Story ( See edit )
Not much to tell. I wanted to replenish the Strategic Shoe Tree Reserve and took a chance on an Ebay store with decent reviews.

They seem(ed) to work well.

Not every dice roll pans out and ultimately I'd have to advise against these shoe trees, or any shoe tree with a narrow heel, especially for any shoe that is going to sit in the closet for a decent amount of time.
I noticed that the Ebay tree was stretching out the back of my Lazy Mocs and switched them to JAB trees. u/jso1 brought up the narrow heel on the Ebay trees and then u/YahooEmail mentioned this:
>>Woodlore Epic trees are awesome. The Jos. A. Bank trees are too narrow at the heel ... I've had to pass on several eBay purchases because the seller is stretching the hell out of the heel with their shoe trees
I found this interesting because I hadn't personally experienced this, but it turns out that I have. My response:
>>Well then. I was going to respond with "I haven't seen this to be true," but then I remembered that I have two pairs of AE-line Allen Edmonds shoes in my closet that have been treed since the start with both JAB and AE trees, and I haven't worn them in at least two years.
>>Shoe trees in
>>Shoe trees out
>>Yep. Both trees stretched the hell out of the heel. I am unsure if this issue is not being raised on my other shoes because they get worn regularly, but there is no denying that you are 100% right.
Lesson learned.
TL/DR: Spend the money on Woodlore Epic Shoe Trees instead.
Thanks to u/dsmdylan for the link: these look like a great less-expensive option to the Epic.
Cedar shoe trees. They pull moisture out of the shoe which removes the conditions for bacteria to grow. It also helps prevent damage to the shoe by getting the moisture out (so glues don't get worn down as fast/detach).

Though like someone else said, if you're playing for a really long time you might need to change socks and/or shoes.
These are better: https://www.amazon.com/Woodlore-Epic-Twin-Tube-Shoe/dp/B002VWKRE4 ... the Jos A Bank trees are terrible - their proportions don't work for my normal 10 D shoes and in reality I can't imagine they would work many people without deforming the shoe
