Customer Reviews Woodlore Combination Shoe Trees for Men

I guess I thought I might save some money and go with these Woodlore spring-extended combination trees, as I normally buy the much costlier full-cut J&M trees. Unfortunately, my experiment did not work out to my liking. The width of these Woodlore shoe trees is absolutely correct. However, I see the length as a major issue. They are much too short and do not support the far end of the toe area. I fully expect that certain creases that may occur in the shoe toe from wearing will not be remedied by these trees. I guess you get what you pay for. I will be returning all of these trees as part of my order and will be placing an order for the full cut J&M shoe trees, which although a whopping 60% costlier, in my experience is the only option for "filling out" the shoe.

Thanks for the splinters. Aren't they supposed to smooth these downs so I don't get a splinter using it?

I place the SM size in 8.5/42 EUR loafers, made by Bruno Magli, Italian and expensive. The shoes had fit excellently until these stretched them. I believe the spring tension is too high. I also believe that these ought to be adjustment-based rather than spring-based. In any case, they did great damage to my shoes.

The size chart calls for a XXL for my size 15EE. They do not come close to filling the forefront of the shoe. The shoe trees appear well made, and the cedar is beautifull and airomatic. I will be returning them and continue searching for a larger size.
