Stratton Cedar Shoe Tree - Shoe Trees for Men & Women, Sneakers, Widener & Shaper | GROWN IN USA

I have been an attorney for 18 years now, and as you can imagine that requires me to dress my best at all times, making sure my shirts and the crease on my pants are fresh, but that was never my challenge for me. On the other hand, keeping my shoes looking like new was something I was always challenged at, I would brush them and take care of them, but they wouldn't last more than a year at best two years. About 7 years ago one of my colleagues introduced me to my first shoe tree (brisker brand shoe tree) I didn't think much of it, after all, it's a piece of cedar. But I got to tell you! my shoes have lasted from 2 to sometimes 4 years when using the shoe tree every night. Due to my recent purchase of shoes, I was looking for that same brand which my friend bought me so many years ago, unfortunately, I couldn't find that brand anywhere (I guess the brisker company went out of business). So I went to our favorite shopping platform, I found the Stratton split toe shoe trees, which caught my attention due to the highly rated reviews, and the fact that its MADE IN USA! so I figured I'll give it a shot. (even though I've only brought in the past Allen Edmonds brand shoe tree). I love these shoe trees. I only bought one pair because I was skeptical that they wouldn't fit right (due to my narrow sizing). However, once I got them in my shoes, I saw that they were a perfect fit, and very well constructed! I bought the medium for my size 9.5 shoe and I couldn't be more satisfied. They smell GREAT, too! I will be buying two more sets for my two other pairs of dress shoes. If you're thinking it isn't worth spending the extra money to have shoe trees, you couldn't be more wrong. I can say that because I used to think the same thing. The fact is, for a small investment, these trees will help to dry your shoes out and help to keep them in proper shape for as long as possible. They will more than pay for themselves when you consider the extra months/years that you will be able to wear the shoes because of them.

These shoe trees are great! I've never owned other shoe trees, so I cannot offer any comparisons concerning quality, but these shoe trees are very high-quality, and I can't imagine them breaking in the years to come. These are well-made, and it's obvious that Stratton uses good materials and care when producing these here in the United States. As many others will note, these smell wonderful and do actually leave your shoe smelling nicer than when you bought it! These are also very easy to use. Even though they are spring loaded, the spring is the perfect tension to put pressure on your shoe while not being difficult to compress and slide into and out of the shoe. I had a difficult time deciding on sizing for these shoe trees. When I was ordering, there was no option for medium trees. The sizes I was considering were small or large, and there is a large gap between. Now, for some references. I ordered small, which states that it will fit sizes 7-8.5. The shoes I own are Nike Structure 18s, size 10.5, Nike Free Run 4s, size 10, Cole Haan Oxfords, size 9, multiple pairs of Sperrys, sizes 9-10, etc. While a medium shoe tree may fit my shoes best, I haven't been able to try that size as they were out of stock when purchasing. HOWEVER, the small shoe trees fit ALL of my shoes so well! Even though they would seem to be too small, they fill up each shoe with pressure on both the toe and heel of the shoe. There is plenty of length to fill each shoe, which is what I worried about considering the size difference. These trees would probably fit just as well in actual small shoes ranging from 7-8.5, but they work in larger shoes as well. Bottom line: if you are on the fence, you can order a smaller tree and expect that they will work in shoes a size or so larger! (A link to the Cole Haan shoes is included here - quick plug: awesome light brown shoes for the money! [[ASIN:B01N6U0PIF Cole Haan Men's Giraldo Luxe Cap Oxford II British Tan Shoe]) Hopefully the sizing notes help if you are on the fence about what to buy. Basically, these trees adjust in a way that makes it hard to find one that doesn't fit. Overall, the quality of these is excellent, and I plan to buy more with each new pair of shoes in the future!

What do you need a shoe tree for? Well, it’s a time honored tradition handed down from gentleman to gentleman. A shoe tree is a refined way of keeping moisture away from the leather, keeping the shoes shape, removing odor and avoiding cracks from normal wear. Fine shoes are meant to be worn for a long time whether new or resoled they are a costly investment that accompanies fine attire. Stratton shoe trees work as advertised. From fit to finish this an excellent shoe tree. Out of the box you’ll find a white flaky crust on the shoe tree. Due to the handcrafted nature of the shoe tree this is residual cedar sap and wood powder. The smell is unmistakably cedar and the wood is sanded to a nice smooth finish. The shoe tree adjusts to fit within a certain size range and I found the fit to be accurate. Invest in the life of your shoes with these shoe trees, it’s well worth the price!

