Custom-made shoe trees based on the exact last of bespoke shoes, offering superior fit and protection compared to generic coil options, though at a significant cost premium.
Strength
- Made to perfectly fit the specific shoe using CNC machine copying of the original last
- Hollowed out for faster drying and lighter weight for travel
- Helps shoes dry in original shape and maximizes shoe lifespan
- Engraving allows tracking of which trees match which shoes
- Customizable hardware (silver hinges and pulls chosen over brass)
- Matches shoe aesthetic with turquoise paint color matching lining
Weakness
- Significant cost premium ($300-600+ vs. generic alternatives)
- Requires shipping back and forth for fitting adjustments
- Initial fitting issues and color mismatches required rework by shoemaker
- Not interchangeable with other shoes unlike coil trees
