i just started using them for my "nicer" pairs. a friend just told me that because they are made of cedar, they leave the shoe smelling fresh. also, after some use, sand the shoe trees down to make em fresh again. i bought my allen edmonds from amazon.com

shoe trees are a must. and like the guy said above me, you lightly sand them for a better scent.

Yes shoe trees that are wood are the best ones, and recommended fro all nice dress shoes and these are the benefits of good quality wood shoe trees.

1). Helps preserve the form of the leather shoe and extends a shoes life by 2-3 times

2). The cedar does help make them smell good but the real reason for cedar is to absorb foot moisture that is left over after wearing leather shoes all day,

3). The Cedar also repels moths and other bugs in closets, thus you see Cedar lined closets in nicer homes.



So buying plastic shoe trees will only help preserve the form of the leather shoe but they don't address the moisture issue.
