Story
I was recently contacted by Trimly's owner and asked if I would be interested in a pair of their boot trees for review.
I had no idea that anything of the sort existed and I jumped at the chance to get my hands on boot-specific trees to see what they were all about.
The first pair were too large due to confusion between EU and US sizing, but another pair was sent in the correct size and the Amazon page was amended to avoid this error going forward.
The first pair is currently en route to another GYW member that can use them.
Size
The trees are in EU sizing. Size 43-44 fits the following very well:
The only issue I encountered was with my Viberg 2030s.
They fit once they're in but, with the way the tongue attaches to the facings on both my CXL and latigo boots, it makes it difficult to insert and remove the trees without first removing the laces or loosening them to the fullest.
There may be a deft twist-and-push/pull method to solve this, but I need more practice.
Review
I really like them. They fit perfectly in my boots and have great throat support when the boots are tied. The heel is nicely wide but tapers towards the top to avoid stretching any outer edges.
I was surprised by how well they fit my Galways. While I won't be swapping out the lasted trees, these would be a perfectly viable alternative if did not already have them.
I do not have lasted trees for my pair of Vass boots, which is where this first pair will live.
The best endorsement I can give is that I will be sending the link out to family in answer to the yearly "what do you want for Christmas" query and wouldn't mind about 5-6 more pairs.
Happy Thanksgiving
Did I say that already? Sorry. Too much mead already.
You need boot trees.
