We found the following tip in an article from +Esquire magazine. We've been saying it for years, all good quality men's shoes deserve a shoe tree. Check out our +Woodlore shoe trees
"Shoe trees are crucial. They allow your recently worn shoes to
contract and dry out to their ideal shape — but only if you choose the
less decorative unvarnished ones. Varnished trees look posh, but they
don't properly draw moisture — i.e., sweat — out of the leather. Top
marks go to unfinished cedar models with a split toe and a fully shaped
heel: These ensure the closest possible fit between shoe and tree. Also,
there's no need to own a pair of trees for each pair of shoes. The
vital time for using them is the hour or two after you have removed the
shoes from your feet. After that, the shoes will have returned to their
natural architecture and the trees can be removed."
