Luxinton Luka Cedar Shoe Tree
A full-length cedar shoe tree for oxfords and flat dress soles
A full-last shoe tree in aromatic red cedar with a contoured toe box, tension-loaded twin tubes, an adjustable split toe and a heel hook. Best suited to flat-soled dress shoes and oxfords.
Our take
A shoe tree only works if it fills the shoe. Leather creases across the middle, not just at the toe. This one is a full-last design with a contoured toe box, tension-loaded twin tubes and an adjustable split toe, so it holds the whole shape.
It's made for oxfords and other flat-soled dress shoes, and the aromatic red cedar draws out moisture and odor. The heel hook makes it easy to pull out, and the wide heel helps the back of the shoe keep its form. It's not a match for sneakers or boots. And like any wooden tree, it adds weight and takes the space inside your shoes.
Keep these at home or bring them on a long stay, and for that we'd buy them. On a short trip, rolled socks do fine. Check the price before you order.
Who it’s for
People who own leather oxfords or flat-soled dress shoes and want them kept in shape at home or on long stays.
Skip it if
Skip it if you want something to pack, or mostly wear sneakers and boots. Rolled socks or a light plastic shaper suit the bag better.
Luxinton Luka Cedar Shoe Tree: questions people ask
What is a full-last shoe tree?
A full-last tree is shaped like a foot from toe to heel, so it fills the shoe more completely than a simple spring tree. That means better support against creasing.
Can you use shoe trees in sneakers?
You can, but trees like this are shaped for flat-soled dress shoes. Sneakers usually do fine with a simple insert or stuffed socks.
How long should you leave shoe trees in?
Put them in soon after you take your shoes off, while the leather is still warm and damp, and leave them in until you wear the shoes again.
