Custom-lasted shoe trees made from sandalwood as copies of the customer's bespoke last. While effective for shoe maintenance, the design could be improved with more rounded or reduced projection at the toe end for easier insertion.
Strength
- Custom-lasted to match individual bespoke shoe
- Made from quality sandalwood
- More affordable than traditional makers' options
- Excellent for maintaining shoe shape and leather
Weakness
- Bottom projection too prominent, making insertion difficult
- Could benefit from more rounded design or reduced toe end projection
- Sold separately as upcharge rather than included
- Sourced externally (Spain factory) rather than made in-house
