Should I buy “shoe trees” for my Chelsea boots?

[RyanEC]

Shoe trees in case you don’t know are wooden shoe accessories that extend the life of your dress shoes or high end boots by deodorizing bad smell, aborning moisture from sweat, and keeping shoes shape.

I got $240 on custom made high end leather Chelsea boots, I also had to wait four months to get them so I want to extend the life of the boots.

Only if they really match the shape of your feet, otherwise you're training your shoes not to fit!

It doesn't look like those boots need anything to keep the air circulating, just store them someone dry and without crushing them, and they should be OK. (Just don't blame me if they aren't!)

I have a couple of pairs of shoes to wear with a suit, so I wear them every couple of years. I think I bought them ten years ago or more. They're still as new.

Anything that extends the life of something is a good thing, right?
Those things are creepy looking though.

Yeah but at least no one has to see them.

If they extend the life of your boots, just get them

Sure, it seems like a good investment. As long as the shoe trees aren’t expensive.

Only $50.
