How tight should shoe trees fit into your shoes?
I've had a pair of these shoe trees for a while. They're a size medium, and I wear a 9D. That's apparently the right size.
They go pretty 'deep' into the shoe, but they definitely have a bit of resistance, and the 'heel' of the shoe tree is definitely engaging the spring, even at fully inserted position.
I just got these when I ordered some Bucks. I also ordered Mediums, and according to the chart, that's the proper size. These are much looser overall (in my other shoes too, not just the new ones.) The spring is much more lightly engaged when it's fully inserted.
They expand a bit, but they aren't pushing against the heel of the shoe nearly as much as my other pair. The others definitely aren't TOO big for the shoe, but I'm wondering if these are okay, or if I should upsize?
Basically, I never thought about how much force there should be in there.

these ones have an automatic adjustable width from C to D. They are made of cedar so it smells nice and absorbs moisture. They are very well polish so it won't scrape your shoes. I have 2 sets my self.
Simple Lexol conditioner will be more than sufficient the first time just to give the leather some life. Not sure how long they could've been sitting in the box before you purchased them. No need to go crazy with maintenance on those boots. Using a simple horsehair brush before each wear just to knock any dust off of them will be enough. Those boots are meant to take a beating, rain, dirt, mud, whatever - they'll be fine. No wax on them. Ever.
Leather conditioner is like the conditioner we put on our skin. Leather after all is skin, and it gets dried out. It just needs to get some moisture to it.
As far as a shoe tree - the one you linked is pretty nice and if you feel like spending the money for it that's fine. An inexpensive one like this will be more than sufficient..
I think Nordstroms half yearly sale may get you some pretty cheap shoe trees (~$15) too - may want to check over there first. The shoe trees are just there to provide some moderate shape to the boot. The leather is pretty thick on those and will be more than fine without it - but it'll keep any thick wrinkles from developing in the vamp. If you sweat a lot in the boots, the cedar provides some relief to the leather from the moisture build up.
these shoe trees should work just fine for your boot. i use them in my red wing heritage boots.
I just bought a pair of Woodlore adjustable cedar shoe trees in medium from the US (online) and they are too big for my shoes. They are suited for sizes 8D-9.5D, however I found with my 8D shoes they applied too much pressure. I would say they are better suited for sizes 9D-10D.
I have only put them in my shoes once, and they are for all practical purposes brand new. Comes in original box and will be packed up securely.
I am looking for $20CAD plus whatever shipping is within Canada only. Paypal
Shoe Trees I Bought
I've been lurking for a while but finally made an account to ask this:
I decided to go with Red Wing Beckmans (9023) as my first high-quality footwear purchase. I also purchased a Kiwi 100% Horsehair Shine Brush, a Lexol 907 Leather Care Kit, and Woodlore Adjustable Men's Shoe Tree (Cedar).
My first question is: how should the shoe trees fit into my Beckmans? I went to a Red Wing store and got sized. They said I have wide feet and recommended I get 8.5 (I usually wear 8.5s in regular footwear like Van's and Nike). I purchased the 8.5 Beckmans and I've worn them about 8 times now. Out of paranoia, I double checked with the Red Wing store to see if the boots were creasing properly (as I have a lot of toe space and was worried that it might be too big). They assured me that It was fine. I ordered size medium (8-9.5 size) and They arrived yesterday. I inserted them into the boots but noticed that it was pretty difficult to get them in there and the heel of the shoe tree scratches against the heel of the boot when inserting. I notice if I wiggle the front of the shoe trees in a bit more before inserting the heel, it doesn't scratch the heel of the boot. I apologize if the picture quality is poor , I only have my phone at this time. Is this okay for my Beckmans? Or should I return these for a different shoe trees? I'm worried about them being stretched improperly. If I should get different ones, can someone direct me to a specific shoe tree? Here are some pictures of my 9023s with the shoe trees.
My second question is, do I need any other care products than the ones I listed above? My care regime currently will be to brush after each use, shoe trees for a minimum of 1 day before next wear, Lexol clean and condition once a month and/or after they get really dirty.
I have a few of these that are my favorite. I'm sure someone else can chime in with something better though.