The Stratton cedar shoe tree has been outstanding. The closed‑toe design is exactly what I want for structured dress shoes — it fills the forefoot properly without any risk of over‑expansion, and it keeps the shape clean and supported. The cedar quality is solid, the fit is consistent, and the heel block sits right where it should. After using it across multiple pairs, it’s easily a 5‑star shoe tree. Well‑made, reliable, and far better than the typical split‑toe options for this type of shoe.

Shoe trees are simple. They keep the form of your shoe, suck up damaging moisture, and leave a nice smell. The invention has not changed much over the years! PROS: MADE IN USA! (which is always a sign of good quality) Strong cedar smell and a solid design. Great price for the value. CONS: None unless you wait too long and mistreat your shoes! Why spend a hundred (or more) dollars on nice shoes then slack on upkeep? I needed a few more shoe trees because I had purchased some more high-cost shoes. I used to have Allen Edmonds brand shoe trees that worked very well for me, but I did not have to time to go down to the retail store to purchase them. So I did what we all do and went to Amazon. I bought these shoe trees due to the incredible reviews (clearly the highest rated shoe tree on Amazon), I got to tell you I was not disappointed, in the contrary, it was surprisingly impressive. These are a better build and better quality than my old Allen Edmonds shoe trees, which cost over $30, clearly an American-made product! As well they are the full toe design which is great for all style shoes. I put them in my Allen Edmonds and Ferragamo dress shoes and they fit great, I also have a pair of Echo brand loafers that are shorter but wider than my other dress shoes but the shoe tree fit fine. Initially, I picked up three sets. I was pleased enough that I ordered the five more sets for all my shoes. If this review was helpful please click helpful underneath.

These are very nice, but they run large. Size medium is supposed to be for shoe size 9-10, but are too long for my size 9.5 dress shoes. I had to exchange them for small, which fits just right.

I’ve bought a lot of these for my dress shoes. Smell great and they keep them from getting creased. Pretty simple to use and so far no complaints! I don’t have stinky feet so I haven’t been able to test if they keep shoes from getting smelly but I’m sure it will do just fine. This is an easy way to keep your shoes looking sharp every time.

Great fitting shoe trees, they support my shoes and it’s a treat that they are USA made especially at a Chinese price point. They are easy to slide in and out and have a solid fit. I will say though that the quality is a little inconsistent, there seems to be slight manufacturing variations from previous iterations. Perhaps a change in manufacturer or different QC manager. I took photos of the older version vs. the new. Differences: The addition of the branded “right” and “left” On new ones, great move. There is wood cracks found on the new ones, I wouldn’t imagine that it would completely break apart but this company has been good with replacements from other views. New ones are larger in front last and heel, which I needed the previous ones didn’t seem to be wide enough for a D width but I did verify with size chart. The last vent cut is larger in the new ones. The scent doesn’t last long but they smell great when it’s present. Overall a good value item and they work as a shoe tree.

The cedar is lovely and the overall shape and structure is great, just as expected. However, I was surprised at their size. For reference, my dress shoes are size 16 US and in comparing these size XXL shoe trees to the XXL Allen Edmonds I have from other dress shoes that came with the shoe trees, these were smaller, and are much more comparable to XL in Allen Edmonds. When I put these in the shoes I bought them for, they are stretched out as much as is possible, and if I were to hold the shoe vertically, the shoe tree, will slide down a full inch. So although I will use them, I am hoping they will do what they need to. Results are to be determined. Update: Played musical chairs with my shoes and shoe trees and turns out that I've got a pair that these fit better in, still a little bit loose but not sliding down an inch like in the other shoes I had put them in. :)

Perfect material and price

サイトではアメリカ製と表示しているが、実際には中国広州から出荷された。経済合理性を考えたら通常あり得ない配送方法で米国製造品であるとは到底考えられない。梱包は無いに等しいもので、つぶれた薄い段ボールの中でつぶれたエアパッキンにくるまれていたし、商品には原産地表示も銘版（GOLDEN NAMEPLATE)もなく、サイトが表示しているStratton 社製であるかどうかもわからない。商品は自分の靴に収まったからサイズは合っていた。

Absolutely fabulous. The smell of red cedar is amazing, but most importantly the product is first class. Well made. Cedarwood is the best quality anyway to keep your shoes in shape and excellent condition.

El producto es bueno y llegó bien. Sin embargo, no lo iba a recibir porque el repartidor decía que nos había entregado cuatro paquetes en lugar de tres. Después de muchas discusiones y amenazas, lo terminó sacando de su camioneta, donde venían dos tipos más.
