you order.
Who it’s for
Men who wear leather dress shoes and want to keep them in shape at home or during long stays away.
Skip it if
Skip it if you take short trips or pack light. Rolled socks or a light plastic shoe shaper weigh far less in a bag.
Cedar Space Cedar Shoe Trees (Men's): questions people ask
Do cedar shoe trees really make shoes last longer?
They help by holding the shape and drawing out moisture, which cuts creasing and cracking in leather. Rotating pairs so each one dries out helps too.
What size shoe tree should I buy?
Match it to your US shoe size. Too big and it stretches the shoe. Too small and it won't hold the shape.
Is cedar heartwood better for shoe trees?
Heartwood is the inner wood, which is denser and more aromatic. The brand says these trees are 85% heartwood.
