FootFitter DW29 Shoe Trees are the perfect solution to prolonging the life of your favorite pair. A wider, hook-style heel fills the entire back area of the shoe, protecting the shoes structure. A spring loaded center allows the shoe tree to retract and expand, creating the perfect snug fit. A versatile split-toe block slides easily into place to apply a gentle, crease eliminating pressure. Both heel and toe sections are carved from Tennessee Red Cedar. Our cedar shoe trees will arrive smoothly sanded and unlacquered- an absolute must to allow the wood to naturally absorb moisture and odor from shoes. Only a fresh woodsy aroma will be left behind. Cobblers Tip: Hook style heels provide a secure, comfortable grip and help keep hands clean when polishing shoes.
