Have you ever wondered why some people insert shoe trees into their shoes? Well, that’s because they want to take care of their precious shoes or boots. Shoe trees are more than accessories for your shoes, they are must-haves to keep them in the best shape. But how do you know which ones are suited for your dress shoes?
